After a family member died, we had the usual estate material to clear out and finalise.
One of the minor items left to deal with last was the usual "tape/record" music collection.
Everybody has heaps of records and tapes, most pop stuff, all of that has been disposed of by giveaway to the local op shop, church, charities etc.

HOWEVER.
One part of the music material still left to re-home is a purpose built, floor stand cabinet containing a set of LP discs catalogued and so searchable by Composer and Piece.
This is a reference collection of the composers works.
What I would like is a comment from anybody with a musical opinion of the worth or desirability of such a collection or is interested in finding out more with the end view of owning it.

I will do an information PDF that Brad can pin to this thread.
That is a document with a bit more information and a few pictures to give an idea of what it is all about.
Of course the idea is to pass the collection on to someone who will value and use it as intended as a reference set.
As the two family members who assembled the collection are no longer with us we can only report on what we see.
As always, no tyre kickers, time wasters or ebay collection splitters please.


Fred.

I still have a reasonably large collection of vinyl covering many genres, including classical, among which the best and cleanest recordings are on the Deutsche Grammophon label.

Record catalogue numbers (found on the covers and disc labels) are helpful for searching details.

To be most useful to collectors, such listings should include an assessment of condition of each disc.
