INFO: Nice playing copy of this wonderful and VERY RARE record! Very IMPORTANT BAND. The Oliver Gennetts are some of the most important of early jazz recordings. Also they are the first records made by Louis Armstrong. Check the photos, this is a really nice copy. You're not likely to find better and if you do it will be astronomically expensive! Add to that, it's a fantastic performance with an iconic cornet solo by Oliver that is quoted by EVERY Jazz Trumpet player who plays Dippermouth Blues! The song named for young Louis Armstrong's nickname. You really NEED this record in your collection!

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.
