Description
ARTIST: Halfway House Orchestra
LABEL: Columbia mx 146220-3 (issued in Australia only in the 78 era)
TITLES: Wylie Avenue Blues
CONDITION: E+
DESCRIPTION: Polyurethane master pressing of a classic and very rare side recorded by the great New Orleans-based band in NYC on April 27, 1928. The original press was issued only in Australia and usually sells for several thousand dollars when it turns up...usually not even clean. Same matrix, noiseless polyurethane material. Plays great!
For the foreseeable future, I will be listing great items from my own personal collection of 1920s classic jazz.
78 GRADING: We use the universally recognized VJM (Vintage Jazz Mart) 78 rpm system in grading our 78s with some streamlining as noted, eliminating some of the hair splitting on records graded V- and below (G+, G, G-, F).
E+
Highest grade used. A record that might have minor handling marks but has no visible signs of wear. N, N- and E+ records will all be graded as E+.
E
Record has slight signs of handling and use but groove wear should be barely detectable and grooves should still be glossy and black.
E-
Light groove wear with grey rubbing and light circular gray grooves starting to appear, but record should still retain glossy black grooves for almost all of the surface.
V+
Grey wear, handling and groove wear more apparent, but much of the groove area will still have black.
V
Record is approaching an overall grey surface with uniform wear, but will still play well even though the level of surface noise and distortion could be distracting.
V-
Record has wear throughout, and was subject to continual playing to wring more sound out of it, so even the grey is in a more advanced state of deterioration with groove walls disappearing.
P
This grade generally indicates poor condition on a good title.
