Audiophile, Music Lover, and Musician      are apt ways describing this loved person who passed away. His record collection, including classical (in the most broad sense), opera, some jazz and popular, was meticulously cared for. The best turntables, styluses, and speakers were always used and brought current, as necessary. The records received attention (they were cleaned prior to and after each playing) that I thought was overdoing it at the time…now I know better, they were kept in beautiful shape…for their next owner, too.

Unless noted in the auction’s details, all records and covers are near mint (NM). I trust that you will be pleased if you purchase from the collection.  

I hope you will look (and return often) to see what other records are being offered.
