pglbook Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 (edited) Offered for sale is a great (and pretty rare) Mosaic Select: Mosaic Select: Toshiko Akiyoshi-Lew Tabackin Big Band (3 CD, Mosaic Select, 2008) Limited Edition of 5,000 sets. This is a nice copy. I would rate the slipcase as VG+ due to the usual minor shelf wear to slipcase corners (quite common on the thin cardboard Mosaic Select slipcases), some slight rubbing to upper front panel of slipcase, and a small, perhaps 1/4", rubbed area to lower right corner of lower spine of slipcase due to what appears to be a price sticker removal as it still has a very small edge of price sticker present there. Jewel cases and CDs are all in excellent condition. Booklet is in nice condition save for a small (approx. 1") crease to top of rear cover of booklet. There are only a few copies for sale on discogs and the lowest current price on discogs is $90. I will offer it here for $11 lower than the lowest discogs price (see discogs link below). $79 + $6 media mail shipping (I will cover postal insurance). Payment by pay pal friends/family. https://www.discogs.com/release/3961301-Toshiko-Akiyoshi-Lew-Tabackin-Big-Band-Mosaic-Select Pics available upon request (please pm me an email address if pics desired so I can email photos). Satisfaction Guaranteed: Item is as described, and I will pack the item well, ship it in a sturdy small box, and provide a tracking # after shipping. However, if Buyer is unhappy with the item for whatever reason, Buyer may return the item to Seller (Buyer pays return shipping) within 7 days of receipt for a refund. Finally, please note that I can only mail items on a Friday or Saturday. Thanks. Edited March 18 by pglbook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 It's good music at a good price, lower than any of the copies currently for sale on Discogs. I have it and can recommend it.
