Description

ATTENTION OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS: The US Postal Service has increased overseas shipping. Please contact us for shipping amount BEFORE bidding. Thank you.
  We are offering for sale an original pressing of "The 25-Year Retrospective Concert Of The Music Of John Cage" 3xLP box set. This was released in 1959 with no record company information other than the catalog numbers on the labels (KO8Y-1499 thru KO8Y-1504). 

• We are play grading the vinyl at a very solid VG+.  All six labels are in beautiful shape with no marks or tears. 

•  Includes its original 18-page booklet in very good condition with no tears and just some minor discoloration. It also includes the original inserts (6 folded pages or 12 pages in total)  which illustrate portions of the score with text explanations, also in very good condition (see photo).

•  The box is in very good shape for its age but it does have some blotches on the front, some noticeable wear on the corners and one tear on the lip edge of one side. We will include a new poly outer sleeve to protect the box for years to come.
