Wagner – Der Ring Des Nibelungen – DECCA 19 LP Set – D 100D1 9

Description

Condition: NM / VG+

The vinyl itself looks unplayed and has a lovely sheen and no signs of wear. The box shows a little wear, especially on one corner, but still overall in great condition.

I believe this to be an early 1980’s edition. Each box has a George Solti Discography included which seems to be dated 1981.
