For your consideration with NO RESERVE,  comes this SCARCE 1917 HOT JAZZ 78 rpm record by ORIGINAL DIXIELAND JASS BAND, recorded on the VICTOR Record label, #18255. This is widely recognized as the 1st Jazz recording, with a "pre-jazz" credit in the Band's name and A side title, "Jass" instead of "Jazz". Most of the copies I've seen have the correct Band's name spelling.

 

SIDE 1: "DIXIE JASS BAND ONE STEP"--(Shellac retains gloss and grades V or a tad better, label shows moderate wear and center hole wear.) Plays with background noise but sounds pretty darn good for being 97 years old!

 

SIDE 2: "LIVERY STABLE BLUES"---(Shellac retains gloss and grades V or a tad better, label shows moderate wear and center hole wear.)

 

SELLER'S NOTE: WE PACK VERY SECURELY AND HAVE SHIPPED RARE/COMMON 78's ALL OVER THE WORLD AND GUARANTEE THAT YOUR RECORD WILL SAFELY ARRIVE. I HAVE CREATED THE "UNSHAKEABLE" BOX, AND HAVE TESTED THIS PACKING METHOD WITH IMPACTS ON CONCRETE TO ENSURE SAFETY DURING TRANSIT.

 

 WE USE THE STANDARD VJM GRADING SCALE FOR 78 RPM RECORDS:

 


 

Grade Record N As new and un-played (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be un-played). 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 luster of a new record, few light scratches. V+ 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. V- Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy graying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level. G+ Gray 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.
