The Rise and Fall of Paramount Records, Volume 1 Limited Edition Vinyl

The Rise & Fall of Paramount Records: Volume 1 Limited Edition Chestnut Vinyl is a stunning, unique box set that will make a striking addition to your listening room or living space. It’s sure to become a conversation starter among your friends. This is my personal copy and it's in excellent condition, smoke-free environment. I played only a few tracks of one of the records, the rest were never played. The chestnut box has a couple of very tiny, barely visible marks (ask me for more pics before buying if you want to see more details).   The Rise & Fall of Paramount, Volume One takes the form of a curated exhibit of words, images and music with Paramount at its fulcrum, all housed in a lush handcrafted cabinet that harkens back to the wunderkammern, precursors to the modern museum. Crafted as an object to keep and cherish for a lifetime, its form is designed to reveal evidence of the hand at work, to bring out the tactile richness of hand-sculpted woods and metals, and to meld the rough-hewn with the earliest burblings of American modernism in the 1920s. Its multi-format narrative tells the curious tale of the only pre-War record label to capture what America truly sounded like in the 1920s, in all its multitudes. This amazing handcrafted set contains: - SIX 180g LPs w/ hand-engraved metal leaf center labels on burled chestnut vinyl -Deluxe large-format hardcover art book: 250 pages, narrative with full-color plates -Encyclopedia-style reference manual: 360 pages, field guide to artists & repertoire -Handcrafted elements: rich woods, lush upholstery, and custom-forged metal hardware -200+ fully-restored original ads and images - Included is a 'Jobber-Luxe' player, which enables the user to manage over 800 tracks from the Paramount catalog, some of which are included on the 6x Burled Chestnut Vinyl LPs included in the Boxset. The USB is custom designed to look like a Victrola stylus.
