Description
Mae West - Troubled Waters RARE 10” 78 RPM ACETATE LP
Label: none Year: 1932 (?)
Condition: Vinyl - VG+ Cover - N/A (geneic)
Description:
Curious item here - an apparently 10” recording of Mae West’s “Troubled Waters” from 1932. It’s a thinner 10” acetate which looks like it was re-used as the b-side is a commercial for the LA Times but with portions purposely scratched out - likely to point to it being all about the Mae’s recording on the flip. VG+ disc, super clean, plays at 78.
BIDDERS - PLEASE READ THE BELOW
I grade my LPs VERY conservatively and accurately under a bright light. A description of the grading scale is below:
M: MINT - perfect. vinyl is pristine / cover is flawless and/or sealed
M- : just under mint. a very, very slight amount of wear on the cover or inaudible wear on the vinyl (surface wear from age, generally) but is otherwise flawless
VG+: vinyl / cover shows signs minor signs age or wear that are more or less undistinct / inaudible.
VG: vinyl / cover shows some visible wear / age but is overall in very good shape. pops and clicks may be ever so slightly noticeable, but don't effect play or overall listening experience.
VG-: vinyl / cover shows some relatively apparent age but is in overall good shape and still a fine copy to own / play.
G+: vinyl shows some heavy wear but overall sounds decent. cover has some flaws or shows much age
G: vinyl is in pretty rough shape visibly but plays ok. cover shows a lot of age or has some major splits or tears.
G-: vinyl looks / sounds pretty rough. cover has major condition issues such as water damage, large rips, etc
*a double "+" or "-" indicates that the condition is just above or below the neighboring grade
