The Royal Ballet LP's - Vinyl Collector's Treasure

I picked up not one but two Vintage box sets of these uber rare collections of Swan lake performances from the 60's. The sets have the most amazing books with them. The print quality is awesome and includes fly sheets with full song list and credits.
This is a magnificent (2 LP) album, that should be in every record collection. In effect, it is the "highlights" of all the most famous Romantic ballets in a leather bound spine with a canvass cover. Exceptional!!!
The sound is exceptional in every way, and particularly outstanding in outer detail and dynamic qualities. The sound is also BIG, and the instruments actually seem as large as they are in real life.
A rare, original pressing of this album sold on eBay last month for $1,000

I guess a phenomenal catch!!!

  1. I still have my original pressings of the Royal Ballet/Gala Performance, purchased in 1971. I may soon be looking for a sincere vinyl collector that is willing to provide a caring home for this wonderful rare gem. The vinyl discs are in excellent condition because of careful maintenance for all these years. The packaging and all enclosures are in Very Good shape as well. The owner, however, is deteriorating, and must begin looking for new homes for his vinyl treasures.

  2. Very good - Please post your contact info to discuss your offering. Also is your pressing a US or Canadian and is it Stereo or Mono version. This matters a great deal when determining a price. Thanks for your post!
