GRADE & DESCRIPTION (RECORD): E  (plays E+, you'll never need to upgrade this one, which is lucky as you'll likely never find another copy...)

(I grade conservatively using the VJM scale.  Slash grades ("V/V+") indicates different grades for each side, and side-by-side grades ("VV+") indicates a record that is right on the line between the two grades.  Please look carefully at the photos to assist in your own evaluation, but you can trust my grading.)

NOTES: One of Bo Carter's very best records - the B side, Nobody Knows My Baby, features Lonnie Chatmon on FANTASTIC blues fiddle, and in the lyrics Bo references many of his other songs (fruit basket, pin cushion, etc.).  A stone cold classic.  Also, as it happens, one of his rarest records, and this is only the 2nd time this has ever been offered on eBay.  AND it is squeaky clean!!  The trifecta of desirability!!!  (Oh, and this one was recorded in San Antontio, Texas in March 1934.)

The records speak for themselves this week, a primo lot of prewar country blues records in great condition, with a few other fun things sprinkled in.  Please check my other listings, and note that I ship WORLDWIDE, all the time, expert packing & lightning fast shipping.

PAYMENT REQUIRED WITHIN 48 HOURS OF AUCTION CLOSE (unless you have contacted me to make other arrangements).  If you cannot pay or have no intention to pay for your winnings, please do not bid.  It seems like such a simple concept, but here lately...

I am an experienced 78 record packer & shipper!  Records will be sandwiched between cardboard and floated in an a 12" x 12" (or larger) oversized box stuffed with filler material.  Haven't had a single record break, 100% positive record shipping both domestically and overseas.  Check my feedback, this is the real deal.

SHIPPING PRICES for 78 RPM RECORDS: 

USA: $9 for 1st 78 and .50 cents each additional.  HAD TO GO UP ON RATES AS ULINE HAS DOUBLED THEIR SHIPPING COSTS TO ME AND RAISED RATES ON THEIR PRODUCTS.  I USE ALL NEW SUPPLIES, AND THEY AIN'T CHEAP.  (Note that this BARELY covers postage, corrugate, peanuts, etc., and I'm actually taking a loss when you calculate that eBay charges sales tax on shipping AND THEN takes 10% of the combined shipping & sales tax as well, to say nothing of the bite that PayPal then takes of the total...)

WAIT FOR INVOICE after multiple wins for combined shipping discount! 

INTERNATIONAL: $50 for 1st Record and $5 each additional.  (Price went up Sep 2020, sorry guys, the old rate didn't even cover the postage anymore...)  WAIT FOR INVOICE!

CANADA: $20 for 1st Record and $3 each additional.  WAIT FOR INVOICE!
