You are bidding on: THE BLACK BIRDS OF PARADISE - Muddy Water b/w Sugar!
label: Gennett 6211
record condition: POOR There are two cracks in the disc. The first extends from the outer edge into the label area, but does not hit the spindle hole. The second is about 2 inches in length on the outer edge. The longer crack has some play to is and is audible on every rotation. The smaller crack is tight but may still be audible. There is a severe gouge at the beginning of the a-side that renders the first 10 seconds unplayable (see photos). Both sides are heavily worn with deep scratches.
We were able to play the record with a cheap nu-mark portable record player. The music is audible but behind a heavy haze of hiss and wear with the click of the full crack audible throughout on both sides. The beginning of the a-side would not play because of the gouge in the disc, but the rest of the track did play.
label condition: SEE PHOTO
