WALTER CARLOS Switched-On Bach I & II, Well-Tempered Synthesizer 3 x LPs EX cond

	£		28
	$		37

This listing is for a set of 3 x Walter Carlos LPs; Switched-On Bach / The Well-Tempered Synthesizer / Switched-On Bach II.
The first two are early 70s reissues of the late 60s originals, while 'Switched-On Bach II' is the original 1973 issue.
All three albums are the UK versions and all of them have EX or better vinyl, lovely clean sound (in fact two may even be NM).
If you've seen Clockwork Orange you'll be aware of Walter/Wendy Carlos's modular synth interpretations of classical music - here it's mostly chamber music, possibly because this lends itself well to sequencers? 
Anyway, if you'd like to add all these to your vinyl collection in a single swoop, here's your chance (and you'll pay only one carriage charge to boot!). Record details follow. Please note, will not split!...

PLEASE NOTE: I do not "sight-test" records and list with comments like "vinyl looks to be in good condition". This is because a disc can look perfect but still have surface noise throughout (as I've found on too many occasions). All my records are played from start to finish on a fairly unforgiving Sansui deck fitted with an Ortofon cartridge and stylus.
