Here's an uncommon 10" Edison lateral cut Needle Type Electric Record.  Entitled "In Old Tijuana," it's performed by Billy Murray, and it's backed with "Main Street," as performed by Cy Pitkin. Condition is good (both sides), and the record plays through without any skips or repeats, but as you can see in the photographs, there's a streak in the shellac on Murray side. I'm not sure if this is a scratch, or perhaps residue of some type, but it feels rough to the touch, so I think it's the latter. I washed the record with warm water, and it didn't change the appearance. It's audible as a click with each revolution when the record is playing, but the noise is not excessive, 
That's about it.  Buyer prepays and includes shipping.
