SET 346-8 WB BACH: CHRISTMAS Oratorio / Ameling /Munchinger DECCA 3LP BOX SET*NM

	£		20
	$		26

This is from a large Classical Vinyl LP collection that I have acquired. As with most classical collectors, the owner was very careful and diligent with his collection. Many of the vinyl look like they haven't been played or have been played on very few occasions and in some cases items are sealed/mint unplayed!!.

Please add me to your favourite seller list! for any updates, as I have about 20 boxes of classical LPs & Box Sets waiting to be listed - there are many gems that rarely turn up for sale on Ebay.
