ATTENTION MILES DAVIS AS WELL AS 1980s JAZZ MUSIC LP COLLECTORS!     

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1981 UK SET OF PRESSINGS OF AN ESSENTIAL MILES DAVIS COMPILATION DOUBLE ALBUM:"DIRECTIONS" ON THE CBS LABELS.HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL "MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN" INNER SLEEVES AND THE GATEFOLD COVER WITH FULL LINE UPS,RECORDING DATES AND EXTENSIVE SLEEVE NOTES.12 TRACKS FROM 1960-1970.

CBS S CBS 88514 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE A-1/B-1/C-1/D-1 MATRIXES.

IT IS OF UPGRADER STANDARD! HARD TO FIND,ESPECIALLY AS OUTSTANDING AS THIS SET  WHICH HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED! WONDERFUL SOUND AND LOTS OF BASS!

IN THE 1980s MOST COPIES SOLD WERE PLAYED ON MUCH OLDER EQUIPMENT OFTEN THAT HAD HEAVY PICKUPS AND RADIOGRAMS THAT ENCOURAGED THE USE OF AUTO-CHANGERS THAT WOULD SCUFF AND SCRATCH THE DELICATE GROOVES.

THIS SET HAS NOT HAD MUCH USE AT ALL WITH GLEAMING SURFACES WITH NO SURFACE MARKS WHATSOEVER!.I STRUGGLED TO HEAR ANY SURFACE NOISE! NO LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS OR JUMPS! A COPY THAT HAS HAD VERY LITTLE USE IN 38 YEARS! STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION.

 THE COVER HAS A SMALL "E 8" IN BIRO PEN AT THE BACK AND SOME TINY EDGE CREASES BUT THERE IS NO RIPS OR REPAIRS!  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND ALL FOUR LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE MAGNIFICENT AND ESSENTIAL MILES DAVIS LPs FROM ME ON EBAY THIS WEEK AND TO FOLLOW.  PERSONAL COLLECTION IS WELCOME FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME. 

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
