Bach: Complete Cantatas / HARNONCOURT, LEONHARDT / 90 LPs in 45 Sets on DAW

$

500

The complete Bach kantatenwerk as recorded by Leonhardt, Harnoncourt and company. 31 of the 45 sets are still in shrinkwrap, though a few of these have been opened and returned to the shrink after play, and a few others have seen the shrinkwrap pop, though the records have not been played. Each set comes with two booklets, the early issues with three. Volumes 1-20 were issued with wraparound bands, the later volumes were not. The 25 or so sealed sets speak for themselves as M/M. The remainder are Ex to NM in Ex to NM boxes, all formerly the property of a single, fastidious, owner. The labels and sides are bright and undamaged, a light brushing is warranted in all cases, but I found nothing more than this was needed to remove some light particulate and return the LPs to their original lustre. In a very few cases (hence the Ex base) some light sleeve scuff and a few touches of light needle mark were found. While I did not play every opened set, I did extensively sample the LPs and found nothing worse than some very soft and infrequent pressing static (hence, again, Ex) but in most cases the LPs were true NM in sound and look. Some wear has occurred to the wraparound bands but all (i.e., those issued with the first 20 sets) are intact. The inserts are clean and undamaged. The boxes are undamaged and have suffered no more than some light corner wear and touches of light soiling (hence, Ex) but are largely very clean, sturdy, and without wear. For those interested, whether in the US or abroad, please contact us regarding shipping costs in advance; the posted weight covers only half of the set, so shipping would be roughly double that indicated.
