Description
Purchased these recently from an old estate. Most are from the 1920's thru to the 1940's and include the following twelve reocords:
1. The Flat Foot Floogee & Caravan (Decca 1938) with the Mills Brothers, 2. All Of Me & Home (Okeh), 3. Body and Soul & You Can Depend On Me (Parlophone), 4. Lyin to Myself & Ev'ntide (Decca blue), 5. Solitude & Thanks A Million (Decca blue), 6. Struttin' With Some Barbecue & Once In A While (Columbia, recorded 1927, released 1947), 7. Skokiann Part I and II (Decca), 8. When It's Sleepy Time Down South & It's All In The Game (Decca black), 9. When It's Sleepy Time Down South & I Surrender Dear (Vocalion) 10. Shoe Shine Boy & I Hope Gabriel Likes my Music (Decca blue), 11. I Got Rhythm & You Can Depend On Me (Decca blue), 12. Surrender Dear & Confession (Volalion),
None of the records have original sleeves. Ten of the records are in a brown vintage hard cover album book (see photos). Two of the albums will come packaged separately without original covers.
I am not a professional grader but some of the albums seem almost new while others have some light scuffing. They generally seem to have been well cared for and there are no deep scratches or damage and the labels are sharp. The one exception is an edge chip on "I Hope Gabriel Loves My Music" that just reaches the edge of the record grooves. I played a couple and they sounded like what I expected an old 78 should sound like with no skips or issues. I assigned grades of VG+ but you decide from the pics. My grades are purely my opinion based on criteria I have read but I have no experience here.
Note: The photos do not show two of the records; the chipped one and another that is generally in the condition as those shown. I included these two in the auction as an afterthought.
