Description
Two fun sides on pretty yellow label.
Looks V, decent shine left, with some groove wear. Still plays strong with some background, slight distorting at the top of the notes but still a good listen!
**There is a flake into the first 2 grooves on Going Where the Sugar Cane Grows side, a few grooves BEFORE the spoken intro starts, hand placement of needle would be recommended. Both sides play through fine.
Aint No Bugs on Me touches on two hot topics (from wikipedia) :
Carson made a pun relating to the KKK in "There Ain't no bugs on me ("The night was dark and driz'ly an' the air was full of sleet, m' ol' man join'd the Klu Klux an' ma she lost 'er sheet"), and was a regular at Ku Klux Klan rallies.
Carson made light of the evolution controversy in "There Ain't No Bugs on Me" when he said: "monkeys swing by the end o' thar tail an' jump from tree to tree thar may be monkey in some o' you guys, but thar ain't no monkey in me".[24]
No matter the price or number, records are always packed with extreme care.

GRADING
I like the VJM grading system for 78 RPM records:
- N. As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
- N-. Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
- E+. Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
- E . Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
- E-. Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.
- V+. An average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced
- V. Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
- V-. Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages.Music remains loud in most passages.Surface noise and scratches well below music level.
- G+. Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
- G. Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
- G-. Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.
- F. Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
- P. Unplayable
