Description: We go to estate sales regularly and come across a wide array of unique and rare items. We add to our growing online inventory daily. We pick up new items from all over the world and all over the US. We also have a growing customer wish list. If you'd like to, feel free to add us to your saved seller's list and let us know what you collect and/or need. We’d be honored to add you to our customer wish list.We ask what we consider to be a fair price for anything we sell and understand that our idea of a fair price may be someone else's 'that's too much' price. If that's the case, feel free to make us an offer and will consider it. We also have sales regularly, so check back often.There is always a Sale by TheBay!We purchased a very large classical and jazz album collection from a former DJ for a local Atlanta area radio station back in the 1950s-1970s years ago. We bought the collection for the jazz albums, but never got around to listing the classical albums. Almost every album is a radio station promo album and the are all in exceptional condition with jet black vinyl and look like they could've been pressed yesterday. We've picked up several other classical album collections along the way as well and we will be listing some individually and some in lots. It will take us a while to list them all given that we have about 2,000 of them. As with everything we sell, we offer combined shipping and only charge whatever the quoted rate is based on the total weight for media mail. If classical vinyl is your thing, feel free to add us to your favorite sellers list and check out our inventory as we add more as often as time permits.Now onto the item for sale.For sale is a Radio Station Promo copy of Bruno Walter's Mahler Das Lied Von Der Erde Symphony 9 three LP box set, released by Columbia in 1966.As you know, promotional releases of albums were among the earliest albums pressed and tend to have great sound quality as a result and are far more rare than the official releases.PLEASE NOTE: We do not play test albums, as that would take us a lifetime to do for thousands of albums. We give a visual description and estimated grade of the vinyl. Please see the pictures above for an idea of the condition of the vinyl, labels, sleeves and album cover or box, if a box set. If there are any condition issues, such as scratches, seam splits or other issues, we will indicate that in the description.As you can see, these albums all have jet black vinyl and are very clean. There are only a handful of scratches combined on all six sides of vinyl, but there are several small light marks on the vinyl that we sometimes see on vinyl stored older sleeves. They will almost certainly come off with a proper cleaning, such as an ultrasonic cleaning, but they do not typically affect playback. With the marks on the vinyl, we'd estimate that these albums are in very good plus condition and even better once given a proper cleaning.The labels are very clean with no spindle marks. The album sleeves are in excellent condition with no seam splits.The album box is in great condition as well, but as you can see, there is paper residue from the promo stickers that were peeled off the front at some point. You can also see two white spots leftover from the printout shown in the pictures above that was originally attached to the back of the box.This album set will a bit over 2 pounds and will be shipped in a cardboard album box via media mail with the USPS.Thanks for looking and God bless!
