Description
Here's a nice copy of a very hard to find box set released by MPS in 1978 titled "A Critic's Choice of Great Jazz Recordings" to commemorate the record company's tenth anniversary. It includes 8 classic jazz LPs, as well as all three original inserts. Most of the vinyl looks to be in near mint, possibly unplayed condition. The records were pressed in the Netherlands.
Here's the titles included:
Stephane Garelli, Stuff Smith, Svend Asnussen, and Jean-Luc Ponty - Violin Summit - 064-61227
Oscar Peterson - Tracks - 064-99450
Clarke-Boland Big Band with Eddie Lockjaw Davis - Sax No End - 064-61223
Joe Pass - Intercontinental - 064-99419
Freddie Hubbard - The Hub of Hubbard - 064-61224
The Singers Unlimited - A Capella - 064-61282
Martial Solal - Nothing But Piano - 064-60187
Count Basie - High Voltage - 064-99436
Monty Alexander - We've Only Just Begun - 064-61225
George Russell - At Beethoven Hall, vol. 1 - 064-61226
Condition: The box has a very small punch hole near the top, and shows some other light signs of wear, so it grades at VG+. The jackets on the albums are generally clean, but they each also have one very small punch hole through through each jackt top, and a couple show other light signs of wear, so they grade at NM--. The records all look extremely clean, most look unplayed, so they grade at NM.
Regarding shipping - I use new high quality materials and pack carefully.
Regarding grading - I try to grade by Goldmine standards. I do not use the grade mint on records that have been unsealed.
