This is a 6 LP boxed set from Connecticut State College (Now Connecticut State University). It is entitled Music One Introduction to Music. It is custom pressed for CCSC by Columbia Special Products. The set contains an nice introduction to classic music performed by some of the leading Orchestras and Conductors. This is a rare set which was presumably part of the course materials for their introduction to music class. I know little about this set as there is no book or booklet. Records 1 through 6 are here, I do not know if there were originally more records in the set. The records are NM- with an occasional light paper scuff. The cover is VG, it holds its shape although the tape which served as a hinge is torn and 2 corners of the box top are split. There is also some smooshing to the cover.
