A collection of music compact discs housed in approximately twenty-three matching ring-binder style albums. The albums are organised alphabetically, comprising a lower shelf of ten burgundy marbled-pattern binders labelled A through J, and an upper shelf containing thirteen binders including burgundy examples labelled L through S and black examples labelled U through X. Each album spine features a single yellow adhesive sans-serif letter. The discs are stored within multi-pocket plastic sleeves, with each internal page typically accommodating four discs.
The collection focuses on classical, early music, and world folk music. Visible labels include Tumi Music with titles such as Rumillajta – Pachamama (TUMI CD003) and City of Stone (TUMI CD001), K’jarkas – Canto a la mujer de mi pueblo (TUMI CD010), and Inti Raymi (TUMI CD009). The assortment also includes several Chandos releases featuring The Bekova Sisters and the BBC Philharmonic conducted by Richard Hickox, two Harmonia Mundi discs of Biber Violin Sonatas performed by Romanesca, and a Sony Classical disc titled John Williams – The Magic Box. A Gidon Kremer disc titled Hommage à Piazzolla is also present. The lot comprises the albums and discs as described; the shelving unit and other background items shown in the images are not included.
Condition report:
The collection appears to be in good overall condition. The album binders show some shelf wear, with rubbing and minor scuffing visible to the spines and edges (photo 1). The plastic internal sleeves show light signs of handling but remain intact. The discs themselves appear generally well-maintained within their sleeves, though the storage format means that original case artwork and liner notes are not visible. No significant scratches or damage were observed to the surfaces of the visible discs (photos 3-5).
