Description
Absolutely gorgeous copy of the 4 x 78rpm collection, Tenor Sax, on Savoy S-500. Includes four 78s by four swing and bop-era sax greats: Ben Webster, Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins, and Don Byas. Each of the discs was also issued separately, and each separately sells today for about 20-30 depending on the condition. These are all four pretty much perfectly mint, or very nearly so. I don't see a single mark and they play just beautifully. These are absurdly beautiful copies. The cover has some wear, with the usual corner wear, and a little water staining at the bottom, but not bad. The spine is perfectly intact and it looks just beautiful. This is an absolutely stunning top set of these classic records. Included are:
Ben Webster - Honeysuckle Rose / Blue Skies
Don Byas - What Do You Want with My Heart / Don's Idea
Lester Young - I Don't Stand a Ghost of a Chance / Lester's Savoy Jump
Coleman Hawkins - On the Sunny Side of the Street / Stompin' at the Savoy
