L'Archet D'Or Series 1, 2 & 3, Unnumbered -

	A$		1,300
	$		861

If you're collector these will no doubt be of great interest to you. As well as being extremely limited, to the best of my knowledge this set is the only unnumbered set in existence.

L'Archet d'Or issues were limited to 250 numbered copies, on LP only, presented in hand made jackets, silk-screen printed with original designs and including informative notes and photographs (where possible).
Including this set, there are in fact 251 copies of each box set. I believe these were the first pressings and a sample set, but that is speculation and not confirmed.

Series 1 was released in 2002, Series 2 in 2003 and Series 3 in 2005. All LP sets are long out of print and unavailable. These award winning landmark productions rarely surface in the secondary market.
The LPs are 100% analogue, mastered from tape at Abbey Road Studios, and pressed by Pallas GMbH in Germany.
These recordings were never made available in any digital format.
The records themselves are mint condition and have never been played.
Series 1 and 2 sleeves are mint and still in their original unsealed cellophane. Series 3 never had these cellophane wrappings and as a result have slight discoloration at the spines. (See photos) The hand made linen boxes unfortunately do have some marks with minor discoloration, mainly to Series 2 (See photos)

These recordings are licensed exclusively to Coup d'Archet and have never before been issued. All are copyright approved by MCPS (Mechanical Copyright Protection Society Ltd.) - these are NOT pirate recordings. We continue our practice of 100% analogue mastering on lacquer, and manufacturing to the highest standards available.
