Description from the seller
Collection of 16 vintage vinyl records from the 1950s and 1960s, combining a complete Reader’s Digest Background Moods boxed collection with six individual European LPs featuring Italian, Viennese and Spanish music.
Reader’s Digest – Background Moods – 1965
Vintage boxed collection released by Reader’s Digest in 1965, comprising 10 vinyl records featuring a wide variety of orchestral, jazz, blues, Latin, dance and popular music arranged around different moods and atmospheres.
The collection includes selections from:
• In a Moonlight Mood
• In a Haunting Mood
• In a Bewitching Mood
• In a Blues Mood
• In an Intimate Mood
• In a Romantic Mood
• In a Swinging Mood
• In a Latin Mood
• In a Dancing Mood
• In a Festive Mood
• In a Starlight Mood and more
The records remain in their original inner sleeves. The vinyl appears to be in very good vintage condition but has not been tested. The original outer presentation box shows visible age-related wear but remains functional and holds the collection securely.

The lot also includes six vintage records representing Italian, Austrian and Spanish musical traditions of the 1950s.
1. Tony Romano – Love Songs Italiane (1954)

2. Escale à Rome (1955)

Parlophone Records, PMD 1048. A collection of traditional Viennese melodies with zither accompaniment by Anton Karas, including Wien, Wien, nur du allein and Radetzky-Marsch.
4. Sara Montiel – La Violetera (1958)

6. Luciano Tajoli at San Remo (1950s)
Parlophone Odeon Records, CPMB 1. Featuring Luciano Tajoli performing songs associated with the Sanremo Music Festival, including Aprite Le Finestre and Due Teste Sul Cuscino.
These six records are vintage 10-inch Long Play records, a format characteristic of the early LP era and increasingly collectible today.
Condition
The six European records are in good vintage condition. The vinyl shows signs of previous use but no significant scratches were observed. The sleeves and covers show age-related wear consistent with records dating from the 1950s.
The Reader’s Digest records appear to be in very good condition and remain in their original inner sleeves but are untested. The outer box shows visible wear from age and storage.
Please examine the photographs carefully for the exact condition of the records, sleeves, covers and box.
An attractive collection spanning the 1950s and 1960s, with Italian, Spanish and Viennese vocal music alongside the diverse orchestral and popular arrangements of Reader’s Digest Background Moods.
Carefully packaged and shipped with tracking.
