Description

Emile Berliner Gramophone issue #404- Laughing Song- George Johnson. rare 7 inch record from the dawn of recorded disks Historically significant as George Johnson is considered the first African American to make a record, and this one dates from the 1890s. Hard to believe it is from 2 centuries ago! Grades about V, some wear but very playable. Graded by using a modern turntable with a 3 mil stylus and 45 years of experience. Shipping by media mail may be combined to save $ as I have other early rarities listed. $4 for packing to be added for new boxes, cardboards, etc. Only one charge for combo shipping.
