Description
This is part of a large auction of blues, doo-wop, jazz & R&B 10" 78's from the late 1940's into the 50's. There are a handful of unusual small labels represented here as well as some promos and several early recordings by performers who would go on to be big stars.
Here's the info on this item:
Release: The Castelles - My Girl Awaits Me / Sweetness
Format: 78 rpm 10" shallac record
Year: 1953
Notes: Blue label first pressing. The first record by this group and the first record released by Grand Records. The group that is credited with defining the "Philadelphia Sound" of a high tenor lead and minimal instrumentation. Great record here and a bit of a historic one.
Record Condition: E, The record is in nice shape & plays very well, one or two very brief spots of crackle. Has several light scuffs, but no real noticeable scratches. Sound is clean and clear. Labels are also very clean with no writing/tears/scuffs. Not perfect visually, but a very nice play copy here.
All records I sell have been personally cleaned and play tested. I am an experienced grader and use the VJM grading system, but please see pictures as so much of this is subjective. These will be shipped in sleeves in a cardboard sandwich in an oversize box for maximum protection.
I want buying from me to be a good experience for you. I also know that condition can be very subjective, so I encourage you to see pics for exact condition details and ask questions if you need additional information. As always, the item you see is the one you will get. Please see my feedback, I think that will show that I am an accurate and fair grader and make sure my customers are happy.
I will combine shipping for anyone who wins more than one item. If you do need combined shipping, please wait for an invoice before paying.
