You are bidding on the rare 78 rpm "album" "box set" (3 records):
  
Songs By Woody Guthrie (Asch Records Presents Woody Guthrie Album)- Talking Sailor / Coolee Dam / Ranger's Command / Gypsy Davy / Jesus Christ / New York Town, released by Asch Records (A 347-1/2/3A/B) (Ma 17/20/79/139/135/21) in 1945.  Liner notes are written by Woody Guthrie himself and John Steinbeck.

*Here you have an original pressing one of Woody's first releases!  This contains six sides culled from Guthrie's expansive Asch Recordings.  Some of these are his absolute finest performances, such as the profound "Jesus Christ", "Ranger's Command", "Gypsy Davy", "N.Y. Town", etc.  This was released by Moses Asch, well before Asch records became Folkways Records! *

*Please Note- all three records have some incredibly minor edge chips.  To put it in perspective, it would be impossible for edge chips to be any more minor than these.  Obviously, they do not affect the records' play whatsoever.*

The Records are all properly play-graded in V+ condition.  The records play with a very loud sound, and a very minimal amount of surface noise is heard.  The music remains in the extreme foreground of the sound, making this an incredibly enjoyable listen.  Visually, the records all show a rich luster and a few, very light surface marks.

The Album "cover" is graded in VG+ condition, just showing a fair amount of edge wear.  Overall, it looks very nice.

Shipping within the U.S. is $4.00 (media) or $8.00 (priority).

Shipping to Canada is $12.00 (1st Class International).

Shipping to anywhere else in the world is $21.00 (1st Class International).

Shipping is calculated at the actual cost for you, the consumer. I don't charge any extra fees for material or handling.

Please bid with confidence.  I am an experienced 78rpm record collector and will ship your records properly and with the utmost care.  Safe delivery to you is guaranteed.

I can not offer combined shipping with 78 rpm Album box sets, to ensure the safety of your records.

Insurance is your option as a buyer. International customers, please keep in mind that you can only insure your item if you ship Express, which can be very expensive. Please contact me if you would prefer this option.

Payment must be made within the 7 day period after the auction ends.  No exceptions.

Please take a look at my other auctions.  Over the next few days, I will be listing a batch of some seriously rare 78rpm records!  Artists will include Bo Carter, Mike Hanapi & the Ilima Islanders, the Rev. Anderson Johnson, Atilla with Gerald Clark, Sun City Girls, Andre Williams, etc.  Do yourself a favor and check them out.  These are all incredible records!  I always start my auctions at $4.95, with the exception of 78rpm records (which start at $9.95), considering the material and labor involved in their shipment.  I never ever offer the Buy It Now option.  If you ask me, that feature is cluttering up ebay with some seriously mediocre records.   You'll find nothing but the good stuff here.  Thanks for taking a look!

Feel free to ask me any questions you might have. Please communicate with me via ebay messages, not e-mail.
