Rise And Fall Of Paramount Records Vol. 2, 6x LP++ Metal Suitcase Box Set #144

The Rise and Fall Of Paramount Records 1928-1932, Volume 2

Limited issue of 5000, this is #144.

The vinyl albums do not have paper labels but have the side number etched into the record where the labels would be.

Contents:

* 800 newly-remastered digital tracks, representing 175 artists.

* 90+ fully-restored original 1920s-30s Paramount ads from The Chicago Defender

* 6 x 180g LPs pressed on label-less alabaster-white vinyl, each side with its own hand-etched numeral and holographic image.

* 250 pg. large-format clothbound hardcover book featuring original Paramount art and the label's curious tale

* 400 pg. encyclopedia-style softcover field guide containing artist bios & portraits and full Paramount discography

* First-of-its-kind music and image player app containing all tracks and ads, housed on custom metal USB drive

* Polished aluminum and stainless steel "Machine Age" cabinet, upholstered in sapphire blue velvet.

The heavy-duty metal suitcase is in nice condition and free of dents, it does have kind of spotting. The hardcover book has a few age spots on cover. The contents are beautiful, the LPs are NM and appear unplayed, the books are Excellent and appear unread, and the ads and usb drive are all in Excellent condition. There does seem to be a small amount of separation at the seams of the sleeves that hold the records on the right, see last pic. Please see below for the LP tracklist, I tried to include the USB 800 title tracklist but it was too long for the eBay system to allow.
