78 Album by Woody Guthrie, Cisco Houston, Josh White & The Union Boys, "Songs For Victory Music For Political Action", On Asch
The records are in excellent condition. (See Photo)
The Union Boys--Burl Ives, Tom Glazer, Alan Lomax, Brownie McGhee, Pete Seeger, Sonny Terry, and Josh White--was a high powered group brought into the studio in March 1944 by Alan Lomax (1915-2002) to record a number of labor-oriented songs. They never performed publicly as a group. Some of the songs were issued by Asch Records as Songs For Victory, including U.A.W.-C.I.O., written by Butch Hawes, that once again tied together union organizing, in this case the United Automobile Workers, and victory over Germany, combined with a slight history of the union.
The shellac on all is in E - E+ condition. All three disks look like they have been lightly played.
The cover is in excellent condition. Cover shows a little overall wear, otherwise in excellent condition. All the paper sleeves are intact. (See Photo)

Grading
My grading system for 78 records is the N,E,V,G system.
The following definitions for this system are from Docks Record Guides.
New (N) : Apparently unplayed and showing no signs of wear.
Excellent (E): Showing only slight wear.
Playing surfaces still retain much of their original shine.
Surface noise is minimal.
Very Good (V): Somewhat more worn than an excellent record,
slight grayness appearing in the grooves, especially in louder passages.
Still a fairly clean and acceptable copy.
Surface and extraneous noise is noticeable, but does not overwhelm the music.
Good (G): A misnomer. A “good” record is really not so good.
It shows considerable wear and usage, grayness in the grooves,
random mars and light abrasions from a sleeveless existence.
Surface noise is prominent enough to impair enjoyment of the music.
Fair (F) and Poor (P) indicate the lowest grades of the condition code.
Since only the rarest records would be saleable in these grades, they appear infrequently.
Plus and minus signs are often suffixed to above grades to indicate a somewhat better or worse grade, when appropriate.
Packing & Shipping
All records are professionally packed. I use oversize new boxes. I tape two cardboard mailers, one on each side of the record. I put plenty of bubblewrap over that and then pack it in the oversize box using crumpled newspaper as cushion.
