I have spent most of my life collecting Blues 78s specialising in Post-War and Piano. Now in my old age and broke I need the money and reluctantly I must sell the collection. By the time I stopped actively filling in my Wants (and eBay was a remarkable source for some of my last few acquisitions) I had probably one of the top 5 POST WAR BLUES 78s collections in the world. Sadly the time has come as I knew it would for me to dispose of it so here we go.

GRADING

My grading (over 40 years experience) is a simplification of the VJM system:

N- is the top grade. Mint store stock or virtually unplayed. E played, shiny surface, minimum surface noise (there's ALWAYS some). Qualified by + or -. V more wear, greying surface, more prominent surface noise, not uncomfortable, qualified by + or -. G heavy wear, grey--white grooves, music as loud as the surface noise, crackles and pops. Qualified by +. Normally I wont be listing anything in lesser condition.

Any damage other than wear , like a rim chip, hair crack etc will be noted separately. Any complaints about my grading will elicit a refund (not on the shipping) on return of the record.

PACKING

Records will be packed between 10" cardboard squares inside sturdy boxes filled with polystyrene nibbles or bubble-wrap.

SHIPPING

Shipping at cost - WAIT for an invoice please before paying.
