Description

I got this original Benny Goodman 1938 Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert Set SL 160 LP Vinyl Box Set from an elderly neighbor who passed. 
Originally released in 1950, this 2 LP vinyl record box set is 71 years old.
In the original box set with a cardboard outer protective sleeve (some tears due to age) embossed with 5-6.
Each record is in a special plastic sleeve, which is then slipped into the top entrance of its individual cardboard sleeve that is hinged at the left within the box (see photos). 
This is a very rare method of storing precious vinyl records.Although some the vinyl's sides do have some visible flaws on their surface (see Side 4), they play quite well, although with some pops due to the age of the records.
I've included high res photos for your review. Sale is as is.

JAZZ BLOG

"1. This performance was the first time that jazz—hard-swinging, uncompromising jazz—took the stage in a concert hall, helping to further legitimize the genre as an art form.

2. Benny Goodman was worried the show wouldn’t sell because attendees would have to sit instead of dancing, as they were accustomed to doing at his shows. Ultimately, he was proved wrong when the concert sold out weeks in advance!

3. The performance featured differently sized ensembles including big band and a Dixieland quartet.

4. In addition to Goodman’s own big band, the evening featured members of the Count Basie and Duke Ellington orchestras. The members were featured during a jam session on “Honeysuckle Rose.”

5. Benny Goodman didn’t know the concert was recorded. After the performance, Goodman was given one of two copies of the recording, which he put away in his apartment and forgot about. Years later, the recordings were rediscovered, at which point Goodman had them released as The Famous 1938 Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert. It went on to become one of the best-selling live jazz albums of all time."
