Description
This is for the record pictured here.
Decca 18093B...18093A.
Artist: Zutty Singleton.
Songs: No. 7...King Porter Stomp. No. 8...Shim-Me-Sha-Wabble.
This is for just the one record you see pictured here.
I see that the use of the word "rare" seems to be the popular way to list many items, however, when I type in an item listed as "rare" and see that there are literally thousands of them available I have to believe that the word is probably mis-used...at the very least.
However, I think that when an item may be difficult to find in its exact form, or found in relatively very small numbers, well then, perhaps it would be better described as "hard to find"...and this particular record here is a likely candidate for that classification.
What you will notice if you look carefully, is that not only is it a "Hard to Find" record by a gentleman named "Zutty Singleton" ...but take a close look at the record side numbered "8"...you will see that the gold border on the label is mis-printed and way off to the right.
Now, I have looked and written to collectors for the past 6 weeks and so far, this record seems to be the only one that collectors have seen with the off-center label. That is not to say that it is a "Museum" item...but it is "different" and more desirable than the non-error printed ones.
I don't expect to be able to buy a waterfront home in Florida with the sale of this record, but a few cases of baby Budweisers would be wonderful. So think about it and do what makes you happy.
Keep in mind that the shipping will be confined to the Continental USA and it will travel at about 2 miles per hour via the amazing USPS "Media Mail" system.
Thank you all for viewing.
