Some old vinyls!

Hi everybody!

In these days I am making some selection in my inherited records collection. My father had many excellent discs... but sometimes he was "overcollecting", gathering double copies of his favourite LPs. To save space and cash some money, I am getting rid of those I am not interested in or which are doubles. I will list them here in case someone is interested. Bear in mind that some of them are old and they would certainly benefit some washing (me, I'm just wiping the dust with a carbon fiber brush for now).

Here are the first titles:

Lionel Hampton - S/T - Fontana (just 4 tracks but EXCELLENT sound quality and performance)
Count Basie - Super Chief - CBS John Hammond Collection (1972) (2 LP) (good condition)
Charlie Christian - Solo Flight - CBS John Hammond Collection (1972) (2 LP) (OK condition)
Frank Sinatra - The Best Of 3 - Capitol Emi (good condition)
Frank Sinatra - The Best Of 4 - Capitol Emi (good condition)
Frank Sinatra - Sings Rodgers and Hart - Emi (1975) (good condition)
Frank Sinatra and His Greatest Hits - Reprise (1975)
Nelson Riddle - The Great Gatsby soundtrack - Paramount (1974)
Peggy Lee and Ella Fitzgerald - Pete Kelly's Blues - Decca (circa 1955) (ok condition)

In the next days I will post more... In case you are interested and live in Europe, drop me a line!
