Janos Starker Recitals  Star Records Vol 1-6 Complete Set  Private Press 7 LP

Original for X01 This is the complete output of Janos Starker's private label, Star Records X01 - X06. I bought this set directly from Star Records long ago (probably in the early 1990's). All records look and play NM except for X01 which looks NM, but seems to have had a problem with the vinyl formulation or the pressing, because it plays with unlistenable distortion and surface noise. I do not know if this is endemic to all copies of X01.
However, X01 is actually a repressing of Virtuoso Records 816V-3296 "The Road to Cello Playing, Traditional Etudes and Studies". I am including a copy of this original record in addition to X01 - X06.
Titles (all featuring Janos Starker on cello):
X01 and Virtuoso 816V-3296: Road to Cello Playing X02: Kodály Duo; Heiden Sonata X03: Solo Cello - Cassado: Suite for Solo Cello; Kodály: Sonata for        Unaccompaied Cello, Op.8 X04: Schubert: Arpeggione Sonata, Sonatina in D Minor X05: Cello Recital I, with Shuku Iwasaki, pno. X06: Cello Recital II, with Shigeo Neriki, pno.
Condition  6LPs: NM plus a VG+ copy of the original Virtuoso Records LP (See comment above concerning X01.)                     7Covers: VG+ to VG++  Some of the covers have minor shelf wear.                    These LPs have been carefully cleaned and play graded. Grading scale is below.
