Description
Great historic western recording from 1929. Billie Maxwell was indeed the first female country western singer. She was from a ranch in Arizona and had a band that travelled and played mostly traditional cowboy songs and some of her own. She was advised to go to a Victor Records field recording session in El Paso Texas where they recorded her by herself with only guitar and fiddle. See this link: http://www.amoeba.com/blog/2009/03/eric-s-blog/billie-maxwell-the-cow-girl-singer.html. Visually grades more VG with general wear from years of storage without a sleeve, and audibly sounds between VG and VG+ with good sound still above the high crackle. Noise on this stronger at the beginning then quickly gets better. Only serious issue is it has a repeating groove at very end of side 1 during the music - no missing vocals. About 8 grooves before end of side. Side 2 plays thru fine. Overall sounds very good. No cracks, chips or serious scratches. Examine the pictures for label condition. Ask questions before bidding. Check my recent feedback on record sales. Ships Media Mail carefully packed. POSTAGE IS 5.75 plus insurance. Will ship this priority at my expense if price goes high. You will be happy with this. Thanks and God bless! DO NOT PAY UNTIL I SEND INVOICE! READ BELOW:
I grade as follows:
NM = Just this side of mint.
E = Excellent. Virtually no trace of groove wear with only
minimal traces of use and handling.
E- = A shiny great looking record with a slight degree of groove wear,
but not enough to seriously detract from its audio quality.
VG+ = Obvious play wear, but still very enjoyable. Has some shine with minor surface scuffs and scratches. Noticeable
graying in the grooves. Light surface noise or crackle.
VG = Well worn, but listenable. Expect the surface
noise to be significant. There may be some stressed grooves.
V- = Been played hard. Played with the right equipment, however, you may still
derive a certain degree of pleasure from a record in this condition.
Poor = self explanatory.
I have sold and shipped successfully many records thru the years with great feedback. I am not a dealer - just a collector who is now having to sell most of his stuff because of financial need. Check my recent feedback on records.
These are play graded of a vintage Voice of Music record player with a 78 stylus and without filtering. I pack and ship 78 records in a new sleeve, poly bagged, sandwiched between 6 pcs corrugated cardboard, wrapped in bubble wrap and placed in a new 12 x 6 x 12 box with peanuts and mailed Media Mail in the USA. Insurance will be added on orders for more than 20.00. I will combine orders for savings. International orders welcome - please email before bidding for quote. Please ask questions before bidding.
