I am offering for sale the folowing two rare Mosaic box sets:

Charles Mingus: The Jazz Workshop Concerts 1964-65. 7 CDs. $180

Louis Armstrong: Columbia and RCA Victor Live Recordings of Louis Armstrong and the All Stars. 9 CDs. $195

Each box set is a numbered limited edition.

Each box set is in mint, like new condition. Everything (box, booklet, CDs, jewel cases) is in great shape.

These sets have been out-of-print for a long time and do not come up for sale very often and, when they do, they sell for big money. For example, the Louis Armstrong set sold on eBay a few weeks ago for approx. $250 total (i.e., when shipping and sales tax are included to the $218 closing bid).

I collect the large Mosaic box sets as well as the smaller Mosaic Select box sets and these are duplicates I acquired. Mosaic box sets are quality through and through.

I can send pics by e-mail; just send me your e-mail address in a pm and I will e-mail pics.

Payment by pay pal friends/family. Media mail shipping is $10 extra (which includes postal insurance). I will pack each box set carefully (wrapped in bubble wrap) and mail each box set in its original Mosaic shipping box.

Thanks.

    Thanks.

    I forgot to mention in my original post that all of the CDs/jewel cases, with the exception of the CD 5 jewel case, are still sealed on the Mingus set.

    Also, 2 of 3 of the fat jewel cases of the Armstrong set are still sealed (the jewel case containing CDs 4-6 and the jewel case containing CDs 7-9).

    Again, the Mingus set is now sold.

    And kevhed has first option on the Armstrong set.

    I can do $185 on the following Mosaic Louis Armstrong box set. Media mail shipping (with postal insurance) is $10 extra.

    That is the best I can do and it would be tough to find it at a lower price. It is a rare one to find and does not appear for sale too often. It has long been out of print and is one of the scarcest of the Mosaic large box sets to find.

    Louis Armstrong: Columbia and RCA Victor Live Recordings of Louis Armstrong and the All Stars. 9 CDs.

    Like New condition. 2 of 3 of the fat jewel cases are still sealed (the jewel case containing CDs 4-6 and the jewel case containing CDs 7-9 are still sealed).

    Payment by pay pal friends/family.

    Thanks.

    I will leave the Mosaic Louis Armstrong 9 CD box set for sale exclusively on here for a few more days (the Mingus set has sold) and will then list it on a few other sites if there is no interest by that time.

    Thanks again.
