78 RPM Lucille Bogan Bessie Jackson "Shave 'Em Dry" YES- THAT ONE!!!

You know the story. RARE RARE RARE on 78RPM.

Recorded in 1935 along with a "clean" version, this was said to be Lucille's last recording.

Again THIS IS THE RISQUE VERSION!!!!!

I was told by a collector this recording dates to the 40s but I do not know.

The recording is loud and clear with some wear noise and a low, non-intrusive moderate click when it hits the tight crack area (shown in photo)

Moderate click ends about one inch into the recording.

Sounds as if it were cut from the original master but again, some of you likely know much more about this record.

Record is still pretty shiny too.

This record will be shipped fully insured, PRIORITY MAIL,  at no additional cost.

Condition V to V+

The VJM Record Grading System.

I do my best to be accurate with record condition. I play records as I list as some can look and play differently.

These will need cleaned as they have been stored for many years.

I have cleaned a few if they really appear questionable, but not many.

NM- Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.

E+  Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.

E Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.

E- Still shiny but without the luster of a new record, few light scuffs and scratches some audible noise but minimal

V+ Average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced.

V Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.

V- Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level.

G+ Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.

G Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.

G- Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.

F Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening quality is compromised.

I ship 78s sandwiched in a corrugated pads, wrapped in bubble wrap in a 12x12x6 box and padded with newspaper or other suitable protection.
