Real Collector's Items to Get Rid of (16KB)
To the Glenn Gould fans: there are a few Gould records below, but I call
particular attention to Hermann Scherchen. He is as distinctive and
individualistic as any artist *except* Gould and should therefore have
great appeal to Gould lovers.
I am decollecting a great many LP records and books to make room
in my apartment and have already packed many to send to my high
school (Fountain Valley School in Colorado Springs). But I have a
number of collector's items that I'm offering to sell for HALF the
prices below, which I mostly gathered from the _Canfield Guide to
Classical Recordings_. I know a dealer (Irvington Music) that will
pay me 60% of the sales price for discs I leave on consignment,
but I have to pay the postage to ship them to the dealer.
YOU pay the postage; I'll find a box. The book rate does not apply
internationally, and runs:
Canada: $6.95 for the first pound (453 g) and $1.12 for each
additional pound
Mexico and Central America: $7.50 + 1.44
Other Countries: $9 + 1.92
Maximum weight of 44 pounds. These are surface rates; air rates
are ridiculously expensive. If you take some books, there is an
international book rate, which is much cheaper.
The record and book rate domestically is $1.24 first pound, 50
cents each for the next six pounds, and 31 cents per pound
thereafter to the limit of 70 pounds.
I once aimed at getting each Westminster issue and all reissues of
the recordings of the great conductor Hermann Scherchen and
prepared an extensive cross-index, which I will send to anyone who
wants it. But I've decided to forgo this. And there are several
other records that can be valuable to collectors that I almost
certainly won't listen to again and have on tape if I do.
Many of the books will be quite helpful to those still in the
early stages of collecting. I'm to the point where I have my own
firm opinions about the merits of particular recordings and need
only comprehensive discographies. These are the first two books,
which I consult rather frequently and of which I have duplicates.
I use them to help resolve conflicts in other discographies. *NO*
discography is error free, not even those I've made myself.
I'll wait until all the requests are in and decide who gets what.
If you want something very badly, let me know. Don't send any
money. I'll send you the records and let you decide whether the
condition (usually good or better) merits your paying me for them.
Make an offer and I'll accept or not. Don't send any records back
to me, as I may redirect them elsewhere. And add in the postage
which you'll see on the package.
Remember: The records go for HALF the prices below. I'm asking for
the FULL price for the books, since the estimates are more or less
my own, based on the usefulness of the books and how hard they are
to find in used book shops. The zero price means the discs are in
rather bad condition but still playable. All you have to pay is
the postage.
