Great 1929 String Band sides in Columbia's 15000 series.

V+ nice glossy surface with only wear, mostly scuffs and incidental scratches.  Record plays great, just check out the sound clip!


Item will be packed with appropriate care to ensure safe delivery.  Please note my feedback as a seller, I ship many 78s in deep boxes with proper shock absorption.  I know the feeling of receiving an eagerly anticipated record in a shallow box or glorified envelope.  Won't happen with me.


 Be sure and check out my other records!


I'm listing several other rare string band records such as this one
EE Hack, and Humphries Brothers, as well as some nice blues
and Dave Macon type records this week that will end Friday and Saturday

SHIPPING: PLEASE NOTE $6 SHIPPING AND CONSIDERATE HANDLING within U.S. VIA MEDIA MAIL, INCLUDES TRACKING AND PACKAGING COST.  Records over $100 will normally be upgradeded Priority Mail at no extra charge.  Priority mail is always an option at Buyer request, usually under $12. I pack the 78 to float safely in in a sleeve between two slats of cardboard, surrounded by bubble wrap and/or peanuts/newspaper, floating in a roughly 12x12x6 box.  Firm but not to the point of fearing for the record's well being.  I don't tape the edges of records. I reuse boxes and packing materials but will use new materials at buyer request.  Will be shipped via Media Mail, with tracking #, buyer pays insurance for purchases over $35, insurance is at buyer request below that amount.

I like the VJM grading system for 78 RPM records:

• 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+. 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.
• 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 now uncomfortable.
• P. Unplayable
