5 Mosaic sets for sale

[rivieraranch]

1. I have a spare copy of the Bennie Green Mosaic Select #3, which is now out of print. The set it not opened and is still in shrink wrap, although the wrap is slightly torn at one corner. This is the real deal. Asking $60.00 plus Media Mail Shipping in the Continental U.S.

2. I have a spare copy of the Curtis Amy Mosaic Select for sale. It is new in shrink wrap. $60.00 plus Media Mail Shipping in the Continental U.S.

3. I have a nice copy of the Tal Farlow Mosaic set, which is now out of print. This is the seven disc set that spans 1952 to 1959. The set is in near mint condition and the discs are also near mint. The spine is marked B0002992-02 and the inside of the booklet states "This is one of a limited edition of 10,000 albums" with the number B0002992-02 printed below. It is not marked "promo." I have been advised that this set was issued by Universal Europe as part of its licensing deal with Mosaic; not a promo copy. It is identical to the edition issued by Mosaic in the US, except for the numbering, and part of the same 10,000-unit limited edition. Asking $150.00 plus shipping.

4. The Complete Blue Note Horace Parlan Sessions, MD5-197, now out of print. Includes the 5 discs and their jewel cases, inserts, box and booklet. The set looks good and the discs play fine. There are a few minor things, not really noticeable but worthy of mentioning. There is a tiny mark on the very top of the outer box; there is some discoloration on the back of the booklet. All in all, this is a nice set, well worth $100.00 including shipping.

5. MOSAIC MD7-225 - SOLD THE COMPLETE ARGO/MERCURY ART FARMER BENNY GOLSON JAZZTET SESSIONS. This is a 7 disc set that is now out of print. The set is in near mint condition. The booklet is marked "promo" inside where the serial number would usually be recorded. This is a nice set; an opportunity for someone to acquire an out of print Mosaic at a reasonable price. Asking $160.00 plus shipping.

I have photos of the above upon request.

That Farlow set is the edition issued by Universal in Europe (part of its licensing deal with Mosaic for this set), and not a promo copy (at least based just on the numbering). Identical to the edition issued by Mosaic in the US, except for the numbering, and part of the same 10,000-unit limited edition (although they probably never reached that theoretical limit of 10,000).

Correct, and those Universal Euro Mosaics were not hand-numbered.

And only the European issue was credited to Tal's 'Concert Band' !
