Description
Here is the complete 30 volume set of Time Life's Great Men of Music. Each box-set features 4 LPs and a 24-page booklet of a single composer for a fantastic survey of Western classical music.
Each box-set is packaged in a colorful, heavy outer cardboard sleeve with black heavy cardboard inner sleeve that holds the LPs and beautiful booklet (see photos). Made in the USA, between 1975 and 1979.
The most exciting aspect of this offering is that the majority of the sets--22 of them--have never been opened and are still in their original factory sealed shrink wrap.
Two of the remaining eight sets have been opened, but remain in the original shrink. These sets look to have been played maybe once or twice--VG++>NM condition.
