BLIND BOY FULLER Truckin’ Little Baby COLUMBIA 37155 orig 1946 blues 78 HEAR

$

32

CONDITION :
Blind Boy Fuller from 1946 here on the Columbia label… Surface shows light scuffs and a few light marks - none affect playback. No skips. Full play grade. Above average sound with an average appearance. Hear clips, plays great!
Labels look as shown in the photos. Hear both sides play!


Side 1 = Direct from playback at 192kbs... Side 2 = Direct from playback at 192kbs... Current audio setup for play grading is:
- Caliphone 1450k stand-alone - Yamaha RX-900 U Receiver
These are routed out into a Mac setup where I record via Audacity from 128kbs to 192kbs, mono tracks recorded in one channel so I copy mono to both stereo tracks for 78rpm records.  Every so often, a playback clip might have a dropout or sound like there’s a skip in playback - this is not the case as I’d never list a record that skips without noting it (and the record would have to be SUPER RARE!). I am stating this just in case an oddity occurs during playback for my buyers. I do my very best to stay alert and present when play grading records. 




This record will be cardboard padded on both sides, wrapped and then custom boxed. Every box is taped well and marked fragile, double taped at corners.



PAYMENT :
PayPal please, it is preferred. If you have another form of payment you’d like to use, please send a message and I’ll see if I can accomodate your request.




GRADING:
I use Goldmine’s grading system and am quite conservative when assessing condition.
SS = Still Sealed
any defects will be listed and/or photographed to complete the description

   NM- = Near Mint Minus
just short of perfect - acceptable defects would include a hairline mark not detectable to the touch and not affecting playback, background noise is nearly silent

   VG++ (EX) = Very Good Plus Plus
most records I will list fall under this grade, just short of NM- but may have a mark or contact wear to the label to grade it slightly lower, maybe a drill hole or saw cut, maybe a mark or name written on the label lightly, sound is still great, loud and near perfect, cover may have slight edge or corner wear, maybe slight ring wear 

   VG+ = Very Good Plus
a great record, sound is high quality though may have a few pops or clicks, overall very nice looking vinyl possibly with light marks & scuffs, labels may have a name or mark on them, possible light contact wear to the label, covers may have a small split but not large or gaping, edge wear on cover may show more than slight, may be a mark on cover 

  VG = Very Good
only records I will list with this grade would be rather rare or of higher book value, meant to sell as a filler until a better record comes along, vinyl may have feel-able marks but should play through without skipping, pops or clicks may be louder than usual, may have marks or wear on the label, cover may have open splits, wear on print, may have marks or other very apparent defects (all will be stated in description either by type or in the pictures)


SHIPPING PROCESS AND PACKAGING :
All records are packaged tight for safe shipping. Vinyl is shipped outside the original sleeve in a separate, often new sleeve. I custom package every record with plenty of padding. 
45’s will be cardboard padded on both sides, then wrapped in bubble, then custom boxed. Every box is taped well and marked fragile, double taped at corners.
LP’s are cardboard padded, wrapped in bubble wrap, then corners are gusseted with custom made pads. The records ship outside their covers and sleeves to prevent damage. A custom box is then built around this padded ‘record sandwich’. The resulting box is then taped well, marked fragile and double taped at corners.
78’s are first packaged between two pieces of 11” cardboard, taped well, then bubble wrapped. Additional bubble wrap is then laid out with void fill laid down, then the record sandwich followed by more void fill. This eventually makes a 4 to 5” bubblewrap ‘pillow’ which is then custom boxed, taped well, marked fragile and then double taped at the corners.
