Description
This item is from a list of mono era collectable opera sets & recitals collected first-hand from a proudly-cherished record collection. As you can see, I have listed the Callas items first, but also included collectable conductors and other soloists who no opera lover would want to exclude. These HMV, Columbia & Decca sets are in beautiful sound, and so well preserved as to be an ideal investment set. These were mainly played once to transfer to reel to reel, and have been stored archivally, as the pristine state of the sleeves and lack of spindle marks confirms. They look unplayed on the whole, incredible for the age of them.

Sung In Italian.
This set is near mint with no marks on any of the six sides to the thick vinyl, has unmarked spindle free labels and the booklet is near mint also. One neat gift inscription dated 1957 inside the lid and a small shelf scuff to the base make the box excellent to excellent minus, but the gold lettering to the spine is still strong, and the box is intact with no damage to the lid image, so looks fine.
When we post this to you, it will be packed in hard card custom made new boxes.For more items of similar interest see our me page.
