TINA BROOKS Complete Blue Note Recordings 4X-LPS
ATTN: THIS IS FOR RECORDS ONLY FROM THIS BOX SET. NO BOX OR BOOKLET.
The remains of this box set were included as part of an excellent jazz collection. Unfortunately, one of the storage boxes was damaged by water. Most of the box contained many 'learn-to-play' records of various jazz greats (we suspect the prior owner was an accomplished musician) but it also included two Mosaic box sets of Clifford Brown and Tina Brooks. The Clifford Brown box was damaged and rotted beyond salvage (records are mint and will be listed as well). The Tina Brooks box was also very badly damaged but I was able to open the enclosed booklet enough to determine is was a numbered (3445), limited edition set (see photos). Fortunately, the Bud Powell box set was in another storage box and it was unharmed (NM).
The records from this set all appear unplayed and are near mint condition. The original plain paper sleeves are gone but each has been placed in a poly-inner sleeve for protection.
As shown in the pictures, the booklet is in very rough condition and is rotted/moldy. It is in a sealed poly-sleeve and I am willing to include it in the purchase but only if specifically requested at time of purchase.
Used or preowned. Untested. See photos for details. (If inserts or inner sleeves are included, they will generally be pictured. Most of the time I don't have a way to determine what the original inner sleeve is supposed to be, so please check pics closely if this is important to you.) Speaking of inner sleeves in general, the thin paper sleeves used by many record companies for vintage records are almost always split to some degree. I don't grade these and pics may not always show. Please ask if you have questions regarding condition of a particular inner.
Generally shipped via USPS Media Mail.
Check out my other listings. When possible, I'm happy to combine shipping on multiple purchases. Please message me and I can either send a consolidated invoice or refund some shipping fees if already paid (often depends on your eBay options).
GRADING - (Media/Cover) All grading is by visual inspection. Media is not tested. Grading is obviously subjective, but I do my best to be conservative in grading against the following criteria:
Media
- Mint (M) Immaculate - Used for new sealed items only
- Near Mint (NM) Perfect
- Excellent (EX) Minor issue, not quite NM
- Very Good Plus (VG+) Light scratches, scuffs, old finger prints, micro-warp
- Very Good (VG) Faded, Visible small scratches, slight warps
- Good (G) Faded, Moderate scratches (some detectable with fingernail) moderate warps
- Fair (F) Heavily scratched (several detectable with fingernail) and or significant warp. Might play ok, but noticeable static, popping, skipping to be expected. More listenable in some genres than others.
- Poor (P) Heavy scratches, chips and/or significant warp. (If I list one in poor condition it would be something special or the accompanying sleeve is in decent condition. Most in Poor condition end up in the trash....)
- (M) Immaculate (Never seen one in vinyl, CD occasionally)
- (NM) Perfect
- (EX) Minor issue, not quite NM
- (VG+) Minor Wear
- (VG) Average Wear For Age of Album. Might include clearly visible shelf wear, corner damage, partial splits
- (G) Heavy Wear. Generally looks good from the front, but sides may be damaged with splits, tears,
- (F) Damaged and/or heavily worn. May have some torn paper on front or back and/or tears on the sides.
- (P) Deteriorated and/or significantly damaged, major tears on the front or back. I generally avoid these but on occasion I come across a great album with good vinyl that just has a terrible cover.
