Description

Up for auction is a 78 rpm record by Rufus “Hound Dog” Thomas Jr. on Sun label. (# 181)

 

The sides are Bear Cat / Walking In The Rain.

 

This record has retained almost, if not all, of it’s original gloss. I have just played it on my Rek O Kut Restoration Deck and it sounds like it was just purchased.

 

There is a slight 2mm warp that does not affect appearance, tracking or sound at all and also a few sleeve scuffs. The labels are in excellent condition with no spindle wear.

 

A family member, an avid jukebox collector, has recently decided to part with his large R&B / Rock & Roll record collection. These records have been in climate-controlled storage since the early 70’s and have not been on a turntable platter for almost 40 years until now to archive & to test their playability.

 

I found the following grading system online…

  • NM = near new condition
  • E = barely played, extremely close to near new condition
  • VG = played, but not abused condition, should play very well, may have light scratches, scuffs
  • G = well played, but should play pretty well, will have deeper scratches, scuff; may have some background noise, scratches, scuffs, wear
  • P = well used, pretty bad condition, lots of background noise

I will conservatively grade the sound as E and the wax as VG+.

 

As a very frequent buyer (and a new seller) of 78 rpm records, I have seen the correct way and unfortunately, several incorrect ways of packing these fragile items.

This record will be very securely packaged for shipment.

 

You will not be disappointed!
