About this Item

1953 Deluxe issue of this complete collection of 12 spoken word recordings housed in its original leather attache case. Contains all twelve original Long-Playing 33 1/3 records, each in their own original printed black paper sleeve. Stored in the pocket in the attache case is the book with a description of the readings on each record and a preface by Goddard Lieberson. The sound quality is excellent. There is a surface scratch in the middle of Christopher Isherwood Side 2 that causes an audible tick for a few minutes but does not cause the content to skip. Please note that these recordings are monaural and were recorded in the days before Stereo sound. A few of the black printed sleeves have small tears along the edges and the leather attache case is missing the original leather closing snaps. Otherwise in excellent condition. Please see all images. Feel free to contact us to discuss. Complete set is very heavy; over 10 lbs. International shipping will require significant additional shipping charges.
