Description
GREAT 1920s GUITAR GOSPEL from the two Gospel Keys. They had been singing together 40 years, according to the notes. Two 78s. The notes are proof copies sent to Rudi Blesh -- some of his notes are in the margins. The Keys recorded for Apollo and Red Robin slightly later. Set is in near perfect shape. Discs are E+
From the Rudi Blesh collection-- Rudi was a pioneer jazz and piano blues collector, author and record producer: He wrote Shining Trumpets, an early history of jazz, They All Played Ragtime and several other books. He also ran the Circle label which rediscovered blues pianists like JH (Mr Freddie) Shayne; Montana Taylor, Cripple Clarence Lofton and recreated 1920s classic blues sessions with Chippier Hill, Sippi Wallace etc. He also produced the first commercial issue of Jelly Roll Morton's Library of Congress recordings.

WE have ACQUIRED a collection of excellent blues and gospel which I will be selling along with country records from the Blaesing collection.
We have acquired one of the world's most significant pre-war country collections from Mark Blaesing. He was meticulous about condition and many of his records are E and E+ with many from dealer stock copies. Mark also collected bluegrass and we will be offering these as well.
The VJM Record Grading System is an internationally-used and recognized system for grading both 78s and LPs. It is used by virtually all serious record dealers and collectors alike, with an easily understood sequence of letters to show grades and a system of abbreviations to show faults and damage. ?The VJM Record Grading System.N (78) As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).N- (78) Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.E+ (78) Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.E (78) Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.E- (78) Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches. LP: Some wear, scratches and scuffs, but no skipped or repeat grooves.V+ (78) 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. LP: Below average with scuffs and scratches on fewer than half the tracks. No skips or repeat grooves.V (78) Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.V- (78) Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy graying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level. LP: Lowest Grade. Audible scratches, etc. on more than half the tracks. Listening uncomfortable.G+ (78). Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.G (78). Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.G- (78). Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.P (78).
