Description
Up for auction are 2 78 rpm records by Bobby Freeman on Josie label. (# 841 & 844)
The sides are Betty Lou Got A New Pair Of Shoes / Starlight & Need Your Love / Shame On You Miss Johnson. (Betty Lou reached #20 & Need Your Love #29 on R&B charts in 1958)
These records still have some shine but Betty Lou side has a slight dullness to it likely caused by the fact that it was probably played the most.
The labels are in excellent condition with no spindle wear.
A family member, an avid jukebox collector, has recently decided to part with his large R&B / Rock & Roll record collection. These records have been in climate-controlled storage since the early 70’s and have not been on a turntable platter for almost 40 years until now to archive & to test their playability. (If they have a skip…they don’t make it to listing.)
I found the following grading system online…
- NM = near new condition
- E = barely played, extremely close to near new condition
- VG = played, but not abused condition, should play very well, may have light scratches, scuffs
- G = well played, but should play pretty well, will have deeper scratches, scuff; may have some background noise, scratches, scuffs, wear
- P = well used, pretty bad condition, lots of background noise
These records grade as follows:
Betty Lou VG- / Starlight VG+
Need Your Love VG-
As a very frequent buyer (and a new seller) of 78 rpm records, I have seen the correct way and unfortunately, several incorrect ways of packing these fragile items.
This record will be very securely packaged for shipment.
I will combine shipping for other 78s I am auctioning at just an additional .50 cents each.
You will not be disappointed!
