BLUES 78 rpm 10” ACETATE: FLOYD DIXON The River RADIO RECORDERS (Aladdin 3144)
This Soundcraft acetate is from Radio Recorders in Hollywood, where this song was recorded on July 18, 1952, according to The Blues Discography 1943-1970, although the date on the acetate is July 21, 1952 (meaning either the acetate was made three days later or the date in the discography is wrong). This was subsequently released as Aladdin 3144 (matrix number RR 1959 10; the number R-3981 is also written on the label). Personnel: Dixon, Maxwell Davis, Roy Hayes, Walter Champion and Bugs Daniel. Some of the lacquer is flaked off the edge but the grooves of the music are intact, VG+. There is no music on the reverse side, only a Soundcraft label.
10-inch 78. Will be shipped in a box cushioned with packing material.
See record grading codes below.
Combined shipping available on multiple purchases.
I have many more records, CDs, magazines and memorabilia listed at my eBay store, BluEsoterica.com Mail Order.

N (new) or M (mint): New and unplayed. NM or N- (near mint): Nearly same as M but played a few times. or showing minimal storage wear.
E+: plays almost like new, with very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
E (excellent): Still very shiny, near new looking with few or no visible signs of groove wear but may have a few inaudible scuffs.
E-: still shiny, but without the luster of a new record. Very little wear, plays distortion-free. May have a few minor scuffs.
V+ or VG+: An "average" looking 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free of distortion. Surface noise still not pronounced.
V or VG (very good): Moderate, even wear throughout but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not too intrusive.
V- or VG- = quite playable; may have some distortion in louder passages but music remains loud in most places. Surface noise from wear and scratches are below music level.
G+: gray throughout or quite scuffed but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled.
G (good): quite worn/damaged, but surface noise still below music level. Listenable.
G-: Music muffled from wear but still exceeds surface noise.
F+: Music remains audible over surface noise but listening uncomfortable.
F (fair): Surface noise is as loud as the music.
P (poor): unplayable.
[+ and ? denote in-between grades. Grades with a slash in between indicate the condition of Side A/Side B.]
Note: Some 78s look mint or near mint and may be graded so, but may play with some surface noise due to poor quality pressing material.
