Robert Johnson—“6-Eye” Delta Blues Singer Columbia CL 1654 VG+/VG++ (mono)
The Vinyl
The six-eye Columbia labels are M- with no writing and no noticeable wear, etc. The record looks a bright and shiny VG+, and plays the same, with a few marks on the records that generally do not affect play, although some songs do have slight noise in a couple of spots; in some cases, it is due to original recording; in some cases, a few pops from the slight surface marks.

Goldmine Seller Crap. No reserve. Minimum bids are my original cost basis unless noted (gotta pay taxes!). Records, when play graded, are graded using my Ruby 3 BMicro Benz cartridge on my Rockport "Sirius" turntable with a Benz Lukashek phono line stage. All records are guaranteed; I'll pay postage both ways if you are not satisfied. Records not paid for within 7 days (absent consentual communication with buyers) will be offered to next highest bidder if I can still bear to part with the particular item that is advertised for sale.
