CLARENCE GREEN- COLUMBIA 78 RPM- JOHNSON CITY BLUES / 99 YEARS IN JAIL - LISTEN

$

20

Clarence Green on a 78 RPM on the Columbia Records label entitled Johnson City Blues / 99 Years in Jail.  The 78 RPM record plays with good fidelity, albeit a few defects. Overall, it shows lots of gloss on both sides, with light wear and scuffs. There is a three inch edge chip that fills the entire trail in groove right up to the first groove, but does not affect play of this record. (Please see the scans.) There are three noticeable defects on the B side of the 99 Years in Jail. First, there is a lam crack that begins in the label, and moves half way into the playing surface. (It is fairly light, and does not affect play.) Secondly there is a needle dig mid way thru the 99 Years in Jail song, causing a brief skip. Thirdly, there is a small circular lam crack near the edge chip on this side that causes a few clicks in the opening grooves. The record still plays well despite these defects. Please listen to the full sound samples, and look at the many scans to understand the true condition of this great record.

Please listen to the streaming audio of both sides of this actual record by using the ecommerce auction player.

International customers who want insurance and/or tracking must use either registered or global express mail service. (These services are not available with first class postal international mail service.) Registered mail takes a week longer, due to security handling. International registered mail services for one record costs $19.00. Global Express Mail costs approximately $40.00. If the amount is less, I will refund you the difference. After winning a record, please notify me, if you desire these services. I can send you an amended Ebay invoice, with the desired shipping services.

Please submit payment within 7 days of auction ending, or a non-paying bidder alert will be issued and/or relisting of the item may result. Please communicate with me, if there is a delay in payment.

I usually ship within 24 hours of receipt of payment, except for weekends or postal holidays.

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS PLEASE READ! Once a package leaves the US, only the postal service has control over handling or delivery time. Most international shipments are arriving in about a week.

So far, all my shipments have arrived safely. The customer has the option to select insurance for absolute security.

There is a complete audio stream of at least one side of each record on the listing page. Occasionally the audio stream "times out" overseas, limiting the sound, to a brief "clip". If this happens, please email or message me, and I will try to make a correction. Here is my grading system:

NM- = record appears mostly new and uplayed

VG++ = record looks great, may be a few light paper scuffs, plays like new.

VG+ = fairly nice copy, may be a few light marks, occasional tick or pop, but mostly clean sound.

VG = wear, scuffing, light scratches, ticks and pops, but a very playable copy.

VG- many scuffs or groove wear, plays with some noise, but still listenable.

G+ = a playable copy but very very worn, plays with lots of noise

G through G- = wall hanger
