2 B.A. Rolfe Orchestra Edison 78-rpm * Records

BID WITH CONFIDENCE! Our grading is conservative and fully guaranteed.

E = EXCELLENT

E+ No signs of use on playing surfaces; as close to Mint as a 78 gets.

E Negligible signs of use on playing surfaces and/or labels, but no groove wear or scratches. A prime copy.

E– Still a fine copy, but may have very light scuffs, a few inaudible to barely audible scratches, and/or very slight, isolated groove wear.

V = VERY GOOD

V+ Still shiny, but with mild groove wear throughout; may have light audible scuffs and scratches. Noise is apparent but not seriously intrusive.

V Less shine, more wear than V+. May have audible scuffs, scratches, and/or some lightly stressed grooves. Sound level is still strong, but noise is intrusive.

G = FAIRLY GOOD

Well-worn, but some shine still left. Grooves grayed throughout; may have many audible scuffs, scratches, and/or moderately stressed grooves. Still listenable, but usually with considerable noise.

F = FAIRLY POOR

Verging on unplayable; heavily worn and scratcged. Contains recognizable sound, but noise is overwhelming.

Rolfe had one of the jazzier dance bands on Edison, and here are two good examples from 1926 and 1927. These later Edisons are getting increasingly hard to find. (*Actually 80-rpm, of course.)

Edison 52047
B.A. Rolfe & his Palais D'Or
Orchestra:
Sax Appeal (take -A)

Golden's Hotel McAlpin Orch"
Dear Eyes that Haunt Me ( take -A)

Outer rim has to "lifted" a bit, as often happens on these laminated pressings. It is minor, with no flaking, and is not into the grooves.
Disc is E.

B.A. Rolfe & his Palais D'Or
Orchestra

Crazy Quilt (take -B) /
I'd Rather be the Girl in Your Arms (-B)

Label stained side 1 only. Disc is beautiful E.
