Description
I am now selling about 90 pct of my collection of 78', LP's, rare books and magazines over the next few months, after 40 years of collecting blues and jazz-records. I have always bought the best copies available of the records/books/magazines in question. And here they are. Other dealers would say mint about many of my items.Well..... I do not use mint few things in this world are perfect. I am very conservative when I grade and I use the grade E+ when the record/book/magazine looks perfect. And now Pete Whelan's magazine: 78 Quarterly, a mag devoted to Blues, Sacred and Jazz music. No: 1 + 2 (one vol.), 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. 6 vols. I'll list 78 Quarterly No.8 and up, later on. This set is A VERY FINE SET of these very important blues mags. The Silver Anniversary Reissue ( No. 1 & 2) is out of production, completely sold out!! No.3 to No.7 are first editions!! More than 600 pages with: reviews, letters, the rarest 78's!!, the fascinating stories about famous bluesmen/women such as King Solomon Hill, Charley Patton, Lizzie Miles, Ma Rainey, Tommy Johnson, Skip James, Robert Johnson ( No.4 with the famous Robert Crumb cover, picturing R.Johnson, and in this mag the story about Robert Johnson incl. UNPUBLISHED photos of R.J.) etc.etc. "Storytellers" and contributors: Bill Givens, John Tefteller, Bob Hilbert, Bernard Klatzko, Steve LaVere, Joe Bussard, Don Kent, Nick Perls, Henry Renard, Russ Shor, Doug Seroff, Helge Thygesen, Dick Spottswood, Pete Whelan, Sherman Tolen, Tom Tsotsi, Gayle Dean Wardlow, Stephen Calt, Richard Nevins, Terry Zwigoff , Francis Smith a.o.........the stories about the race labels: the famous Paramount label in 5 parts (No.3 to No.7) complete!!, the Gennett - Champion labels in 4 parts (complete!!), the Herwin and the Black Patti labels a.o............plus John Steiner interview, more Crumb art, and hundreds of photos of very rare record labels and adverts from the twenties and thirties, and much more...............This set of 78 Quarterly is furthermore one of the finest sets, extant. 78 Quarterly is printed in Florida (humid climate), it is therefore difficult to obtain clean mags without rusty staples and some paper loss on the covers. This set is the finest set that I have ever seen, fine tight magazines with white pages, some of the mags have never been read!! (I have 2 to 3 copies of each No.), a few of the mags are a bit rusty on the staples and 1 mag has some very tiny paperloss on the back cover. All the mags are, AT LEAST, in a stunning E condition!! A VERY FINE SET, AS NEW!! CONDITION GUARANTEED!! Very low starting price!! No reserve. Sold as is. No returns. No checks. Insurance offered.
