Additional Info: Up for auction is an Aladdin 10" (33 rpm) Original from 1952,
Number 704, of Amos Milburn, titled: Rockin The Boogie with the
BLUE cover and BLACK vinyl. This is a rare record, listed among
the top 1,000 of the worlds rarest records! Goldmine price guide (
latest edition), lists it NM for $4,000. It has not surfaced for auction
for a couple of years -- this one comes out of our private collection.
The cover is still very glossy with intact laminate, all edges are
sharp and unfrayed, the back cover is clean, the only downside is
slight age yellowing around edges.
The vinyl is super glossy and has one small vinyl defect, a little
bump, and the 3rd song on side B, has been played more than the
others showing more wear than rest of disc. It still plays VG++.
There are super light pin marks, around 5 on side B, and one on
side A. I don't see anything I would call a scratch. The labels are
clean and bright and shiny. All plays at VG++ or better, with hardly
any surface noise. I have recorded two clips, both from side B, to allow
you to hear the 'lower grade' of the album, Listen to the clips. I'm sure
you will agree with me the sound quality is excellent.
I feel this copy is as near to 'near mint (NM)' you are going to find
for a record of this vintage.
REVISION: playing the album in full, we notice on side 1 in the last song,
after 2:00 min. mark, there is a click and a whoosh (loss of sound) which lasts
about 2 seconds. Inspecting the vinyl in this location, we don't see a reason
for it.
This is an extremely FINE copy of this super rare item. If you
don't have it yet -- this is your RARE opportunity to get it. You
don't want to miss this one for your collection this time around
as it rarely comes up for auction, and probably it is nearly
impossible to find a better example of it.
Thanks for Bidding and Good Luck! No Reserve!

GRADING
SS (Still Sealed): Album is still sealed in ORIGINAL factory shrink wrap, it is unopened, record and sleeve should be near mint.
M (Mint): Cover shows no signs of wear or rings, shrink wrap removed, but record never played, perfection. We seldom use this grade.
M- / NM (Near Mint): Cover shows very minor signs of wear, no creases, no rings or split seams, the record can have a few scuffs or tiny light scratches, but it plays perfectly with no surface noise, the label is clean and unmarked.
VG++ / EX (Excellent): Cover shows slight ring, corner creases or edge wear, no wrinkles, puckers or seam splits, no writing on cover. Disc should have 6 or less fine scratches or scuffs , may have writing on label, and should play with hardly any surface noise. The condition of this vinyl is excellent. No skips!
VG+ (Very Good Plus): Cover is clean and will have SOME of the following flaws: writing, creases, frayed corners, edge wear, stains, ring, split seams, but NOT all of these to retain this grade. If too many flaws, it gets downgraded to VG. The disc will typcially have scratches and scuffs, good lustre and can have writing on label, but not deep scratches/scuffs that significantly affect audio quality, there should not be any skips. If we detect a deep scratch it is normal we play-grade through the scratch, to ensure we are not selling vinyl that has a skip.
VG,G,F (Very Good, Good, Fair): You will only see this grade for the cover or disc (not both!), when one part of the item in question is in VG+ or better condition and especially collectible. The majority of our vinyl has VG+ or better grade. Flaws will be noted with the grade.
