INFO: Cliff Jackson & his Krazy Kats was an incredibly HOT African American band that only released 12 tunes recorded in Jan & Feb of 1930 by Grey Gull and issued on cheap dimestore labels just after the big stock crash. They are ALL incredibly rare and wonderful records.
The Cliff Jackson side plays through without any problems other than the normal Grey Gull surface noise. VERY RARE, this is an excellent and rare example of a very HOT band playing a nice Waltz as all the bands did. The SAM LANIN side has a rim chip into the grooves (pictured) that goes into about 8 grooves. Other than that it too is a fine record but out of the hundreds of Lanin recordings, hardly remarkable.

GRADING - visual, I do not play all records unless I think it's required based on the visual inspection. N (78) As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed). N- (78) Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage. E+ (78) Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets. E (78) Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches. E- (78) Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches. V+ (78) V+ is 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 (78) Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive. V- (78) Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy graying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level. G+ (78). Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches. G (78). Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise. G- (78). Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive. F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable. P (78). Unplayable.
