$

229

PLEASE NOTE: This auction is for one of a number of rare Charlie Parker original 78 rpm recordings I will be offering on eBay. The highlights include a number of high-numbered Dials, including the rarest of them all Dial 1056, as well as both Dial Be-Bop Jazz albums, Dial D-1 and D-2, the first of which has been autographed by DIZZY GILLESPIE!!

On offer in this auction is the 10" 78 rpm 3-record album set "Dial Album D-1" entitled "1947 Be-bop Jazz: With All The Stars of the New Movement", and inside the front cover it is autographed by Dizzy Gillespie in black ballpoint ink and dated '1989'. This is the rare first issue of the set with corrugated cardboard album covers and the record labels without the 'Album D-1 designation' on them. The album consisted of the records Dial 1006, 1007, and 1008 with performances by Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Howard McGhee, Sonny Berman, Serge Chaloff, etc. Please look at the scans for the actual titles of the sides. Cover art is by Wally Berman.

The records are overall in nice excellent (EX) condition with clean labels, and shiny surfaces with only light marks/scuffs, but no scratches. The album itself is nice and clean but the spine does have some separation with the top and bottom of the spine being torn about an inch each way, but there is importantly NO loss of material, and it could be repaired if desired. Please examine the supersized scans of the labels I have provided. I encourage interested parties to ask any questions if desired. In addition, I have available scans of the full sides of every record disc/s so you can examine the record's surfaces.

In summary, a rare first edition of this set with the correct records, autographed by Dizzy Gillespie!

PLEASE DO NOT SEND PAYMENT UNTIL YOU RECEIVE MY INVOICE!! If you win more than one record I will only combine shipping if you wait for me to send you a combined invoice. Shipping will be by Canada Post Expedited or XpressPost Service. Both are reasonably inexpensive, extremely safe, reliable, and trackable. Insurance is approximately $1.00 per $100.00 value to the United States, and is slightly more worldwide. Please understand that the listed shipping charges are only approximate, as the record/records has not been packed up as of yet. In addition, the cost is geographically dependent. If you wish, please ask and I can determine a more specific shipping cost. Finally, if the shipping charge paid is more than listed on my invoice, I will be more than happy to refund the difference. Payment is by PayPal, but I will accept other forms of payment if desired. Please e-mail me as to what other payment methods I accept.
