Arthur Crudup was a Delta song writer and performer. He unfortunately spent most of his adult life fighting to get royalties on the hits he wrote that others performed. Crudup reworked the lyrics to "I Don't Know" to become "That's Alright" - a HUGE hit for Elvis Presley - and Rock and Roll was born.
A Fantastic Piece Mississippi Blues / Rock and Roll History - both songs are solid loud rockers!!
I am a long time and established 78 collector. These records are from my personal collection - see my other listings for great 78s.
I inspect each record visually and by test playing - Staton 500 with 3.5 mil Eliptical stylus. Played on Dynaco Tube Amp and preamp. Bass and Treble set at middle. Played in mono on Rek-o-Kut Model CVS.
Payment should be via PayPal, and must be completed within FIVE days. Shipping will be by USPS Media Mailing.   All of my packaging of fragile 78's is done safely by sandwiching the records between sturdy Cardboard (2 layers per side) and surrounding it with padding before placing it in a Cardboard box surrounded by packing peanuts, and the Box is Stamped FRAGILE.     ****Higher priced items over $500.00 will be double boxed and will require insurance and additional shipping charges. ****Please wait for my invoice before payment.  ****If you do not want insurance on a record shipment you must expressly communicate this to me and take all risks for breakage or damage in shipping.
I have set a very reasonable opening minimum and No Reserve and will let it go from there. Best of Luck on your bidding.  PLEASE ask questions if you have any before placing bids.
On 78 Record Grading: Accurately grading 78 records can be difficult. The VJM 78 Grading System in my opinion is the most accurate grading system. I am very conservative in the grading - providing full photos of both sides, close up of labels, and videos of both sides played all the way through on each record.  *****Understand the videos and sound are from a Galaxy phone on a stand - no other filters or EQ. Quality is not at professional standards but you will hear both sides of the record****
The VJM 78 Grading System Is As Follows N As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed). N? Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage. E+ Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets. E Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches. E- Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches. V+ is an average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced. V Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive. V- Quite playable still, but distortion and possible heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level. G+ Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches. Music level higher than surface noise. G Quite seriously worn and scratched, music level is even or slightly lower than surface noise. F Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now very uncomfortable. Filler copy or wall hanger.
