Description

Here’s classic Ellington.  The Duke and his men recorded his and Bubber Miley’s “Black and Tan Fantasy” and “What Can a Poor Fellow Do?” on November 3, 1927.  Wear, some scratches, plays fine.  Condition V+

NOTE: I grade records by a rating system that has been standard in the industry for decades.  Still, it can be a subjective undertaking.  I am more likely to grade by how the record reproduces aurally (I use a 78 Shure cartridge with a 1950s Voice of Music turntable that has been fit into a 1946 Magnavox Belvedere radio-phonograph) than by how it looks visually.  Sometimes a record that appears substantially worn plays very well and sometimes the opposite is true.
