 MITCHELL 11363, JIMMY WADE'S MOULIN ROUGE ORCHESTRA, "You've Got Ways That I'm Crazy About" and "So Long To You and the Blues"

From Feb. 1924. This is an extremely rare record. Mitchell records are rare in their own right, yet records from the Chicago bandleader/cornetist Jimmy Wade are still rarer. This is one of his least-heard sides and has not been reissued, to my knowledge. Also note that the reverse is NOT by Jimmy Wade, but by an even more obscure white Chicago group, Al Siegel's Orchestra.

Condition of Side A:  VG/VG+, light  scuffs

Condition of Side B:  VG+, light  scuffs

Plays: VG/VG+

Condition of Labels: VG+

GRADING

NM-: Top condition, virtually unplayed, store stock.

E+: Like NM, but with some slight imperfections, maybe tiny scuffs.

E/E-: A step below E+. A few scratches, scuffs, maybe grainy surface. Still plays like E+. E- may have tiny greying in loud passages.

VG+: Still plays loudly, though surface noise is noticeably higher and there is greying in grooves (though slight) and some distortion on peak passages. Scratches and scuffs don't affect play.

VG: More scuffs, scratches, playing still strong, though somewhat more distorted than VG+. More greying in grooves. The average 78 rpm record.

VG-: Like VG, but noisier, maybe some stripped passages, more greying in grooves, but record still very listenable.

G+: Pretty grey grooves, dull surface, no luster, but record plays loud enough to be heard. A decent filler copy. Record will do good until a better one turns up.

G/G-: Solely a filler copy that may or may not play all the way through. Significant greying, music to noise ratio about 45/55.

F, P, etc.: These records are wall hangers and I almost never sell them unless they are extremely rare.
