Original Mono Analog: THE BIX BEIDERBECKE STORY, All 3 Volumes All Are Near Mint Original Mono Analog: THE BIX BEIDERBECKE STORY, All 3 Volumes All Are Near Mint Description Bix Beiderbecke had an important, formative influence on the structure of Early Jazz. Columbia Records produced a series "The Bix Beiderbecke Story" in 3 separate Volumes. This style of release can make it difficult to assemble all 3 - particularly in Near Mint condition. Offered here are all 3 Volumes - all in Near Mint. Wikipedia has an extensive account of the short life of Bix (he died at age 31) that you would likely find interesting. When you go to the Wikipedia site, copy and paste Bix Beiderbecke into the search box. ------------------------ THE 3 VINYL RECORDS: NM : This top grade applies to all 3 of these superb LPs.
