holy cow. Was this from an estate sale or an individual abandoning vinyl for digital? No matter, what a find.
@lowrider57 just one of those things. i happened to be looking at ebay and saw this classical collection for bid. the guy lived in N.J. and had purchased it from a Grammaphone Reviewer 20 year ago. a wide variety of classical music, with the focus on performance and not the most desired pressings. but a few gems here and there. and the condition is pristine almost 100%.
i messaged the seller and made an offer, turned out he knew me (i did not know him) from the forums and he accepted my offer. it came in 46 boxes on two pallets. 1800 pounds. a lifetime of investigations for me. and it was what he said it was. and i paid a fair price too.
yes, a ’find’.
