A numbered, limited edition 6 LP box set of Charlie Parker's recordings for the Dial Label issued in 1977. Warner Bros. made only 4000 of these worldwide, and the beautiful presentation and great music meant they sold out immediately. The six discs each have their own individual card stock sleeve, featuring a portrait of Parker, by noted contemporary artists Larry Rivers, Romaire Bearden, Ben Schonzeit, Raymond Saunders, William T. Wiley, and Lowell Nesbitt. There is also a book with photographs and liner notes. Everything is contained in a cloth bound box; this copy is numbered AP/46 (in other words, this is an Artist's Proof, made for one of the artists involved.) The discs, booklet and sleeve are mint, the box has a few very small and minor age spots on the back–so call it near mint. Superb.
