 RARE Blues 78
 Birmingham Alabama
BILL REESE RHYTHM KINGS  Featuring Tommy BLIND TOM Malone on Vocals
PENNANT 334

WHISKEY OL WHISKEY / I GOTTA FIND MY BABY
Record is a high gloss E (Baby side) and  E- (Whiskey side), plays loud and clear with light background.  Ol Whiskey has very light wear visible under bright light or it'd be E as well.  Could use a light cleaning.
   *If you search youtube you should be able to find a 45 rpm transfer of this rare record.  The 45 has only appeared once on ebay, 78 never till this one


No matter the price or number, records are always packed with extreme care.

GRADING

I like the VJM grading system for 78 RPM records:

  • 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+. 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 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.
  • G. Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
  • G-. Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.
  • F. Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
  • P. Unplayable
