Description
I am not a record expert on grading records nor claim to be. But here is the description: This is a 1949 Signed Edition number 1411 of 5,000 by Norman Granz. This is a Hardbound Cloth Cover. It measures (12 1/2" X 15") and Has a Removable Wire Bound Binding. You can remove pages if needed.
The inside has 6 78 Disc Records anlong with many high quality photographs of the jazz artists of the time.
Names included are: DUKE ELLINGTON, CHARLIE PARKER, LESTER YOUNG, COLEMAN HAWKINS, BILLIE HOLLIDAY, NEIL HEFTI, RALPH BURNS, GEORGE HANDY, WILLIE SMITH, MACHITO AND BUD POWELL. THERE IS ALSO A DRAWING BY DAVID STONE MARTIN, AND AN ESSAY ON EACH PERFORMING ARTIST BY NORMAN GRANZ.
Each Section of the Bound Volume has many pictures of the Artist featured any many more artists in the back of this volume such as: LOUIS ARMSTRONG, ROY ELDRIDGE, ELLA FITZGERALD, GENE KRUPA, TEDDY WILSON, BENNY GOODMAN, STAN KENTON, OSCAR PETTIFORD, MARY LOU WILLIAMS, COUNT BASIE, ART TATUM, SARAH VAUHAN, and DIZZY GILLESPIE.
As far as the condition of the Records they look like they are in very good condition. There is some slight surface wear on some of the records. Probably from the envelope sleeve. There is only one side of one of these records that has some spindle marks as seen in the photo from the Machito disc. Other than this, this item was well taken care of and in very good condition. I have include a sample of what is in this volume in the photos. Condition of the Pages and Cloth cover is very nice. There are no torn or bend pages.
Please email with questions or for further pics. Thanks for looking!
