Description
Columbia 10-inch 78 RPM record # 15138-D is "Good-Bye Booze" and "Budded Rose" by Charlie Poole with the North Carolina Ramblers. According to Tony Russell's "Country Music Records", both sides were recorded in New York in September, 1926.
The record still has some shine to it, but with visible surface scuffs and scratches and dull spots. Both sides played through without jumping or repeating on my Audio-Technica turntable, but with different levels of background noise. "Budded Rose" presented a short passage of ticking near the beginning, then settled into a steady level of background noise that I would consider typical for a record of this age - audible, maybe slightly annoying, but not overwhelming. "Good-bye Booze" has more surface wear, including the start of a hairline crack at the edge, and a couple of nasty little needle digs near the beginning, both of which cause short passages of heavy ticking. Other than that, it plays through with more background noise than "Budded Rose", but still not enough to overwhelm the music. Because of variations in tracking ability, filtering technology and needle weights, I can offer no guarantees as to how well it will play on your equipment.
Also included is the Columbia sleeve shown in the pictures, but it is torn and creased and chipped and does not add to the overall value.
International Buyers – Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges. We won't under-value merchandise or mark the item as a gift on customs forms. Doing that is against U.S. and international laws.
COMBINED SHIPPING: See our seller list for other interesting and unusual items, in fact bid on several and you might save on shipping and handling. If you buy multiple items, and if it's feasible and cost-effective for us to ship the items together, we will gladly consider requests to combine shipping at a reduced cost. Just e-mail us, and we can provide combined shipping cost estimates on a case-by-case basis. Depending on weight and other considerations, we typically offer full shipping rate for the first item, then 50 cents or $1.00 per item. And if you are purchasing multiple items, please make the payment as a single payment, rather than trying to pay for each item separately. Oh, and this may sound obvious, but we can't reduce the shipping charges for items on which we offer free shipping.INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING COSTS: If the eBay auto-calculator is not responding, or if you think our shipping costs are too high, please contact us prior to bidding to determine your shipping options and costs. Repeat, prior to bidding, please.
FEEDBACK: Because of abuses we've experienced in the past, we have totally given up on the eBay feedback system, so we neither give nor expect feedback. Please, therefore, do not contact us after the auction asking us to leave feedback. If you ever have a problem with an item you purchase from us, please contact us directly about it before giving negative feedback or seller ratings, and especially before invoking eBay's dreaded Grand Tribunal in processes like "Return Requests" or "Opening an Item Not as Described Case." No one is perfect, and we occasionally mis-describe something, or an item arrives late or gets damaged in the mail, but we are always quick to respond to a problem and set it straight in the most mutually agreeable way.
