NEXT - A FEW DAYS WORTH OF GOOD FEMALE JAZZ AND POP VOCAL LPs - This is a reasonably priced ORIGINAL 1960 U.S. VERVE RECORDS STEREO 5 LP BOX SET WITH BONUS 7" EP, ART PRINTS, AND HARD COVER BOOK titled 'Ella Fitzgerald Sings The George And Ira Gershwin Songbooks', with 59 Gershwin songs interpreted by the incomparable Ella Fitzgerald accompanied by The Nelson Riddle Orchestra.  It is Verve Records catalog number MGVS-6082-5.  The set comes packaged in a cardboard box with Bernard Buffet artwork on the front cover.  The set includes the following: (1) Five rigid vinyl deep groove Verve Records LPs with black Verve Records labels with silver print with 'Verve Records - Made In U.S.A.' inscription at the bottoms of the labels - Records come packaged inside the box in custom sleeves with clear poly inner bags; (2) a 40 page hard cover book titled  'The Gershwins - Words Upon Music'; (3) A 7" 6-track EP with instrumental tracks from selections in the box set; (4) a folio containing five Bernard Buffet art prints that were used for the front cover artwork on the individual single LP issues of the five LPs included in this box set.  Track listing is shown in my accompanying image of the back cover of the box.  Condition of all five records is conservatively EX with each record having one or two extremely light surface marks which are only visible under strong light, cannot be felt, and do not affect play.  Condition of 7" EP is a high VG+ with a very few very light surface marks which cannot be felt and do not affect play.  Condition of 40 page hard cover book is EX with a couple of small marks on the cover, no other real flaws.  Condition of the five art prints is a SOLID NM with no real flaws.  Condition of outer box is VG+ with one partly torn corner on the outer cover, some general contact wear, and some general wear along the edges and on the corners.  Box has no tears, writing, or stickers.  This top of the line box set would make a choice addition to any Ella Fitzgerald or jazz vocal record collection!  Winning bidder pays $4.00 media mail postage or actual priority mail postage within the U.S.  I WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE - INTERNATIONAL PRIORITY AIRMAIL POSTAGE TO AREAS OUTSIDE THE U.S EXCEPT FOR CANADA (40.00) AND GERMANY (79.40) is 66.45 (WEIGHT OF THIS BOX SET WILL BE 6 POUNDS PACKED) - YES IT'S CRAZY, THIS IS THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE AS OF 1/27, NOT ME!!!  PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO THE GERMAN POST AND CUSTOMS CONTINUING FAILURE TO DELIVER MY PACKAGES, I AM FORCED TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL $12.95 TO COVER REGISTERED POSTAGE WITH TRACKING AND SIGNATURE DELIVERY TO ALL SHIPMENTS GOING TO GERMANY.  I APOLOGIZE FOR THIS, BUT I CANNOT CONTINUE TO LOSE MONEY AND HAVE MY EBAY REPUTATION DAMAGED BY THE GERMAN POST AND CUSTOMS' INABILITY TO DELIVER MY PACKAGES.  Please e-mail me for postage rates to other areas outside the U.S.!   WINNING BIDDER PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH - IT PROBABLY WILL NOT GET HERE!
