Description
TEX EVANS "THE YODELING ALBERTAN" - THE SAD SONG OF THE PRAIRIE / THAT'S WHY I FELL IN LOVE. 10 INCH 78 RPM RARE CANADIAN COWBOY/HILLBILLY 78. BLUEBIRD B-4671. TEX EVANS CAME FROM A SMALL TOWN NORTHEAST OF EDMONTON, ALBERTA AND STARTED MAKING A NAME FOR HIMSELF WHEN HE DIED AT A RELATIVELY YOUNG AGE. THE STORY I GOT FROM AN OLD-TIMER, WHO KNEW TEX IS THAT HE SUCCUMBED AFTER HE ACCIDENTALLY DRANK KEROSENE, BELIEVING IT WAS MOONSHINE. ACCORDING TO MY SOURCE TEX DIED IN THE LATE FORTIES. THERE'S LITTLE INFORMATION ON THIS OBSCURE COWBOY SINGER. HIS STYLE IS SIMILAR TO WILF CARTER AND ALBERTA SLIM. EVANS WROTE BOTH TUNES. CANADIAN PRESSING. IF YOU'RE INTO RARE COWBOY AND HILLBILLY RECORDS THIS COULD BE A PRIZED (AND POSSIBLY VALUABLE) ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION.
THE RECORD IS IN VG ++ CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT SCUFFING AND LIGHT STACKING RUBS. IT STILL HAS SOME ORIGINAL GLOSS. LABELS ARE NICE.
Here's my grading guide:
Mint: A brand new record with no flaws. Has original shine and plays virtually noise-free.
Near mint: Could have one or two light scuff marks, but looks and plays almost like mint.
VG ++: Has minor scuff marks but no audible scratches. Plays with minimal surface noise.
VG +: More scuffing and surface noise, but no audible scratches. (I don't list many records in this condition).
VG: Has audible scratches and quite a bit of surface noise. (The only time you'll see a record with this grading is if it's an extrmely rare copy).
MAILING CHARGES FOR THIS RECORD:
CANADA: $12.55
USA: AIR MAIL $9.20 SURFACE $7.80
INTERNATIONAL: AIR MAIL $16.50 TO $19.20 (DEPENDING ON COUNTRY) SURFACE MAIL NOT RECOMMENDED.
SPECIAL NOTE: I AM NOW SENDING 78'S IN A SMALLER PACKAGE TO AVOID THE OVERWHELMING SHIPPING CHARGES, ESPECIALLY OVERSEAS. THEY WILL STILL BE PACKAGED SECURELY TO AVOID BREAKAGE.
I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING RECORDS FOR FIFTY YEARS AND AM VERY AWARE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF ACCURATE GRADING. MY RECORDS ARE INSPECTED VISUALLY AND PLACED ON A TURNTABLE TO CHECK FOR SURFACE NOISE. I WILL REFUND YOUR MONEY IF YOU FEEL THE ITEM HAS NOT BEEN DESCRIBED ACCURATELY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST.
AS WE ALL KNOW FEEDBACK IS VITAL TO THE REPUTATION OF EBAY SELLERS AND BUYERS. I WOULD ASK THAT YOU PLEASE FILE FEEDBACK IF YOU'RE SATISFIED WITH THE TRANSACTION AND I WILL IMMEDIATELY RESPOND WITH FEEDBACK FOR YOU. IF FOR SOME REASON YOU ARE NOT HAPPY, PLEASE NOTIFY ME AND I WILL DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION.
