OK - BACK TO LPs OF VARIOUS STYLES FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS - This is a reasonably priced CORAL RECORDS GERMANY 4 LP BOX SET titled 'Blues Box 1', containing 64 original blues recordings dating from between 1934 and 1940. It is Coral Records Germany catalog number PCOX 7526/1-1 / 6.30106 FK.
The extra added attraction with this item is the fact that it originally resided in the personal record collection of 1970s honky-tonk country star Gary Stewart, who lived in Fort Pierce, Florida, one town north of my home in Port St. Lucie, Florida. I recently purchased this item and some of Gary's other records from the close friend and member of Gary Stewart's band who inherited Gary's vinyl record collection. Gary Stewart has personally signed this item on the inside front cover of the box as shown in the accompanying image.
Records in this box set are packaged inside the box in their own individual thin cardboard custom inner sleeves with song titles and session notes about each song.

Condition of three of the four records is a high VG+ with each record having a very few visible surface marks which cannot be felt and do not affect play. Condition of the fourth record is VG with a few non-feelable surface marks and one small surface scratch which can be felt and which will cause a few ticks over one track, no skips. Condition of the four custom inner sleeves is VG+ with a few slight wrinkles and a little wear. Condition of outer box is VG+ with one torn corner and a small tear in the middle of the right hand side of the cover; box also has some contact wear and some wear along the edges and on the corners.
