Lot 675: A Collection of Vintage Musical Recording Boxed Sets and Albums

A collection of vintage musical recordings presented in various boxed sets and multi-disc albums, primarily focusing on classical opera and mid-century popular music. The group includes a blue cloth-bound album for Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci, issued by Columbia Records as an electric recording featuring the principals and chorus of the British National Opera Company. Also present is a second, black cloth-bound boxed set of Pagliacci with gold-tone lettering to the spine. Popular music is represented by a Herb Alpert multi-LP slipcase set, marked with the reference SM 161/166, and a Saturday Night Concert album titled De La Musique Legere. The collection further contains two Reader’s Digest boxed sets: one titled Pomp & Ceremony in a burgundy textured finish with gilt lettering, and another in black and grey with a partially obscured title. The items are constructed from heavy card, cloth, and paper. Internal contents, including the presence, completeness, or condition of the original vinyl or shellac records and accompanying booklets, have not been verified.
