396g. Giuseppe Campanari - Barbiere de Seville-Aria - Columbia Grand Opera 1226

$

708

Title:   Barbiere de Seville-Aria (Largo al factotum)

Artist:   Giuseppe Campanari

Label and Record Number:   Columbia Grand Opera 1226, take 2

Defects:   None

Condition (1 to 10 scale):   10

Comments:   I had to seriously consider giving this rare record a grade of 10.  However, aside from a slight bit of wear on the label, there are no cosmetic or aural defects.  The record looks and plays as good (and probably better) than any other copy you may find.  Yes, the nit-picker may find a tiny speck or spot to quibble about, but in my experience you are very unlikely to find any 114 year old record in better condition.

Featured This Week:   I'm going to start listing some of the better classical vocal records from my own collection.  Starting in November, look for Columbia Grand Opera discs, Victor 5000 series, first edition Tamagno records, Melba and Patti special labels, early Monarch and DeLuxe Red Seals, Victor Pre-Dog issues, and probably some G&T, Fonotipia and Edison discs as well.  I'll list one or two a day so as not to flood the market.  Check our listings frequently and browse the "Classical" section of our ebay store for new arrivals!

It's time to start selling my personal collection of 5000+ records.  I'll be listing all types of premium cylinders and discs containing historic, popular and classical selections.  Look for concert and opera cylinders, Berliners and other early discs, political and spoken word recordings, rare jazz and blues, unique Edison material, vintage classical vocals selections, rare and unusual labels, colorful picture discs, limited edition records, personality and vaudeville artists, classical pianists and instrumentalists, scarce overseas issues, and much, much more.  I've spent over half a century accumulating this collection, and I want to see the records go to good homes.  So again, be sure to add this site to your Favorites list and check back often.
