Description
For your bidding consideration, we are offering a rare Edison Needle-Type Electric 78rpm record. Titles are: "When You're Counting the Stars Alone" and "Pretty Little You." Both sides are played by the California Ramblers.
These Edison laterally-recorded releases are getting harder to find these days. This one was recorded in 1929. If you wish to hear it, please go to my YouTube channel, VTMCompany. (Search by titles)
The condition of this record is difficult to grade by most 78rpm releases.
Edison Needle-Type shellac looks strange compared to other big name competing companies. The grooves appear larger and tend to resemble heat warpage from other labels' shellac. However, this is the way they were pressed by Edison, Inc. and in no way have suffered any heat damage.
Overall this record would rate an E, with a couple of scratches and scuffs on both sides. However, judge for yourself the audio quality from my YouTube postings.
Sorry, we only accept and ship for US bidders.

Winning bidder: Not to worry over our shipping of fragile 78 records. We know how to properly pack 'em in cardboard 'sandwich' with styrofoam fillers. Great to know most all eBay sellers of 78s finally have caught on!
Be advised there are NO GRAY GROOVES from worn needle. My digital camera skills are not what they should be!
