Columbia D3S818 - Leonard Bernstein NY Philharmonic "World's Favorite Overtures"

"The overture has a long and honorable history that stretches from the earliest days of opera to the Broadway musicals of our time." Here's a set of 3 LP's of the "World's Favorite Overtures" conducted by Leonard Bernstein and The New York Philharmonic Orchestra.

The records show only minimal and light scratching for an audio sound purists say rivals a CD! Clean and glossy! And, the box shows only a trace of wear around the edges and corners. Exceptionally clean as well! One of the sleeves is a Capitol Records substitute and the printed sheet on the box back is partially detached.
