Description

Condition Report (READ CAREFULLY):

This record is being sold in untested, as-found condition.

• Visual Grade: The disc maintains a good surface gloss but is currently dirty/dusty and shows fingerprints. It will require a professional cleaning to reach its full potential.

• Physical Condition: Based on visual inspection, there appear to be no cracks, chips, or deep "feelable" scratches.

• Labels: Both the A and B side labels are bright and clear with minimal wear.

• Testing: This record has not been play-tested. As it is a 78 RPM shellac disc from 1939, some surface noise (hiss/crackle) should be expected.


This is an original 1939 pressing of "Strange Fruit," one of the most culturally significant recordings of the 20th century. Recorded for the independent Commodore label after Columbia Records declined to produce it, this disc is a cornerstone of jazz and civil rights history.


Shipping & Handling:

• Safe Packaging: 78 RPM records are extremely brittle. I will pack this with "sandwich" cardboard bracing and double-boxing to ensure it arrives safely.

• Shipping: Ships with tracking and insurance.
