Whew! Classical Haul (Pics)

Posted by Hi-Fidelity (A) on May 22, 2012 at 17:28:38

Purchased these about two weeks ago. This was a rather large collection (at least 1,000) and well cared for with really nice covers. I ended up with about 150 plus 8 boxes (boxed sets, 2nd to last photo) after closely examining the ones I found interesting.

I've been trying to track down quite a few of these in near mint condition including the 1962 Karajan Deutsch Grammophon Beethoven cycle (box set). A couple of dupes with different labels or upgraded covers. I also found a few jazz and folk albums.
