This is a complete set of the Riverside 5000 vinyl record series from 1956 until approximately 1962. It includes 26 separate items, two of which are double albums. I have never seen the complete set for sale anywhere in the past. I collected these over many years, and they are my "doubles". I paid anywhere from $15 to close to $100 for them. A few I purchased from overseas as they are extremely rare. I am not entertaining offers, as the listed price minus fees essentially covers the time and cost of what I paid to acquire them all. Some of them are in excellent condition, others are what I would call fair, with some tears in the cover and significantly split edges. Some have old price tags on them. The vinyl records themselves have all been played before of course. There are a few scratches, but I have not played them all to closely document their quality. All of them are in their own individual plastic sleeve (not shown in the lead photo), and all have inner plastic or paper liners - some vintage.
The main photo shows the entire collection you will get, and since I could not upload a spreadsheet I took a photo of one; it lists all of the titles, their Riverside #, the approximate date it was released, any anything else specific to that item. Some of these are in stereo, while the older ones are predominantly mono. You will see from the spreadsheet that Riverside used a slightly different numbering system if the record was in stereo. I also included 3 photos of one of the records just as an example.
If you are not familiar with these there are a few complete records online you can listen to if you search for Sounds of Sebring. What is also cool about these are the great cover photos and info on the back cover. In addition some of them are interviews with the top drivers of the time - see the list. Any fan of vintage racing will love and treasure these - again I am only selling my duplicates.
I plan to ship these at my cost via media mail. If you wish them to be shipped some other way then the cost would be born by the buyer, as the package weighs over 20 pounds. They are in a cushioned heavy cardboard box.
I am frequently out of town for work so there could be as long as 5 business days before I get the box to the post office.
I will also be listing separately a complete set of the Riverside 5500 series, which has a slightly different focus in terms of racing plus other predominantly motorized subjects.
