This is the complete set of Beethoven’s string quartets (early, middle and late), performed by the Budapest String Quartet, recorded and pressed by Columbia Masterworks Records. There are twelve records in this complete set, with recordings on both sides of each record. Each record is perfectly flat and even with not even the slightest curve. THESE RECORDS ARE IN MINT CONDITION.

These three boxes have been in my mother’s closet forever, I believe since the 1950s. I cannot recall her playing these records. We had a fancy record player, which my father used quite a lot for his records, but my mother did not let my father play these records. I think her parents gave her the record set.
