***ONLY INCLUDES DUKE ELLINGTON & COLEMAN HAWKINS RECORDS*** The 2 discs have some surface marks and the odd small deeper hairline mark – conservatively graded at VG. 2/4 labels have partial stickers that have yet to be removed. Housed in generic black outers.
Notes:
• 78-rpm album-folio with a sturdy cloth cover, built like a loose leaf notebook so that the contents may be removed if desired.
• Six 12-inch “vinylite” records (not shellac… these are “unbreakable”). Each record is in an envelope protected by an envelope-flap on top.
• Limited, hand-numbered edition of 5,000.
• Hand-signed/numbered by Norman Granz on title page.
Five Thousand Copies have been made under the supervision of Norman Granz
