O.K. Collectors......from one of the VERY few real (read: vinyl ONLY) record stores left (established 1980 so rest assured you're not dealing with a wannabe) here's a bevy of the real sound of vinyl for perusal for your edification and enjoyment.    Besides autographs, I have over 60000 pieces in stock so if you're looking for anything in particular let me know.  Any questions???  Feel free to call my store American Pie Records in Ventura, Calif.  (805-477-0083).  The store for those who know and appreciate the difference of vinyl.  Thanx for looking and good luck!!!

This will take awhile to list and read but I hope, no.....I KNOW you'll find it's worth our time.....Offered for your audio edification and enjoyment is the comPLETE Franklin Mint 25 Lp 100 sides Greatest Jazz Recordings Of All Time Box set (circa '87???).  This was included in a VERY nice jazz collection I just acquired.  SOLID NM/VG+ condition for both LPs in protective sleeves and covers at the VERY least on this 180 gram deep red/brown color set (sampled). This set contains 25 boxes with 4 LPs in each box (100 LPs in all) and, fwiw, IF Vols 1.6.8,9,11,13,16, 18, 19,20, 24 and 25 had the small inserts that the rest of them have, they're not in there (truth in advertising and all that).  Also...be advised that while most are the artists listed, SOME of them are samplings of the time period artists, by, of course, the original artists.  MORE good news....Evidently there are some previously unreleased cuts on here. Any specific questions, feel free to call or write.

That's it...I've now spent 4 and a half hours on this listing.  Except for one thing.....somewhere around Vol 5, Franklin Mint offered the cabinet to go with the entire set (the insert offer is inside one of the box sets, fwiw) there.  And this set sets in it (pictured).  I'll include it for free to the winning bidder, but he/she pays for the shipping which of COURSE will be WAAAAY more than the $4.00 Ebay makes you put for shipping charges (A VERY stupid policy since anybody with a quarter of a brain knows will be more than $4.00, but after typing this long I'm entitled to complain (LOL).  But I digress...the cabinet has some minor scratches on the top, so I'd say VG easily overall condition wise, fwiw.         

Pictured as best I can.  Remember I'm a record dealer, not a photographer (LOL).   Titles on request .

NO PAYPAL!!!!  Payment only through my store via MC and Visa according to e-bay policy at 805-477-0083.  Free shipping only in U.S. Insurance is always recommended, but that's up to you.

VERY hard to find and a very nice piece!!!!

Remember to make an OFFER, not an insult.   I've been around long enough to not suffer fools and I'm auctioning these off to make room for more as I'm working on purchasing on a store just like mine, one of seven in California specializing in, but not limited to, the real music of the 50's and 60's.  If in the area, stop by.  Off the beaten path, but well worth the effort!!!!!!

Good luck and good listening!!!!
