Description
E. Berliner’s 7" single sided Gramophone record.
Stars and Stripes Forever
played by Sousa's Band (Henry Hggins)#61V recorded in New York City April 7,1898
Very early and desirable patriotic song - perhaps the first flat record ever made of this song? "Henry Higgins of Sousa's Band" written in handwriting into the wax. The record has a number of very light scratches and there is surface noise as one expects on these early records.
That said, the recording sounds great. Very understandable with no skips or repeats.
Please ask questions more than 12 hours before end of auction.
SHIPPING:
I put the record with a piece of cardboard into a plastic sleeve and then I surround it with bubble wrap or crumbled paper or packing peanuts so it is suspended in the middle of all the soft stuff. I ship with media mail because it is the least expensive for you. If you want tracking and insurance you will need to indicate that to me and pay for it. I have not had any broken records in the mail.
***********
I am not an expert but I play my records before listing them so
I can tell you what to expect. If you have any questions please ask them before bidding. Please see pictures.

I will be listing a nice group of records from an old collection that was about to be thrown in the
garbage and taken to the dump. Other discs will include
many obscure and interesting titles so book mark my page for upcoming auctions!

NOTE TO BUYERS:
WHY ARE PEOPLE LEAVING ME FEED BACK INDICATING MY POSTAGE IS TOO HIGH?
THIS IS THE CHEAPEST METHOD OF MAILING RECORDS TO YOU HOWEVER MANY PEOPLE SEEM TO LEAVE FEEDBACK INDICATING THAT MY POSTAGE AMOUNT IS TOO HIGH. WHEN BUYERS LEAVE FEEDBACK LIKE THAT (FILLING OUT NUMBERS OF STARS) IT IS BETTER FOR ME AS A SELLER TO HAVE NO FEEDBACK FROM YOU AT ALL RATHER THAN BUYER FILLING INSTEAD OF 5 STARS. IT EFFECTS MY RANKINGS AND ABILITY TO DO BUSINESS ON EBAY SO PLEASE CONSIDER NOT LEAVING FEEDBACK OR COMMUNICATING WITH ME INSTEAD. ALSO IF YOU ARE CHARGED 4.00 POSTAGE AND THE PACKAGE SAYS POSTAGE COST 2.95 OR 3.50 I AM NOT RIPPING YOU OFF. THE TIME IT TAKES TO PACK + PLUS ME GETTING THE BOXES + ME WRAPPING THE BOXES + ME PUTTING YOUR ITM IN A PLASTIC SLEEVE ALL COSTS ME MUCH MORE THAN $4.00. MANY SELLERS CHARGE $8.00 POSTAGE AND HANDLING FOR SIMILAR ITEMS.
MEDIA mail $4. INSURANCE AT YOUR REQUEST.
