CHARLEY PATTON PARAMOUNT 12909 BLUES G+ 78 rpm *HEAR*
WELL FOLKS, IT’S ONE OF THE GREATEST DELTA MISSISSIPPI BLUES MASTERPIECES EVER RECORDED. IT’S WHIPPED THOUGH. IT BARELY PLAYS, ALTHOUGH, IT PLAYS EVEN THROUGHOUT, PLEASE GIVE IT A LISTEN, SO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE BIDDING ON. HALF OF A PARAMOUNT SLEEVE INCLUDED.
FROM COLLECTION OF: HENEGHAN
GRADE: G+

ALL RECORDS PLAY GRADED USING A STANTON 500-ll CARTRIDGE USING A 3.5TE STYLUS. PLEASE SEE VIDEO FOR A CLIP OF THIS RECORD PLAYING.
I AM CURRENTLY SELLING RECORDS FROM LEGENDARY COLLECTOR ROBERT CRUMB’S RECORD COLLECTION AND MY OWN. I WILL NOTE WHO’S IT COMES FROM ABOVE.
You are buying from lifelong record collector and record seller John Heneghan. I have years of experience grading & selling 78’s and pride myself in conservative grading and fast shipping. 
ALSO PLEASE NOTE THAT NONE OF MY PHOTOS HAVE BEEN PHOTOSHOPPED OR ENHANCED IN ANY WAY. So many sellers today use heavy contrast and Photoshop to make their records look cleaner than they are but not me. You can tell when the shellac is really dark. Also if the record is graded V- but the photo of the record looks E+, that photo has been altered. My goal is to give the buyer the utmost confidence in what they're bidding on so please listen to the clip of the record playing in the video provided. Thanks!

Standard 78 rpm grading system:
N- = like new
E+ = a virtually perfect copy with only minor signs of having been played
E = very slight signs of wear, maybe some minor scuffing and/or light scratches but a clean copy with little groove wear
E- = slightly above average copy, some groove wear and minor blemishes but music way above noise
VG+ = an average copy, signs of use, some groove wear but music still above noise
VG = wear, scuffing, light scratches. music equal to noise
VG- will play but is quite worn. noise louder than music
G+ = a playable copy but very very worn, noise much louder than music
G = plays through, rough noise extremely loud
P =  once might have been a phonograph record, wall hanger
