NM+ SL-182 COLUMBIA 6-EYE DELUXE 3LP SZIGETI, TORTELIER, SCHNEIDER, CASALS FESTIVAL PRADES
** Stampers 1A/1A/1A/1B/1B/1F **   Ultra Rare / Deluxe 3LP Hinged Box Set / Early Pressing / Gray & Black 6-Eye Label /  Mono Recording
Casals Festival at Prades: Third Series
Brahms & Schumann Chamber Pieces   Featuring: Pablo Casals, Madeline Foley, Dame Myra Hess, Milton Katims, Alexander Schneider, Isaac Stern, Joseph Szigeti, Milton Thomas, Paul Tortelier      Record Grading   NM+ All records have never been played.  High gloss and no spindle wear.  ED1 early pressing stampers.  Note: Any surface noise on these records will be inherent to the pressing & packaging methods of the era. 
Jacket Grading    NM An exquisite package.  Heavy box with hinged/attached inner sleeves (all 100% intact).  Liner notes & photos printed on beautiful heavy-stock deckle edge paper.  They just don't make collections like this anymore.  I've marked down from NM+ only because the number/price "8.37" is printed (small and neat) on the inside of the lid in one corner.  This is in pencil and will most likely be easy to erase but I will leave that up to the discretion of the buyer.  An extremely minor, cosmetic concern but still worth calling out.  See photo.  
Overall Grading   NM+ A beautiful copy of this rare deluxe 3LP set.  All original inserts are included and in mint condition.  Early ED1 stampers across all sides of the unplayed vinyl.  I will package this with great care for safe shipping.  

 

 

Shipping Policy:
All LPs are secured with bubble-wrap and carefully placed in proper mailers with specialized cardboard inserts for reinforcement. LPs will be shipped in their inner sleeve, stored outside of the record jacket to avoid damage in transit. Box sets are mailed with the LPs remaining inside, after placing thin sheets of packing paper or bubble-wrap inside to further reduce movement of contents.      I am happy to combine auction items to reduce your shipping costs.  However, if you want multiple items to be mailed in one package DO NOT PAY until you are done bidding.    I mail purchased items very quickly, typically same day, but ONLY to the address specified in the original request.    
Return Policy:
Please read my return policy carefully before bidding. It will minimize surprises and misunderstandings.
1.  My shipping costs are nonrefundable.  Return shipping costs are the buyers responsibility. 
2.  My listings include high resolution, close-up photos taken under bright light. Please review them before making bidding decisions. I am happy to send additional photos upon request. 
3.  Returns may be requested up to 30 days after item is delivered.  Refunds will be issued only after the returned item is in hand and confirmed to be in the same condition as pictured in the original listing. SEALED ITEMS MUST BE RETURNED SEALED. "NEVER PLAYED" RECORDS MUST BE RETURNED UN-PLAYED. 
4.  When purchasing "never played" records, you may see remnants from the original packaging process on the LP.  My policy is to let you clean this off with your own equipment. Experienced collectors know that fine cardboard dust or bits of paper from the original sleeve are the most reliable signs that a record has never been played.  For more information on this topic visit the websites of a trusted RCM manufacturer such as VPI, Record Doctor, Okki Nokki, or Nitty Gritty.
