Description
I'm a long time collector, but new to eBay. I will be listing several additional Fat's Domino and other early rock' n roll 78 and 45 RPM records. If you're not happy with the record, return it within 14 days for a full refund. This is a beautiful copy of arguably the first rock’ n roll record. Both sides have a full glossy finish and play great. I grade “The Fat Man” as E (very close to E+) and it has the slightest handling scuff or two. “Detroit City Blues” is E- and has a few surface scratches and scuffs. Labels are as pictured, and item will be shipped in a vintage Imperial sleeve.
Packaging
All 78s will be packed between cardboard squares and shipped in a sturdy box with additional packing materials.
Shipping
US only. First record is $4.00. I will combine items of like size for an additional $1.00 per record. For priority mail, the first record is $8.00 and $2.00 for each additional record.
I only accept PayPal.
Grades are based as follows:
N-
Looks as new with no evidence of play; this is the highest grade that is generally used.
E+
Full gloss surface; looks as new but with a very few light handling marks.
E
Very clean, glossy surface with no visible signs of wear; may have some superficial surface scratches or some minor surface marks which should be inaudible.
E-
Clean, reasonably glossy surface but will have the first visible signs of wear and may also have some light surface scratches, light to moderate rubs and light scuffs.
V+
Surface will have some gloss but the record will have moderate wear and may also have some moderate surface scratches and light to moderate scuffs.
V
Not much gloss remaining with moderate to heavy wear and may also have significant surface scratches and scuffs.
V-
Dull surface and likely to have significant surface noise from heavy wear, scratches and scuffs.
G
Completely dull surface and likely to have considerable surface noise from very heavy wear, scratches and scuffs.
Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.
