CONDITION
The record is in good vintage condition with a nice overall appearance. It has light scratches, scuffs and surface marks consistent with its age and previous use. The photographs show the actual record being offered and provide a good representation of its condition.
The photographs show both Side A and Side B of this ONE record.
I do not see any major crack or large chip in the photographs.
Because this is a vintage shellac 78 RPM record, some surface noise, clicks and/or crackling may be present during playback. Please review all photographs carefully before bidding.
COLLECTOR'S NOTE
The 1924 Victor 55225 recording is historically significant, featuring Gershwin himself at the piano with Paul Whiteman's orchestra. It represents an important early recording of one of the most famous works in American music.
A wonderful opportunity to add an authentic 1920s Gershwin recording to a collection of Victor records, early jazz, classical music, or American musical history.
