The complete Ring Cycle. 1970s Time Life packaging of the 1960s Decca recordings featuring conductor Sir Georg Solti, Birgit Nilsson, Hans Hotter, Wolfgang Windgassen et al.
Lot consists of four individual boxes of 6 LPs each, one per opera. Three of the LPs in the Das Rheingold box are an introduction with commentary by Solti. Each opera has an illustrated booklet with Cast Biographies & Photographs, Synopsis, Conductor's Notes, and complete Libretto.
CONDITION: Vinyl is EX to NM Boxes are G to EX (see photos below) Interior Sleeves are EX Books are EX * I am not a professional, these are my approximations based on online grading guides. I have not played the entire set in years, but of the ones I have played I only found one small mark that did not impact playback. These photos show the only significant damage to the packaging.
