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.
