Description
Title: The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Albert Ammons and Meade Lux Lewis Number MD3-103 Format:
3 lps Edition: 4,368 out of 5,000.
Booklet Condition: Excellent. No marks or curls
LP Condition: Overall, the vinyl is very clean. Side II has an imperfection on the empty band before music starts. I suspect this is how it came. Side 6 has some discolorization (record color changes from grey black to black--but there are no scratches and vinyl looks new. To know this, you need to hold the record under a halogen lamp--that is how I inspect the CDs and LPs for imperfections. If I played this, it was once and I haven't had a turntable in years. The person who owned it before me didn't play it more than a few times based on appearance.
Box Condition: No dents, binding on the side (hinge part of the box) is largely intact, but there is some fraying ( a good three to four inches in the center). The bottom edge is showing some wear on the crease and it looks like a little of the tape has come off. The box is definitely the weakest part of the set, but it is acceptable. See photos for a good view of condition.
Provenance: Purchased on ebay around 1999 or 2000.
Reason for Sale: Change of hobbies.
Shipping Override: Shipping rates are for shipping within the 48 continental U.S. states and the District of Columbia. The $15 for U.S. priority mail is based on past experience with Mosaic sets and includes insurance. Those purchasing outside the continental U.S. will need to make payment for the actual postage. I will calculate the price based on your location and add it to the invoice. My recent experience for shipments to Europe is about $37.25 International Priority Mail (6 to 10 day delivery). You also will have to pay for insurance, which is more costly than shipping within the United States.
Shipping Container. I bubble wrap the set, and have been placing it in a 14 by 14 by 6 cardboard container, with crumpled newspaper to cushion the bubble-wrapped set. Container size may change, depending on availability, but this size seems to work nicely.
Risk of Loss: I bear risk of loss if package is lost or destroyed in transit. In case of loss in transit, you don’t pay, but I don’t have to find a replacement set. In other words, auction is null and void.
