Record Grading:?
Sides 1-10: NM+ Never played. Removed from inner sleeves for first time to capture stamper detail listed above.
Jacket Grading:   NM+ Box is in pristine condition. All seams are fully intact. Corners are sharp. Colors are rich with no fading/aging. Spine of box shows no wear and title is clear. Front cover still has nice new gloss.  Please see numerous close-up photos I've provided.         Overall:
This may be my favorite collection of the Late Quartets. It's just marvelous from start to finish. The recording quality is as masterful as are the performances. It's worth noting that the movements of these quartets are played without pauses. Remarkable! This item is nearly perfect in every way and, most importantly, the first pressing LPs have never been played. Includes all original inserts (heavy stock outer sleeve / paper inner sleeve)
Shipping:   I use a precise scale when calculating final postage to eliminate all unnecessary shipping expenses. I am always happy to combine auction items and will do everything I can to reduce the final cost of items you purchase from me. All LPs are secured with bubble-wrap and carefully placed in proper mailers with specialized cardboard inserts for reinforcement. The LP will be shipped in its inner sleeve, stored outside of the record jacket to avoid damage in transit.  NOTE ON BOX SETS:  I normally wrap box sets in multiple layers of bubble wrap and ship "as-is" after placing some additional thin tissue/paper into box to further reduce movement of contents during shipping.  If you would like all 5 LPs shipped outside of the exterior case, I would be happy to do so although it will add up 24-32 oz. in incremental postage weight.      Note: This is an item that is out of print or considered a collectible. Returns can only be made if the item is not as described. Bidder has 7 days upon receipt to inform me. I will issue refund once item is in hand, and confirmed to be in the exact same condition as pictured in original. Return shipping costs are the buyer’s responsibility. My shipping is nonrefundable. Buyer’s remorse is not covered by this return policy.
This record comes from my personal library. I am first and foremost a music lover & collector, NOT a dealer or bulk seller. I am auctioning off a few choice pieces as I have run out of storage space. The majority of the items that I sell are duplicate copies looking for a good home. Please enjoy this music with your friends and loved ones!!
