JAZZ: 5 REEL TAPES FULL OF RARE CLASSIC 50's JAZZ!
This week on Ebay we are offering up these 5 different Reel to Reel tapes containing some rare classic Jazz.
Music by Sonny Rollins, Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Stitt, Ahmad Jamal, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, , Ray Brown, Milt Jackson, Eddie 'Cleanhead' Vinson, Ben Webster, Jimmy Smith, as well as some classic Newport concerts, classic Duke Ellington & Count Basie, some Jazz vocalists; Ella, Sarah, Dinah, Chris Connor and so many more.
There are over 50 titles spread over these 5 tapes.
Up front I should state that I'm selling these as 'BLANK' tapes.
They all contain the music as listed on the tape boxes, but I'm selling them as 'blanks'.
There are over 50 titles recorded on these tapes. I tried to list most of the titles below.
I also tried to show the writing on the back of each box, showing the content, playback speed, and other recording information.

These are all 'Concert Master' brand tapes, Mylar, and are the longer 1800 foot length. The reels are 7" diameter.

I don't have a Reel to Reel player, but I had a record collecting buddy who does, check these out. He doesn't know Jazz well, like I do, but said that there was music on them. He stated that sometimes the music only came out of one channel, but I suspect most of these were from Mono vinyl masters and may have been recorded on one channel only. Not sure....

These are from a house clearance/estate sale here in Baltimore.
The original owner was a Jazz fan and recorded classic Bop, Bebop and vintage jazz music.
He was meticulous with his tape, records and equipment and these tapes were stored in a climate controlled living room stereo cabinet for decades. I purchased many classic Jazz records from his Estate and they are mostly in fantastic condition. I suspect these tapes received that same care.
I don't know what equipment they were recorded on. The 'gear' was all sold off before the estate sale.

I'm not an expert on Reel to Reel tapes but these all seem to be in excellent condition. The tape is soft and supple, no sign of oxide loss, 'stickiness' or damage.
These all appear to be recordings of classic late 1950's and early 60's Jazz albums and, based on information on the boxs, were recorded at home between 1968-1971.
Again, these are in great condition, previously recorded Reel to Reel tapes, Being sold as 'BLANK' tapes but they contain the music as marked on each box.
These can be used on any modern Reel to Reel system and are sure to give excellent clean, crisp results on every use.

I’m recently retired and downsizing and letting go some gems and rarities from nearly 45 years of vinyl record collecting. Check out the many other fantastic 45s and 33s coming soon to my page!
Please look at all the high-resolution pictures I added. They are all my own and are of the actual item being sold. The pictures are part of the description and can show small details, label variations, and condition better than I can put into words.
My grading is fair and honest. I have had over 3,400 happy and satisfied EBay customers over the years, with 100% positive feedback, and I have been buying/selling on EBay for well over 25 years, so please bid with confidence!
I'm a 0ne-man operation, this is a hobby, not my job. I do this for fun. I do this because I love music, love collecting vinyl and want others to share in that same experience. I take my time listening, researching, grading, listing and packaging. I will NOT sell any record that I personally would not want in my collection.
As you well know, packing and shipping rare records requires special care and attention, therefore, shipping cost within the lower 48 states for these 5 heavy tapes $7.00.
If you would like insurance, or anything faster than Media/Economy Mail, please let me know and I can arrange it for you. I’ll work with you to make sure you’re happy!
I will gladly combine multiple records, or other items on my page, and make the shipping much less for you. I don’t inflate the shipping costs; they are what they are. I strive to keep them as low as possible. See my feedback for comments on my quality packing and shipping.
All items are packaged with sturdy cardboard mailers and appropriate padding. I take pride in my packaging and shipping and package all my records as if I were sending them to myself. I refuse to use cheap flimsy packaging material when sending my items. I treat them as if they were my own and mail them the same way.
All orders are processed and shipped within 2 business days of receipt. We package and ship our vinyl records with the greatest care, using proper packaging to ensure that your rare and collectible items arrive in pristine condition.
Payments can be made by any of the multiple options that Ebay offers.
I will be happy to exchange feedback with anyone I complete a transaction with.
THANK YOU for looking and reading my lengthy description if you got this far. - JOHN
