MISSISSIPPI JOHN HURT OKeh 8724 Pre-War BLUES 78 RPM

$

6,778

 Up for auction is an extremely nice 78 RPM copy ( E to E+) of blues legend Mississippi John Hurt's  brilliant tunes "Louis Collins" /"Got The Blues Can't Be Satisfied'".  This 78 was released on the Okeh label and is Okeh 8759 in 1928 for those of you keeping score. The 78 still has its original Okeh Electric sleeve.

The 78 retains most of its gloss (near full) but there are minor imperfections noticeable such as a few extremely light sleeve scuff marks and a very small millimeter dent mark. The Okeh labels are both very well preserved. These minor imperfections do not take away from the listening pleasure however and in fact rival that of recordings found on even the nicest reissues! Hence, only very light surface noise is heard. There are no pops or skips. I think the winning bidder will be pleased!

This is the second (and last) Mississippi John Hurt 78 I am offering, so don't miss out!

I promise to pack this 78 with well with extreme care though shipping insurance is obviously recommended.
I ship Worldwide! Please note my honest and reasonable shipping rates. *Shipping for this item, a 78rpm record, is: US: $5.00; Canada: $8.00; Mexico: $9.00; Rest of World: $13.00.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have pertaining to this auction or my other auctions. I am also selling around a dozen  Pre-War Okeh 78s (blues, jazz and gospel) from my personal collection this week and in the near future so take a look!
Thanks and Good luck!

2/9/07: There has been a few questions regarding further clearification of  the "dent mark" as described in both of the Mississippi John Hurt 78s I have up for auction. When I bought the two Hurt 78s, they were in the same box. This is the reason why the descriptions of the two are nearly identical. They revealed to have a strikingly similar "dent" or "pit" mark. As 78 collectors know, the sheer age and after years of improper storage, and even the environment, 78s  often develop pits or dents on the shellac. Both of these 78s just have 1 dent each. I'm not sure what caused it on each, but rest assured, it does not affect play. They really do look as though they had been barely played.
If you wish to hear the 78s please contact me and we can try to make arrangements.
Thanks again and I hope this clears things up a bit, -Z
