Description

Welcome. On offer is an absolutely beautiful copy of the famous "The Complete Riverside Recordings" 18 LP box set (Riverside R-018) that gathers everything BE laid down on tape for this sadly now defunct label. I believe it came out around 1987 and I've owned it since '00 or '01. I never actually played it or opened it. It's amazing that this set has lasted through the years in such great condition.
I just inspected each LP with a careful eye. All the vinyl has a wondrous gleam and the labels show no spindle marks at all. To my amateur eye I'd say they are all unplayed. I'm listening to side 2 now and it sounds terrific. No pops or scratches or vinyl noise, at least on my VPI Classic Signature turntable. Book looks pristine/unread.
I respect that the person buying a set like this is a serious vinyl hound like me so I will call out the following nit picky items:
Side 8, track 1, "Autumn Leaves (mono)" has a small pressing defect that pops exactly six times. Noticeable but hot horrible.
Side 9 has a superficial inaudible "sleeve scuff."
One of the corners of one of the boxes shows some wear. 
The spine of the outer box has a band of slightly lighter red running down it.
Please study the photos carefully to assess the condition of the box itself. I'd rate it as EX+.
This is a really nice copy. I don't know how you could do much better. 
This is a very heavy set so expect higher than normal insured UPS shipping rates (in the US). It will be packed securely in a sturdy 275lb-rated double walled box.
Thank you for reading and good luck bidding.
