Description

This auction is for the Victor 78 RPM record 23578 featuring the Allen Brothers performing Monkey Blues and Pile Drivin' Papa accompanied by banjo and guitar, as pictured.
Condition:  I have not tried to play or clean this record, and I am not familiar with standard record grading, so I will do my best to describe it.  This one is in the best condition of any that I have come across so far.   The labels are intact.  The grooves have very light wear and scratches.  Usually I include a close-up photo of the worst scratch on each side to help you judge for yourself.  I tried to do that with this record, but I couldn't find any scratches that would show up in pictures.  I did find one very small chip on the edge outside of the grooves.  I have included a close-up photo of this.
I am not a record dealer or a record collector.  In the 1970s and 1980s I used to pick through stacks of 78s at flea markets and antique shops looking for anything interesting in the blues, bluegrass, old time, folk, jazz and fiddle genres.  Now I've decided that it's time to get rid of the ones I still have.  (The best one that I stumbled on was a Blind Willie McTell, but that's long gone.)  The ones that don't sell will be trashed, so if you see some that you are interested in that don't sell, contact me.
Shipping:  I am a careful and thorough packer, and I have successfully shipped 78s in the past, but I welcome suggestions to help ensure safe delivery.  I will be listing more 78s, and I am glad to combine shipping if you buy more than one.
