The Sound of Harlem Jazz Odyssey Volume III VG++ Vinyl 3 LP Box - Columbia C3L 33 White Label Promo 1st Pressing with Book
Condition: VG++ (EX) Cover. Vinyl was play-tested on all sides and plays really well. Cover and original inner sleeve are in excellent shape. (Some tracks have occasional noise, as they may have been sourced from 78 rpm records. But vinyl is clean.) Includes 40 page book with pictures and stories, including a few pages about famous Harlem jazz clubs. A couple of pages near the back have light pencil check marks. The box is fully functional with only one split corner. It closes well. I replaced the inner sleeves with anti-static sleeves, and also include the original plastic bags that shipped with the set.
Jazz Odyssey, Vol. 3: The Sound of Harlem AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow The third of three-LP box sets released by Columbia in the early '60s in their Jazz Odyssey series, as with the New Orleans and Chicago samplers, contains some common selections but quite a few rarities among its 48 performances. In addition to such major names as Mamie Smith (her pioneering 1920 recording of "Crazy Blues"), James P. Johnson, Fletcher Henderson, Louis Armstrong, Ethel Waters, Fats Waller, Cab Calloway and Billie Holiday, there are numbers from Edith Wilson, Thomas Morris, Leroy Tibbs, Mattie Hite, Lena Wilson, Buck and Bubbles and The Hokum Trio. Most of the first two LPs stick to the 1920s and early '30s while the last one goes up to Cootie Williams's 1942 recording of "Epistrophy." Highly recommended although this set will be very difficult to find.

I use the Goldmine Grading System, and play-test all records. I note any differences between vinyl and cover, and make note of any inserts, special sleeves, or potential defects.

MINT (M) - Absolutely perfect in every way. Most often this is a still sealed record, records that have been opened are rarely if ever marked as Mint.

NEAR MINT (NM) - A good description is that it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time. In other words, it?s nearly perfect, with no visible defects. 

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) - Except for a couple minor things, this could be Near Mint. Most collectors will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if on the high end (VG++). VG+ records may show slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Covers should have only minor wear. 

VERY GOOD (VG) - VG records are among the biggest bargains, and for many, will be worth the money. They can lack the original gloss, may have surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages. But the noise will not overpower the music. VG covers will have signs of handling, and may have minor splits. 

GOOD PLUS (G+) - Good+ does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, but it has significant surface noise and groove wear. Cover may have significant ring wear, noticeable writing, or obvious damage.

GOOD (G) - Record may have some skipping, but is otherwise listenable. I generally avoid selling Good (G) rated records unless they are highly collectible or desirable, in order to enjoy until something better comes along. Cover has major wear or seam splits that need repair, or heavy writing like radio station call letters to prevent theft.
