Description
Here’s classic Armstrong and it’s the record (another copy!) that famed 1920s expatriates Sara and Gerald Murphy tucked in the hull of their sail boat, named, of course, “Weather Bird.” Pianist Earl Hines accompanies Armstrong on “Weather Bird,” recorded on December 5, 1928 while on the flips side, “Dear Old Southland,” recorded on April 5, 1930, Buck of Buck and Bubbles provides the accompaniment. Substantial groove wear, plays without incident. Condition V
NOTE: I grade records by a rating system that has been standard in the industry for decades. Still, it can be a subjective undertaking. I am more likely to grade by how the record reproduces aurally (I use a 78 Shure cartridge with a 1950s Voice of Music turntable that has been fit into a 1946 Magnavox Belvedere radio-phonograph) than by how it looks visually. Sometimes a record that appears substantially worn plays very well and sometimes the opposite is true.
