Description

Miles Davis Chronicle: The Complete Prestige Recordings (P-012) 12-LP album with 24-page booklet.


Released in 1980.


Miles Davis with (variously): Billy Bauer; Walter Bishop, Jr; Art Blakey; Ray Bryant; Paul Chambers; Kenny Clarke; Al Cohn; John Coltrane; Arnold Fishkin; Tommy Flanagan; Red Garland; Leonard Gaskin; Benny Green; Roy Haynes; Percy Heath; Milt Jackson; J. J. Johnson; Philly Joe Jones; Lee Konitz; John Lewis; Jackie McLean ; Charles Mingus; Thelonious Monk; Sal Mosca; Charlie Parker; Oscar Pettiford; Max Roach; Sonny Rollins; Davey Schildkraut; Horace Silver; Zoot Sims; Art Taylor; Lucky Thompson; and Sonny Truitt.


Issue: The original limited, numbered edition. Ten thousand of this first release were pressed. Mine is number 4336.

Condition: NM. Eleven of the twelve LPs are NM, none played more than twice; no spindle wear on any of them. On LP 6, second side, however, one track ("Swing Spring") has a blemish. After a VPI cleaning, it remains. Some of the track plays with a slight clicking sound. I apologize in advance for it.
All LPs have their original quality plastic sleeves: see-through on one side, opaque on the other.
As can be seen in the photos, the album housing the twelve LPs has absorbed bumps and bruises. It's because Prestige made a soft cardboard album rather than a hard box: It's an open-ended presentation. The closed end, top and bottom, is damaged - top edge bumped, with half-inch splits on its edges; bottom edge also bumped, with half-inch splits and backing starting to split. BUT: The 24-page booklet (all text and photos in excellent condition) and all LPs are perfectly intact, nicely adhering to the album spine after forty years.

I'm an independent seller divesting his own record collection. I'm not selling from a store or warehouse, with multiple copies of titles, or on behalf of a professional collector.


Shipping: Ebay requires seller to indicate shipping methods and other particulars, then automatically inserts the cost at the top of the listing. Buyer will pay amount as determined by destination and shipping method he chooses; I don't gouge the price to make more profit. (USPS Media Mail is cheapest; I will provide prices for US Priority, or for FedEx or UPS ground, if requested.)


Insurance is mandatory: Please wait till I inform you of cost prior to submitting payment. It and not Ebay's stated cost is the amount to be paid.


**For winners outside US**: USPS shipping options are International Priority and International Express. Both methods include insurance but only Express has tracking. If you want a different shipper, I will quote you the cost at end of auction.


Packing: The cardboard set, all elements well intact, will be carefully encased in bubble wrap before placed in a well-fitting hard cardboard box. Please indicate any special instructions.


Payment: I accept Paypal. I also accept cash in cases of in-person deliveries.


Returns: Returns will be accepted in cases of error in description.
