Description
For your consideration is a rare vintage 10 inch 78 rpm by Carroll Clark entitled Dear Lord Remember Me b/w Jesus Is Coming Soon. Scarce early race series issue. Carroll Clark was a pioneering black recording artist, recording before 1910 for Columbia. His stature was not that of a Williams and Walker, and so he was forced to sing recordings idealising the antebellum south and slavery. Due to his disliking of this, he seldom recorded in the 1910s, but was eventually given another opening to record in the early 20s for Black Swan and later for Paramount, where he was allowed to record a few art songs and negro spirituals. Paramount thought enough of the Clark to advertise his rendezvous with the label, and put him amongst the other major names in their early race catalogue. Interesting and historical one. Not offered online before.
All of our old shellac and vinyl 78 records are packed with utmost care and precaution so as to ensure they arrive to you in the same condition in which they were shipped out. I have extensive experience shipping 78s. For an in depth explanation of my shipping methods, see the bottom of this page. All items will be shipped within 3 days of purchase. All good faith offers thoroughly considered.
Keep in mind that for the highest fidelity reproduction results, a correct sized, well maintained stylus should always be used and antique records should also always receive a deep cleaning with a stiff bristled brush and a non-alcohol based soap. I do not provide grading beyond what is required by eBay. If the photographs prove insufficient, do not hesitate to reach out with a question, as well as any other type of inquiry related to an item.
All 78 rpm records, vinyl or shellac, will be shipped sandwiched between either thick cardboard or some spare 78 rpm discs to provide substantial reinforcement for uneven pressure placed on a package during shipment. The record sandwich is then suspended in packing peanuts on all sides. Packing peanuts are the optimal durable memory material as they will insulate your item against any acute forces such as a fall or any type of blow and unlike bubble wrap will not pop and lose their shape if subjected to a strong force.
