This is the SUPER-RARE, OOP 45 7" record boxset released by the Numero Group - "Eccentric Soul: Omnibus." It includes the booklet and download card (I'm not 100% sure it hasn't already been redeemed or is expired - if you buy the item and the code doesn't work, let me know and we can work something out on the mp3s). The tops of the 45 sleeves are a little wrinkled - this happened with every single of these sets - the 45s fit so snugly in the box that they inevitably wrinkle at the top. Some of the 45s have been played once, a couple have just very very slight scuffs, but absolutely no scratches. The book is in near mint condition. The case has just typical very minimal shelf wear, as represented in the photos.
Please let me know if you have any questions at all, about any of the individual records or anything. Thanks so much for looking!
Forty-five 45 rpm singles from the dustiest corners of the United States, replicated down to the tiniest detail. Housed in a custom Numero-patterned 45 box, replete with metal hardware and handle in 19 different color combinations. Clothbound hardback book with a word count of almost 50,000, covering the bizarre histories of each group, the early history of Numero, plus a detailed series of indices. All of it is evidence that the darkened corners of the music business looked much the same in the pale light of Fresno, California, or Owensboro, Kentucky. Most of these 45s appear austere and simple at a glance, but every hand-drawn logo, every misspelled bit of crucial information belies a deep well of unique history, PVC footholds in an uphill battle against badly stacked odds, these were records willed into existence through pure determination. Gathered here are 90 songs and 45 stories—too disconnected and isolated from one another for expansion into full-length CD or LP projects—cross-referencing each town and year of issue, and gathering it all into a compact and elegant monument to America’s soul diaspora.
