. 

THIS DISC WAS PART OF THE MILDRED BAILEY "MUSIC 'TILL MIDNIGHT" SERIES ON CBS AND LATER USED BY THE WAR DEPARTMENT THROUGH THE "ARMED FORCES RADIO SERVICES".  THIS SHOW #13 IS VERY SPECIAL BECAUSE JAZZ HISTORIAN LEONARD FEATHER FROM ESQUIRE MAGAZINE PRESENTS THE ESQUIRE JAZZ AWARDS FOR 1945.  THIS USED TO BE A BIG DEAL --- ABOUT ON THE SAME LEVEL AS THE TONY AWARDS.  SELECTIONS ON THE MILDRED BAILEY   PROGRAM ARE AS FOLLOWS:  SHOW OPENS WITH MILDRED SINGING "SOMEBODY LOVES ME" LEONARD FEATHER IS THEN BROUGHT ON STAGE TO GIVE OUT SOME OF THE AWARDS.  TWO OF THE WINNING BAND MEMBERS JOIN ART TATEM AND REMO PALMIERI TO DO A GREAT VERSION OF "I CAN'T GIVE YOU ANYTHING BUT LOVE.  MILDRED COMES BACK TO DO TWO NUMBERS:  "SUDDENLY MY HEART SINGS"  &  "I'M CONFESSIN' THAT I LOVE YOU" SIDE TWO BEGINS WITH LEONARD FEATHER PRESENTING AWARDS TO TEDDY WILSON, RED NORVO, OSCAR PETTIFORD, AND COOTIE WILLIAMS.  THE FOUR DO A TERRIFIC "TEA FOR TWO" MILDRED GETS THE TOP GOLD ESQUIRE AWARD FOR 1945 AND SINGS "FROM THE ROCKIN' HORSE TO THE ROCKIN' CHAIR" MILDRED'S HOUSE BAND --- PAUL BARON --- FINISH THE SHOW WITH "INVITATION TO A TRAMP".  IT'S A COMPLEX NUMBER WITH A LOT DIFFERENT "COLORS".  SORT OF REMINDS YOU OF SOME ELLINGTON'S MORE SERIOUS SELECTIONS. 
CONDITION OF THIS DISC:    DISC PLAYS WELL WITH NO  BIG  SCRATCHES,  NO DUG OUT GROOVES,  NO REPEATING FLAWS.  HOWEVER,  THERE IS SOME SURFACE NOISE ON THIS DISC.  NOT OVERPOWERING  SURFACE NOISE,  BUT IT'S THERE IN THE BACKGROUND.   RATE THIS ONE AS AN "VG+" *.       

*NOTE: "M" is NOT "MINT" 

    WE USE THE GOLDMINE GRADING SCALE

DEALER STOCK --- NEVER PLAYED.

N --- LOOKS LIKE NEW or DEALER STOCK BUT WITH THE ULTRA SLIGHTEST SIGN OF WEAR.

M --- LOOKS LIKE IT JUST CAME OUT OF THE STORE BUT HAS A FEW TICKS THAT KEEP IT FROM PERFECT

E --- EXCELLENT BUT NOT PERFECT.  SHOWS A FEW FLAWS.

VG ( very good )  --- SHOWS FLAWS.  HAS SURFACE WEAR AND SOME SURFACE NOISE SHOULD BE EXPECTED.  NO NASTY SCRATCHES, NEEDLE DROPS, RIM CHIPS, OR OTHER MAJOR PROBLEMS. 

GOOD ---  ACTUALLY, A FAIRLY USED RECROD THAT IS NEARING THE END OF ITS USEFUL LIFE.

FAIR or GOOD --- NOT MUCH OF EITHER.  BUY IT UNTIL YOU CAN FIND A BETTER COPY. 

"+'S"  & "-'S" --- TAKE IT UP OR DOWN A HALF STEP. 

As you can see this is pretty subjective stuff.  We try to be strict graders.
