Wagner ?– Der Ring Des Nibelungen 22 LP Box Set
The box is in Excellent /VG++ Condition. Has some light marks, odourless clean box. All the record sleeves and the original inner sleeves are in Near Mint /Pristine condition! Most of the records are probably unplayed, has no signs of any use. I cleaned all records and I found 3 records with some marks:
Götterdamerung: Side 9 Ring 18 Has a few light marks, nothing tangible. Plays without jump, skip, repeat. Exc Sound Q Siegfried: Side 9 Ring 13 Has a some light marks, nothing tangible. Plays without jump, skip, repeat. Exc Sound Q Das Rhiengold: Side 1 & 2 Ring 1 This record has a few heavier marks not so long but a bit deeper scratches. Plays through on both sides without jump and repeat but these scratches have affect on the sound quality, knocking, popping noise. I would still grade as VG or minimum G++ Sound quality.
So I would say the overall quality of this box set is Exc+   Heavy item! 14kg Still offering Free UK Shipping!

Incredible 1970 UK 22 stereo LP boxed set of the complete edition of Richard Wagner's four part opera, 'Der Ring des Nibelungen', also known as 'The Ring Cycle' featuring the four operas 'Das Rheingold','Die Walkure', 'Siegfried' and 'Gotterdammerung'. 
There is also a unique three record introduction to 'The Ring' set narrated by Deryck Cooke featuring excerpts from the four operas. 
Each opera is in its own separate wooden ended partition with full size libretto booklets containing synopsis & full transcription for the operas.  The performance is THE classic version by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Georg Solti,   a powerful orchestral drama, phenomenal performance and superb sound. 
The whole ensemble is enclosed in a very weighty carved wooden box with gilded front panel.
