Description
From the beginning era of Bluebird Records. Bluebird was started out in 1932, as a budget label for RCA Victor, trying to counter other label's 3-for-a-dollar pricing. This however is not your normal Bluebird style label (it's dark blue and black) and even has a different numbering scheme (starting off in the 1800 series). You just do not see there. EVER!
This is a split release with along a country line.
HANK HALL is on the A side of the record with "Frivolous 'Frisco Fan," which is from a session on January 9, 1933. This is very country sing that tells the story of a rough gal named Fran who's the west-coast equivalent of "Hard Hearted Hanna" and "Lousiville Lou." But we're promised that Fan is far more cruel and is the ultimate heart breaker. Hank is accompanied by just his guitar. He even works in a spectacular yodeling break in 2 spots.
BILL PALMER'S TRIO is on the B side with "Good Old Beer" from a session on December 29, 1932. He's shown as SLICK PALMER. The song is hopeful about the repeal of Prohibition, which would come a year later on December 5, 1933 when the The 21st Amendment is ratified, repealing the 18th Amendment bringing back alcohol in America.
It plays through well and is very audible at volume but has heavy background static. Visually based off of the scale on eBay and our grading scale this record would be a G. You can carefully examine the pictures and get a good idea of the condition. It does not skip and plays through both sides but It has some "feel able" scratches and one in particular at the last 45 seconds of side a that causes a static tic for 20-30 seconds.
I have handled millions of records in my lifetime and have a warehouse with a few hundred thousand. This is the first Bluebird of this series I have ever personally came across and personally handled. These are extremely scarce and I have only seen a few ever come up on eBay.
Condition as shown above in item specifics.

VINYL GRADING SCALE
STILL SEALED (SS)
Mint (M) Perfect in every way. Never been played, possibly even still sealed. We usually won't grade this unless we really mean it.
Near Mint (NM or M-) A nearly perfect record. The record should show no obvious signs of wear.
Very Good Plus (VG+) This will show some signs that it was played and handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. The vinyl surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't greatly affect one's listening experiences. Very light warps that do not affect the sound or tracking may be present. The label may have some light ring wear or discoloration.
Very Good (VG) Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced for this grade. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in quiet passages or during a song's intro and fade, they will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that may affect the sound. The label may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and should play through without skipping. It will have significant surface noise, scratches and visible groove wear. Labels will have heavy wear. (If its is a vinyl you have been seeking for years, and the price is right, get it...but look to upgrade down the road)
JACKET GRADING SCALE:
STILL SEALED (SS) Even though a record is sealed the jacket may still have wear. This can result in a grade such as (SS VG+) (This means it is sealed but maybe it has some light ring wear from sitting for years or a very small cut in it somewhere.)
Mint (M) Perfect in every way.
Near Mint (NM or M-) A nearly perfect jacket. It should show no obvious signs of wear. The cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. Definitely no cut-out holes.
Very Good Plus (VG+) Jacket will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. Possible a well-repaired seam split that is no longer highly noticeable. The jacket may have slight signs of ring wear, or may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.
Very Good (VG) The jacket can have any of the defects listed in VG+. It may have a little larger seam splits then the VG+ jacket could have. The jacket may also be marred by writing, or have tape, stickers, or their residue attached. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them. It may have larger seam splits that are carefully repaired and nearly un-noticeable.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+) The jacket will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the look of jacket.
Poor (P), Fair (F) The jacket can be water damaged, split on all three seams, heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves (if original) are fully seam split, crinkled, and written upon. This could also have heavily repaired seam splits with tape.
