ANDREWS SISTERS 78 RPM BOOGIE WOOGIE BUGLE BOY DECCA

$

116

This is a fantastic Andrews Sisters 78 record. It is on the Decca label # 3598 recorded in 1941. The record also comes with its Decca sleeve. The songs are: Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy and Bounce Me Brother With A Solid Four. The shellac is still very shiny but it has scratches and scuffs it has been very played. But the good news is that both sides play very loud and very clear and there are no skips cracks or chips. Actually when I played both songs all I heard was some background noise here and there but it was far from overwhelming. Both sides played in V+ condition entering into E- quite a bit. Due to the scratches just to be safe I am visually grading the record in V condition. I am always happy to combine shipping. Please email me with any questions you may have. Buyer to pay shipping. Happy Bidding!!!

I feel grading 78 records as well as 33’s and 45’s are a matter of personal opinion to a certain degree. The VJM 78 Grading System in my opinion is the most accurate grading system I have come across.

The VJM 78 Grading System Is As Follows

N As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).

N– 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 lustre of a new record, few light scratches.

V+ is an 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.

A Note to my EBay Customers regarding DSR Ratings:

This is probably the most misunderstood of all the new eBay policies ... for Buyers and for Sellers! EBay tells Buyers that 4 stars, out of the maximum 5, are wonderful. EBay tells Sellers that 4 stars are terrible! EBay ''reminds'' Buyers that, since the stars are anonymous, YOU can be HONEST. You can! That is always your right, but you should have all the information and eBay isn't supplying that to you.

It is reasonable for a Buyer to assume that giving a seller a 4 Star rating is ''Good”, but eBay's New feedback system treats anything less than a 5 Star as sub-standard and penalizes sellers. If DSR ratings fall below 4.6, EBay will begin to restrict a seller’s listings.

I strive for 5 star service all around. Please consider leaving 5 stars in the detailed seller‘s ratings whenever possible and if you can’t, please let me know why, so I can improve upon it.
