Description

 Artist / Info:  Miles Davis and Gil Evans       Complete Columbia Studio Recordings      Mosaic MQ11-164       Original 11 disc mosaic box set with original booklet!  Low number issue, #0859 of 5000.  Booklet included in EX condition!

Record: All of the 11 discs are in EX+ condition, basically free of any visual wear.  All discs retain a lot of gloss!  Disc 8 has a few light hairline marks and would probably grade VG++ but still very nice!  Disc 7 has one visual blemish but I believe this was done at the time of pressing, this is not damage to the lp. 

Cover:  See photos.  Box has damage to the spine and was taped using a clear packing tape.  This is unfortunate but has happened and cannot be removed.  Front image looks nice, back has no wear.  All other seams are nice and the corners are still sharp!  Original booklet included!

Labels: All are perfect, no writing or spindle marks on any of them.


I am an avid record collector and care for my albums meticulously.  I maintain high standards as a buyer and a seller.  I guarantee all my auctions are truthful and accurate, if you are not satisfied with your purchase an agreement will be reached or return the item for a full refund.  If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.  Thank you and good luck!


Grading scale:


  • Near Mint (NM or M-) 

    The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.

    An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like.


       EX:  Better than VG++ but not quite Mint Minus.  Will be extremely clean with only a couple very, very light marks which will not effect play.


       VG++  Stronger than VG+.  A very clean album that may have some very light surface wear.  Will play with the occasional light tick but never louder than the music itself, a very enjoyable listening experience. 


  • Very Good Plus (VG+)  

    A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.

    Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK".

    The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play.

    Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.



  • Very Good (VG)  Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.

    Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.



  • Good (G), Good Plus (G+)  A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white).

    A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
