Description
This record grades about E-/E condition .This is the last of the King Oliver Gennetts (sold to me as store stock,New minus) in the late 1970s by Will Roy Hearne, famous collector and dealer from Los Angeles..This disc,although having an excellent playing surface,has a couple small rubs on one label and a couple very small light surface marks on one side, all that keeps it from being E+. I paid handsomely for these in 1977 and actually flew all the way to LA to pick these up and have dinner with Mr. Hearne and his wife..Didn't trust the post office in those days..He had these since the 1930s or so and advertised some for sale in a 1945 issue of Record Changer which I was reading in 1977 and took a chance to see if he still had anything left..Got a phone number and made a deal to buy the last two he had...thus the trip...I have played this twice since l977.
It comes with the original Gennett sleeve in nice shape after 86 years...This was one of the first few recordings made at the first recording session of Louis Armstrong in Richmond, Indiana.
,E-,VG++,VG+,VG,VG-,G+......Highest to lowest for 78s.I only use E or E+ when the record looks new and unplayed or perfect.E- or indeed VG++ are very close to perfect and will be more than satisfactory to discerning collectors.
All 78s will be packed between 4 cardboard squares and boxed professionally with insulation to guarantee safe delivery.
Changes to eBay store pricing only: Please note...Ebay mandated shipping cuts due to some uninformed decision grouping all "media" items as one.."New CDs are the same as old 78s for the purpose of cutting shipping charges by sellers". This is unfair and created a lot of problems for sellers such as myself...eBAY automatically has ended all the thousands of items I had in my ebay store for the last few years, and caused me to hurriedly relist them ,to force sellers to "change/reduce " the shipping charge. We all know I cannot ship priority well boxed and packed with saftey cardbords and peanuts for $4.00 which is their mandate (confused with a single CD or DVD.sale). On multiple sales I will still consolidate shipping charges.....and adjust your totals if necessary......All New items listed in the eBay store will be priced differently for shipping and if you wait for my invoice first, I'll change the rate to $8.00 priority,and $5.00 media when I send out the invoice...IF you pay BEFORE getting my invoice, there will be no adjustments made.All priority items listed at $4.00 will have a $4.00 handling charge added to equal $8.00 fee required. Thank you.
IMPORTANT: Disregard shipping charges in listing.They are due to eBay's new calculated rates which I cannot control...Do not pay until you receive an invoice.You will be invoiced $8.00 for priority and $5.00 for media for single items in the US...Combined shipping will be as it has been.
Some changes in domestic shipping costs due to eBay's new system have been posted These are superceded by the above statement in RED..
Our excellent shipping and packaging will continue to be of the highest standard.
