This current grouping of 78 RPM singles concludes my rock and roll related portion. My gratitude to all who competed in the bidding. Please keep my ebay listings marked, as I will continue with some great 78 listings once again, hopefully around beginning of November. These will include some incredible Blues (mostly post war), vintage Jazz and a mixture of vintage country to include Western Swing, Hillbilly, Honky Tonk and Country Blues. Meanwhile I will continue listing other vinyl and CD items around several vacation periods this Spring, summer and Fall when I take a lot of time away from ebay. Thank you so much.

Solid dance rocker from 1956 by innovative rockabilly singer Gene Vincent and His Blue Caps titled Crazy Legs b/w beautiful ballad titled Important Words. Original 78 RPM single issued on Capitol Records 3617, record is immaculate near mint in appearance and play performance with no extraneous noise and clear fidelity and dynamics! Label is near mint with minuscule spindle scuffs and record will come in heavy stock storage sleeve. About as clean a copy of this obscure rock gem as one can ever expect to find. Guaranteed as described and winner is obligated for shipping cost. Please visit my companion Gene Vincent and fifties rockabilly, popular, R&B and rock & roll related 78 RPM listings. Combine your wins and save on shipping cost. Overseas Priority mail shipping may be required on some items (includes free insurance and tracking). Thank you.

I don't mind rational inquiries and questions that are pertinent to my individual auction listings, but please, before contacting me with any question, read my entire item description and my auction related information. I will contact winning bidder, usually within 24 hours of auction close and provide shipping and payment details. Please, payments must be received within 14 days of my initial invoice providing total cost. I accept Paypal, but if Paypal is not a workable option for you, please contact me and other acceptable adaptations will be welcome.

COMBINED SHIPPING - MULTIPLE BIDS POLICY - PLEASE READ

Yes, I am willing to combine wins to save you shipping cost. When you win multiple items please wait until I forward you an invoice with adjusted shipping savings prior to makeing payment. Please, if you win an item and want to combine future items, YOU ARE STILL OBLIGATED TO PAY YOUR FIRST WIN(S) INVOICE IN A TIMELY MANNER, I will hold your paid item(s) and credit your paid shipping cost accordingly on future invoice. All combined win periods are 14 days and I have a limit as to how high a value is on a parcel. It makes much more sense to package two boxes of high end 78's instead of risking shipping them all in one box.

RECORDS ARE PROFESSIONALLY PACKAGED

I do not skimp on packaging 78 RPM records. I do not use flat LP mailers for 78's. If it is only one record or a combined number, all are shipped in new wide boxes designed to accommodate stiff cardboard flats, reinforced cardboard corners, bubble wrap and packaging materials. At times I can ship 78's with albums, but I prefer not to. Packaged properly, one 78 RPM record parcel will weigh approximately two pounds.

RECORD GRADING FOR 78's
Bargain lot items are visually graded. Individual auction records are play graded. I place emphasis on play grade, maintain the highest professional standards, do spot check play grading on all individual auction items and always provide an accurate visual grade and label appearance. I play grade on a quality component system with Ek-O-Kut turntable and a Grado Prestige 78E Mono Pickup Cartridge, diamond stylus and 2-3 grams tracking force. I always keep my grading simple and fair and will not subject my customers to a proliferation of meaningless grades. If a record plays between two grades I always apply the lesser grade, I do not create a grade in an attempt to articulate a borderline evaluation. I do not use Docks grading definitions, I find them confusing and far too blurred for individual interpretations that may create grading disputes between seller and buyer.

nm....near mint, minimal to no surface noise and showing no major signs of wear. General groove appearance is excellent to like new and record has no imperfections.
vg+...very good plus, showing some signs of minor wear with minimal extraneous surface noise. No major imperfections. Grooves may have minor scuffs or surface scratches, at times a slight grayness, especially appearing in the louder passages. A very playable and acceptable copy.
vg....very good, somewhat worn and mishandled copy with audible extraneous surface noise. Grooves may have visual scuffs and scratches, light abrasions from sleeveless existence. Surface noise is prominent enough to impair or overwhelm music. Still a playable copy.
I do not auction poor condition 78''s with cracks, deep scratches, digs, severe edge chips, closed grooves or severely warped. I rarely list poor condition 78's, but at times will if it is a rare item. Poor 78's will generally have a below 50/50 ratio of surface noise over music and may have cracks, deep scratches, digs, edge chips and flake, flutter or warp factor and are sold as is. I do not artificially gloss any of my records.
