Ginette Neveu
Ginette Neveu was, for 14 years, one of the most promising musicians of the twentieth century, a violin virtuoso who dazzled audiences in her native France with her performances, and listeners around the world with her recordings. She is remembered today for the promise of her few recordings, and the tragedy of her early death in an airplane crash [more from AMG]
I notice the Canberra Theatre is holding a tribute concert for the 60th anniversary of violinist Ginette Neveu's fatal plane crash on return from her recital tour of Australia
Her recordings are quite scarce however we do have several copies of Ginette Neveu playing Sibelius and Suk on Australian World Record Club. Follow this link, or search for Ginette Neveu at www.recordking.com.au

Back after the Easter long weekend and we are busy processing orders and adding a few more classical records to the catalogue.
Just a reminder to Australian customers, our flat rate of $AUD7 still applies. Throughout Australia regardless of the quantity ordered P&H will be $AUD7. As always we accept Paypal, credit card or direct deposit.
Sometime ago we updated the about us page which includes a little about the history of The Record King Bookshop in Wollongong.

Back to Business
After a hectic few weeks clearing out 30 years of record shop, we are finally starting to get organised in our new role as ecommerce folk. We have a nice selection of LPs ready to catalogue on the website and after a number of years we are cautiously taking some auction lists back to Ebay.
Australian World Record Club LPs have always had some following among rock/pop music collectors - mostly for their unique and interesting cover art. The same cannot be said for the classical collectors market where traditionally WRC lps have largely been ignored. There have been a few exceptions, such as the stereo release of Michael Rabin's Mosaics. This week I have listed at auction an early WRC stereo release of Carl Schuricht conducting Bruckner No.8. Also on the website; Bernard Herrmann's Psycho, and Ginette Neveu playing Sibelius Violin Concerto both on WRC.
