Dmitry Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) 10QLP set in mint, unplayed condition. Box, booklet, records are absolutely pristine. From a gathering of top condition Mosaic sets I bought some years back, and never got around to listen to.

[jazz nerd mode engaged] Milburn recorded it as "One Scotch, One Bourbon, One Beer". The permutation of the drinks is due to John Lee Hooker.

Picked one up a few years ago (CD version, but I guess it wasn't much cheaper, don't recall, doesn't matter, once the decision is made to buy, I don't look back).

Big Beat Steve Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 And some of his also-rans too, I guess (considering it is the COMPLETE sessions). Actually I'd spring for it (as I think I'd even be able to unload - at a quite decent price - the full run of 80s Pathé and Route 66 LPs with about 2 thirds to 3 quarters of this stuff that I already have) but shipping from the US over here just is too prohibitive.

Bundle, that's the way to go. If you buy several sets and have them shipped together, the shipping costs per set quickly diminish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Beat Steve Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) Of course. Unfortunately. Actually records are even more difficult to "cover up" than other "used" items. For a time I bought quite a lot of mags and paperback books from the 40s, 50s and early 60s from the US. Can you imagine to what kind of repackagings and splittings into multiple smaller parcels and envelopes I sometimes had to resort to (and talk the - sometimes stubborn - sellers into) in order to keep the costs PER SHIPPING within limits so as to slip things past customs with only a minimum of customs fees due? Global priority envelopes made this possible (despite their price increase over time) because the cost actually increases in an almost LINEAR manner according to weight. So 4 times 4 lbs did not cost significantly more than one parcel of 15 or 16 lbs. Records (particularly record SETS) are more difficult because once customs people check things you cannot get by with "used" sets stated at an all too low"nominal" value only. And LP- or box-set-sized parcels ARE more conspicuous and invite inspection even more readily than Global Priority envelopes containing printed matter.
