The Complete Blue Note Recordings of the Tina Brooks Quintets (Mosaic 4-LP box set)
Tina Brooks, whose recording career defined the term neglected, has posthumously received classic Mosaic treatment in this deluxe set, which includes every track that he recorded for BN as a leader. Only one LP of the tenor saxophonist's work was released in his lifetime, so these four LPs are a feast for those who know how underrated his artistry is - and for those who need to know.
Personnel includes, variously: Freddie Hubbard, Blue Mitchell, Lee Morgan (t); Jackie McLean (as); Brooks (ts); Sonny Clark, Duke Jordan (p); Paul Chambers, Wilbur Ware (b); Art Blakey, Philly Joe Jones (d).
Condition: LPs are N–. First disk played twice; second, played once. Disks three and four never played. See detailed grading descriptions for LPs at end of this listing.
Box and cover photo in excellent condition, as is large-format booklet. No bumps to box; spine has clean and clear tooling of the set's title. This was a review copy of the limited edition, so my name appears on inside cover where a number would have been assigned. Robert Palmer liner essay and Roy de Carava shots of Brooks in performance are booklet bonuses.
Shipping: Ebay requires seller to indicate shipping methods and other particulars, then automatically inserts the cost at the top of the listing. Buyer will pay amount as determined by destination and shipping method he chooses. (USPS Media Mail is cheapest; I will provide prices for US Priority, or for FedEx or UPS ground, if requested.)
Insurance is mandatory.
Please wait till I inform you of cost prior to submitting payment. It and not Ebay's stated cost is the amount to be paid. I don't add any charge for handling.
**For winners outside US**: USPS shipping options are International Priority and International Express. Both methods include insurance but only Express has tracking. If you want a different shipper, I will quote you the cost at end of auction.
Packing: I place LPs in protective plastic sleeves, then reinforce the corners with cardboard. I ship in standard LP cardboard mailers. With box sets, I use bubble wrap to protect and cardboard to stabilize the box inside the mailer.
Payment: I accept Paypal. I also accept cash in cases of in-person deliveries.
Returns: Returns will be accepted in cases of error in description.

Note on condition: I grade records visually. Following are the definitions of the grading that I use:
N A record known to be new. This includes factory sealed records.
N- A record that's known or assumed to have been played. May have some surface scuff marks from removing and reinserting record in sleeve. May have slight spindle wear. Otherwise, appears same as N in all respects.
VG++ More handling marks visible than on N-, but should play like a new record.
VG+ No more than a few minor scratches or marks which are audible. Such scratches or other defects will usually be described in specific detail. Record will usually not have any groove wear.
VG More than a few minor audible defects, but no steady noise. No appreciable groove wear.
