If you are from Vintage Record Album store and interested in these for re-sale, I would prefer if you "move on" to another listing.  I am not interested in selling to Vintage Record Album Stores.  Thanks for understanding.  

Item: Vintage Jazz Vocal Box Set

Description:    This listing is for a Judy Garland Deluxe Limited Edition Box Set of Vinyl Record Albums.   Please take note this the BLACK BOX Version which is the Original Issue.  You'll notice here on Ebay how there are SO MANY of the more colorful box set (Big Orange Label) which sells for about $40 on average.  Those are Re-Issues of this one. For every 20 of those listed here on Ebay you'll only find 1 of these Black Box Versions.  

Please understand that photos of Vinyl Records do not show very accurately because of glares and reflections.   I use the "Industry Standard Record GradingChart" (down below) to grade each Vinyl Records condition and the Condition of the Album Cover.   When in doubt, I will always go "down" in my grading (to play it safe).  Sometimes I will add an extra +/- just to make the grading more accurate.   All Albums I sell are cleaned with a High-End Vinyl Record Cleaner.  So, regardless of an albums condition, it is always immaculate and plays to the best of its potential.   I taking Grading/Cleaning Records very seriously and personally listen to every single album.  That's why you don't see any Country/Opera/Rap Albums for sale in my store.  I'd have to listen to them!!  Most albums have their original paper sleeve.  As for the ones that don't or were totally trashed, I replaced them with a brand new white sleeve.  

Please Understand What Each Grading Means.  Please understand that each Record Player performs differently as well.  I can't stress enough the difference between a $99 Turntable and a $300 Turntable.  

Note:  I only grade albums "MINT" if they are still sealed regardless of how pristine they may be.  

1:  Judy Garland Live At Carnegie Hall.  DOUBLE Record Box Set from 1961 by Capital Records WBO-1569.  Vinyl Records Graded: NEAR MINT +.  Album/Box Cover Graded: EXCELLENT-.  Includes the Original B&W Photograph of Judy Garland and the Letter from President of Capital Records. 

It is obvious that these Records have had VERY little time on the turntable in their lifetimes.  In fact, It wouldn't surprise me at all if they never even touched a turntable. Truly ONLY the box shows any sign of age at all.   Its that clean!! 

Shipping:  No international shipping unless done through Ebay's Global Shipping Program.     I ship records via Media Mail.   

Thank you for looking at my listing.   If you have any questions, feel free to ask. 

Industry Standard Record Grading Chart

MINT (M): Perfect! This record looks like it has just left the manufacturer, with NO flaws what so ever. It looks as though it had never been handled. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains. No stickers address labels, writing on the covers or labels. No tears or seam splits. No wear to the cover or record period! Age of the record has nothing to do with it.

NEAR MINT or NM, M- : this record appears virtually flawless A very minor scuff and very little else can appear on the vinyl. It should play without any noise over the flaw. The flaw is very hard to see. The cover looks as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork is be as close to perfect as can be.

EXCELLENT or EX or VG++ : minor scuffs which are only slightly visible. There may be more than a few scuffs and NO Scratches COVER: Artwork is still as close to perfect as can be. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear! Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show white (where the artwork pasted slick was) meaning, slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs can make this grade.

VERY GOOD PLUS or VG+ record shows wear, surface scuffs. The vinyl still has a great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. If the flaws don't cause any surface noise, the vinyl can still make the VG+ grade. COVERS: A virtually clean cover, but may have small writing on it. The artwork looks clean with slightly more aging. The back of the cover usually gives away the age of the cover. Flat white paper will be somewhat yellow yet no stains or mildew from water damage. Some minor wear to the seams or spine, but no tears or holes popping through. The corners will be slightly dog eared yet no crackly bends, defacing the artwork. In essence, a VG+ cover should have no more than 3 flaws mentioned.

VERY GOOD or VG: this record is a record that is good enough. They are not really going to look very good, but it will STILL play very good. There will almost always be some surface noise when they are played. The Dynamics should still be excellent, overpowering the surface noise. A VG record will appear well have been played but still have some luster. VG covers will look worn, used. There may be some seam splitting . There will be some ring wear, where the ink has begun to wear off. Giving the cover a look of snow falling. If the artwork looks snowy all over, it is less than VG condition. There may be some writing on the cover (still, no Large letters in magic marker). It will look aged and more yellowish due to contamination's in the air (sometimes looking like cigarette smoke). Still it should be decent.

GOOD or G A good record will look very well played and dull. However a Good record should still play. It could have distracting surface noise. Such as crackle that is continuous or some hiss. Will also have some loss of dynamics caused from grooves being worn. It should play without any skips or any obtrusively loud pops or repeated clicks, caused by deep scratches. Good means that it will play with some form of decency, so one can still enjoy the music even though you can still hear noise caused from the wear. A Good cover will have just about everything wrong with it. It will have seam splits (possibly taped repaired, but only with scotch tape. No duct tape or masking tape repairs
