Full Set Franklin Mint the 100 Greatest Recordings of All Time LP VINYL +BONUS

$

470

DESCRIPTION: There is fifty library cases, total of 100 different volumes, and with each library case contains two long playing records, with each record resting, fully protected, within its own dust free compartment. 

The record is firmly supported within the closed compartment in such a way that the accustomed 

laying surface never touches any part of the case. Each library case includes a instinctively written and illustrated commentary, by a appreciated music expert. 

The library was first announced on the 100th anniversary of Thomas Edison’s invention of the phonograph. Each recorded treasure was pressed with a special vinyl formulation that enabled a clear, quiet playing surface on a more rigid LP disk. Every record was pressed in an atmosphere controlled “clean room.” 

The composers and their works are discussed in detail, and background information is provided on the orchestras, conductors, ensembles, and featured soloists.

  Each library case includes a specially written and illustrated commentary. Every recording was selected by a distinguished panel of music authorities (Martin Bookspan, Marcel Prawy, Schuyler G. Chapin, Franco Ferrara, Irving Kolodin, William Mann, R. Gallois Montbrun, Andre Previn, William Schuman and H. H. Stuckenschmidt).
CONDITION: This is a complete set of the 100 Greatest Recordings of All Time from The Franklin Mint.  I will try to describe as accurately as possible this large collection.  The records themselves and the pages within the cases are all in near mint to mint condition. There is some minor discoloration on the edges of some of the pages where light and oxygen produced a slightly different color on the edging. Most of the the outer cases are in excellent to mint condition but there are a few of the outer cases with some minor issues.  One case has a slight tear in the binding, a couple have scratches, and one has a scrape on the back.  Overall the condition is very good for the age and you will have no problem displaying, listening to, reading, and enjoying this set. If you are concerned over condition you can ask for additional photos of individual cases and I will be more than happy to take some for you.  This item is from a smoke-free home.  Due to large shipping costs I must sell this item as-is, but bid with confidence.  I have a 100% feedback rating and have described this item as accurately as possible.  Feel free to contact me with any additional questions or concerns. 
BONUS:  In addition to the standard pages within each case a few cases included special inserts.  I included photos with those to show that they are present and intact.  As an added bonus many of the cases include the original letter that came with the case.  The complete set of index booklets (4) is also included in this set.  You will be hard pressed to find a better set!
SHIPPING:  Free Shipping!  This is a large and heavy item.  I will ship at the best rate I can find, including USPS Media Mail.  Local pickup is available in Vale, NC (45min outside of Charlotte).  If you pick-up locally, I will offer a $75 discount to the winner.
