Description
Long Out-of-Print, I believe this is to be a fair opening bid. No Reserve.
Limited Edition 4-LP boxed set: The Complete Candid Recordings of Charles Mingus: Mosaic MR4-111 [Limited Edition #5983 of 7500 / pressed on very good, solid vinyl / USA]. (Condition: records are near mint; box is VG++ w/ no splits; the invaluable booklet is in excellent shape w/ no tears, ceases or extraneous writing.) ||| Out of a storied and very busy recording career, many critics and other savvy listeners have ranked these small group Candid sessions at the top, or certainly near the top, of Mingus’ output. Undoubtedly the exquisite presence of Eric Dolphy contributes to this broad agreement. Mingus was always exploring how freedom for the soloist could lead to extraordinary compositional execution and Dolphy was the perfect jazzman in this respect. Also featuring other fine musicians like original trumpet stylists Ted Curson & Lonnie Hillyer; tenor titan Booker Ervin; long-time Mingus associates Dannie Richmond (a vastly underrated rhythm machine) and Jimmy Knepper (a truly unique trombone voice). Other major participants include Tommy Flanagan, Roy Eldridge, Charles McPherson, Papa Jo Jones and others. /\ Recorded in 1960 and featuring five tracks that were previously unissued before this set. Original sessions were released on Candid as Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus (9005); Mingus (9021); Newport Rebels – The Jazz Artists Guild (9022) and The Jazz Life (9019). The Candid label itself is an interesting story, created out of a perceived need for artistic integrity and political expression. || Some compositions include: Folk Forms, No.1 / Original Faubus Fables / What Love / All The Things You Could Be By Now If Sigmund Freud’s Wife Was Your Mother / Mysterious Blues / R & R / Reincarnation of a Lovebird / Lock’em Up / Body & Soul. || Like many great composer/arrangers, Mingus seemed to never tire of certain themes – be they borrowed or of his own invention. Although often artistically distilled, several ditties are traceable back through Ming’s career. [RE: DK]. || Notes on mailing and mailing charges are in the following paragraphs. ||

Notes on mailing: I can send this item to anywhere in the U.S. via Media Mail (w/ Delivery confirmation) for $4.50. /\ U.S. Priority Mail is now Zone Rated, meaning that distance is considered in rates. eBay provides a line in the auction-end ‘user form’ for the winner’s Zip Code (or mailing Country). Be sure to provide your Zip Code (or Country) in this line in order to save time in communications. /\ Both U.S. Priority charges and International Rates will be quoted after I get the package’s country of destination. Please keep in mind that the package will weigh approximately 2 Lbs. Thanks, Berigan
*** NOTICE ON MAILING: I feel that my eBay rating & feedback assures buyers that I am a responsible seller (& buyer). One who follows through on deals and that goes out of his way to be fair in the rare case of dispute. Yet to buyers new to my operation, here goes:1.) I only use USPS.
2.) I guarantee that packages will be correctly addressed and safely packed. (That’s why I ask buyers to respond via email with their mailing address. I cut it out and tape it to the address label.)
3.) I will take NO Responsibility for LOSS of UNINSURED packages. I’ll say it another way, no refunds on lost packages, if they are not insured.
4.) I know that this can be a hardship, especially for International Buyers due to the prohibitive expense of mailing & insuring Parcel Post, which is the only way insured packages can be sent outside of the USA. Insurance is not available for the cheaper Letter-Post delivery. Yet keep in mind that out of about 1500 items that we’ve mailed throughout the world, only a mere handful (perhaps 6 or 7) has not been delivered. So the odds are extremely good that International Packages will arrive safely. But the buyer (domestic or international) is the one who takes the chance.
5.) This goes for domestic items too: no refunds on undelivered, uninsured packages. As to insured domestic packages: it is the responsibility of the buyer to collect insurance on these items. I will provide all appropriate sales documentation; and if necessary, the proper postal forms to the buyer.
Not to put too fine of a point on it -- but if you don’t feel that you can live with the above caveats -- don’t bid on my items. If you are interested in even more information, I deal with this morbid subject in even greater, excruciating detail on my Website (see above link). Thanks for your time. Regards, Berigan
