Description

Carter Brothers and Son
Vocalion 5349
Nancy Rowland/Cotton Eyed Joe
VV+ (between V and V+)
This copy has a pressing issue that is difficult to identify visually, but causes the needle to continuously skip forward on both sides when played with a regular tracking force of 1.5-2.0g. However, I have found this problem can be avoided with added weight (at least 3.0g) and anti-skate adjustment. The needle will wobble slightly, but has no effect on play.
There are large white stickers on both labels that usually indicate file copies, though this is obviously not a file copy. I’m not sure what the story is here.

I am an experienced collector and occasional dealer of 78s. My grading is conservative and records are shipped safely and securely. Please check out my other listings as I will combine winnings to save on postage.
