Fred Astaire Signed Limited Edition Book #520/1, Fred Astaire Signed Limited Edition  The Astaire St
<B>Fred Astaire Signed Limited Edition "The Astaire Story" Album Set Mercury MG C-1001/4 (1953).</B></I> A very nice copy of a most rare Jazz collectable, the four-disk limited edition set titled <B>The Astaire Story,</B></I> which found singer-dancer Fred Astaire in the recording studio with a gang of top jazzmen led by Oscar Peterson to see where their mutual inspiration would lead. The resulting 38 tracks -- mostly Jazz versions of standards associated with Astaire -- were pressed on four blue-vinyl records with special labels and issued in a suspension-styled oversize album in red cloth with dancer logo on the front cover, plus liner notes on pebbled paper, color and b&w photographs (by Gjon Mili), and a portfolio of drawings by collectable Jazz artist David Stone Martin. His signature initials appear on one drawing, and Astaire himself numbered and signed all copies. This particular copy is #520 from a limited edition of 1,384, in Good condition with some mild soiling and fading to the cover. The records are in Very Good condition with some minor surface noise. <I>With COA from PSA/DNA.</B></I>
