This sale is for the lot of records from the "Music Treasures of the World"" series listed below. They are primarily classic composers, but there may be a few other genres included. They're all from a subscription series around the mid to late 1950's, and possibly into the early 1960's. There are 18 records in all with plastic or paper sleeves by various artists on each side of the albums. The records are in good to excellent condition with only a couple being in "fair" condition, meaning I don't know if all they need is a cleaning or refurbishing. I will do my best to assess each record visually. They are 33 1/3 RPM, long playing. The sleeves are in worn condition with some of the paper ones being a little torn, and the bottoms of a couple plastic ones opened a little. They are a very nice collection of vintage records that were pretty well taken care of. Please see my other auctions to find more great collectibles and gift ideas. I love to combine shipping, though I can only combine shipping of these records with other media items.

 Thank you so much for looking, and happying!
