Description

An excellent copy of this rare out-of-print limited-edition box set of The Complete Capitol Live Recordings of George Shearing (Mosaic MD5-157), number 2,382 of an edition of 5,000.  The set was imported directly from the United States by its one previous owner. 

Mosaic specialises in licensing back-catalogue jazz recordings from major record labels and releasing them as beautifully produced multi-CD box sets. Each set is produced in a limited run, and once those are sold out will never be reproduced. 

First released in 2003 this set contains many recordings made between 1958 and 1963. As well as 5 discs of classic jazz the set includes a fascinating full-size 12-page illustrated brochure with the background to these recordings, track list and list of performers.

Condition

This copy is in excellent condition. The playing surfaces of the CDs are unmarked and the box and booklet are in very good condition.
