Description

 Up for auction is an extremely nice 78 RPM copy ( E to E+) of pre-war blues legend Mississippi John Hurt's  brilliant tunes "Avalon Blues" /"Ain't No Tellin'".  This 78 was released on the Okeh label and is Okeh 8759 in 1928 for those of you keeping score. The 78 still has its original Okeh Electric sleeve.

The 78 retains most of its gloss (near full) but there are minor imperfections noticeable such as a few extremely light sleeve scuff marks and a very small millimeter dent mark. The Okeh labels are both very well preserved. These minor imperfections do not take away from the listening pleasure however and in fact rival that of recordings found on even the nicest reissues! Hence, only very light surface noise is heard. There are no pops or skips. I think the winning bidder will be pleased!


I promise to pack this 78 with well with extreme care though shipping insurance is obviously recommended.
I ship Worldwide! Please note my honest and reasonable shipping rates. *Shipping for this item, a 78rpm record, is: US: $5.00; Canada: $8.00; Mexico: $9.00; Rest of World: $13.00.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have pertaining to this auction or my other auctions. I am also selling around a dozen  Pre-War Okeh 78s (blues, jazz and gospel) from my personal collection this week and in the near future so take a look!
Thanks and Good luck!
