This particular collection is aimedat the serious collector. Look out for a very large amount of violin & pianopieces, together with a selection of early stereo recordings, including a good numberof serious First Editions & TAS-listed items.

Additionally, there are a number of78rpm 10” & 12” - recordings by the likes of Kreisler, Neveu, Haendel, Elman& Heifetz.

All starting prices are exceptionallylow, designed to guarantee early bidding.

Please compare my starting prices to similar items onEbay – condition is the same - I am merely ensuring that my startingprices are the lowest

CONDITION GRADINGS

My descriptions are logical, simpleand straightforward, as outlined – below.                                                         If a record is virtually flawless, it is near mint. If it has visible, but surface-only / inaudible blemishes,           then it is excellent. Any item with moresubstantial marks and/or clear obvious disruption is Very Good+

Please rest-assured that all significantly visible marks are sound-checked and described accurately.

I try to keep my gradings as simpleas possible. Nothing will be ‘mint’ because all these recordings are pre-owned.No vinyl graded below Very Good+ will be listed.
