Franklin Mint 100 Greatest Recordings of all time

Vol 35/36 - Baroque Masterpieces

‘The 100 Greatest Recordings of all time’ from the Franklin Mint has been called the ultimate private library of fine recorded music. Every recording was selected by a distinguished panel of music authorities, and released in the late 70’s, early 80’s.

Each leather bound library case houses two burgundy coloured vinyl records, with each record resting, fully protected, within its own dust free compartment. The record is firmly supported within the closed compartment in such a way that the grooved playing surface never touches any part of the case. Also included is a specially written and illustrated commentary, by a respected music expert. The composers and their works are discussed in detail, and background information is provided on the orchestras, conductors, ensembles, and featured soloists.

Each recorded treasure was pressed with a special vinyl formulation that enabled a clear, quiet playing surface on a more rigid LP disk. Every record was pressed in an atmosphere controlled “clean room.”

Volume 35

Brandenburg Concertos No’s 2, 3 & 5

These records have been securely stored for 25 years and played only occasionally.
Perfect condition.

I have some more records from the collection which will be listed soon.

Collection would be best, as potential buyer can check the quality before committing to purchase, but I can also post for approx €15
