Description
78 RPM 4 Record Box Set
Billie Holiday
Mercury Records 89002 - 89005
Box: NM
Vinyl: E-
See Description Below for Grading Details
This is the Mercury Records release of a 78 RPM box set by Billie Holiday.
The Box is in NM condition. All the box corners are solid and square. The artwork on front is in excellent condition with just some barely visible soiling. The inside artwork and sleeves are also in excellent condition, no tears, writing or creases.
The Disks are all in E- condition. There’s some minor scuffing and light scratches but overall they are relatively clean with very little groove wear (8 out of 10). The outside edge on all of them has some chipping but there isn’t any that extends to the playing surface.
I have several other 78 rpm jazz box sets listed. Please take a moment to check them out. I will always combine listings to save on shipping costs.
ALSO LISTED THIS WEEK

Please save me on your Favorite Sellers list and check my listings weekly. Thanks again to everyone who has purchased from me in the past!
