10QLP set in mint, unplayed condition. Box, booklet, records are absolutely pristine. From a gathering of top condition Mosaic sets I bought some years back, and never got around to listen to.

Milburn recorded it as "One Scotch, One Bourbon, One Beer". The permutation of the drinks is due to John Lee Hooker.

Also, someone should buy this, because it's great.

Agreed! A highly enjoyable set. Picked one up a few years ago (CD version, but I guess it wasn't much cheaper, don't recall, doesn't matter, once the decision is made to buy, I don't look back).

If you want all of his best recordings, here 'tis.

And some of his also-rans too, I guess (considering it is the COMPLETE sessions).

Actually I'd spring for it (as I think I'd even be able to unload - at a quite decent price - the full run of 80s Pathé and Route 66 LPs with about 2 thirds to 3 quarters of this stuff that I already have) but shipping from the US over here just is too prohibitive. So - no way, sadly ...

Bundle, that's the way to go. If you buy several sets and have them shipped together, the shipping costs per set quickly diminish.

Unfortunately by then the customs people would rip me off BIG TIME.

Even for used sets?

[Big Beat Steve]

Of course. Unfortunately. Actually records are even more difficult to "cover up" than other "used" items. For a time I bought quite a lot of mags and paperback books from the 40s, 50s and early 60s from the US. Can you imagine to what kind of repackagings and splittings into multiple smaller parcels and envelopes I sometimes had to resort to (and talk the - sometimes stubborn - sellers into) in order to keep the costs PER SHIPPING within limits so as to slip things past customs with only a minimum of customs fees due? Global priority envelopes made this possible (despite their price increase over time) because the cost actually increases in an almost LINEAR manner according to weight. So 4 times 4 lbs did not cost significantly more than one parcel of 15 or 16 lbs.

Records (particularly record SETS) are more difficult because once customs people check things you cannot get by with "used" sets stated at an all too low"nominal" value only. And LP- or box-set-sized parcels ARE more conspicuous and invite inspection even more readily than Global Priority envelopes containing printed matter.

I guess this is one instance where Geman efficiency is very much a bad thing..
