Tough find - rarely comes up - Buck Mountain Band - Yodeling Blues (A-3 Stamper)
Flip Side - Andy Anderson - Oh! For the Wild and Wooly West
Fun song with driving banjo by Wade Ward (if unaware, google him and see why his Banjo is in the Smithsonian even though he recorded very few tunes for 78rpm) and fun lyrics that seem to be about being taken out to deep water (or deep hills) by a gal and her sister (thick as thieves, as the tune says) only to end up broke and lost in the mountains.  Really fun song.

Yodeling Blues (1-A-3 Stamper) - Plays around V- with moderate background. 
Wooly West plays better, VV+ with a couple of deep scratches.  (1-B-4) stampers

Stay tuned and check back I'm going to be listing a great deal of nice blues, country, string bands, ethnic tunes and similar over the next several weeks.  Mostly from 20s and 30s but also some nice postwar titles as well as early rock and roll and doo wop.  Most will be Buy It Now, first come first served so check back often.

*Ask any questions I’ll do my best to answer as quickly as possible*

I like the VJM grading system for 78 RPM records:

• N. As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
• N-. Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
• E+. Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
• E . Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
• E-. Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.
• V+. An average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced
• V. Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
• V-. Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages.Music remains loud in most passages.Surface noise and scratches well below music level.
• G+. Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
• G. Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
• G-. Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.
• F. Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
• P. Unplayable
