Description
EDISON RECORDS 30002-THE 40 MINUTE RECORD. SEE PHOTOS FOR TITLES.
LET ME PREFACE WITH THIS STATEMENT. I AM NOT AN EDISON MAN(YET); I HAVE NO WAY OF PLAYING THIS AND DOUBT I WILL EVER HAVE THE EQUIPMENT TO PLAY THIS RECORD SO HERE WE ARE.
THE 40 MINUTE RECORD WAS PRODUCED BY EDISON IN 1926 IN LIMITED NUMBERS. YOU HAD TO HAVE THE SPECIAL 24 AND 40 MINUTE REPRODUCER TO PLAY THESE.I THINK IT IS 0.3 MIL STYLUS; I CHECKED AROUND AND COULDN'T FIND ANYBODY MAKING ANY MODERN SUBSTITUTES. SO CHANCES ARE THIS CAN ONLY BE PLAYED ON THE PROPER EDISON PLAYER WITH THE 40 MINUTE REPRODUCER. BUT YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS.
RECORD HAS NOT BEEN CLEANED, AS I READ WATER IS BAD FOR EDISONS. OVERALL RECORD IS EXTREMELY LUSTROUS WITH A FEW SLIGHTLY WAVY AREAS. THERE ARE SOME SCUFFS ON ONE SIDE THAT SEEM VERY SUPERFICIAL, I COULDN'T DETECT THEM BY FEELING; THE CAMERA FLASH REALLY HIGHLIGHTS THEM THEY'RE NOT THAT VISIBLE IN REGULAR LIGHT. IF I WERE GRADING AN OKEH OR COLUMBIA FROM SAME ERA, I WOULD EXPECT E- TO E+ PLAY. LABELS ARE MOSTLY PRETTY BEAUTIFUL; THERE IS A SLIGHT LOSS ON THE L-SIDE(SEE PHOTO).
ALSO COMES WITH ORIGINAL SLEEVE. SLEEVE IS RIPPED, CRACKED, WRINKLED AND EXTREMELY BRITTLE. HAS HAD THE CORNERS CUT OFF. SLEEVE AND RECORD HAVE BEEN SEPERATED AND SAFELY SLEEVED. ITEM WILL BE DOUBLE BOXED IN A 14 BY 14 BY 6 INCH BOX FOR SAFE DELIVERY.
SINCE I CAN'T PLAY THIS TO VERIFY CONDITION THERE IS A UNCONDITIONAL RETURN POLICY ON THIS. YOU PAY RETURN SHIPPING IN ORIGINAL PACKAGING.
