Description
I collect 78s and listen to them. I know how to grade them and ship them. These are excellent records I'm culling from my shelfs, not junk. Expect sleeves in groups to be generic or mismatched. Yep, they're heavy and fragile and require special packing. I ship 78s in 12x12x6 boxes minimum, sandwiched between sheets of styrofoam and floated in packing peanuts, no flimsy mailers here. USPS Priority recommended for singles and doubles. Overseas shipping will be expensive as I will only ship 78s outside the US USPS International Priority so they can be tracked and spend as little time in transit as possible. Only had one 78 broken in over 500 shipped, but insurance is MANDATORY, so figure it into your bidding.
Mixed Up Rag / Old Mill Blues ~ Will Ezell PARAMOUNT 12688. This record is heavily worn and I grade it merely as G, but it is a rare record as a Paramount pressing by this blues pianist. Background is equal or greater than music and there is a skip on Mixed Up Rag due to a heavy groove dig.
