Description
Rare R&B 78 Richard Armstrong GENE NOBEL'S BOOGIE / GENE NOBEL'S BLUES on Randy's 104. Released 1949 by Randy Wood, who founded Dot Records a year later. Gene Nobel was a DJ at WLAC in Nashville, and Randy's Record Shop sponsored a show, which could be heard in Jamaica. This is where reggae producer Vincent "Randy" Chin got his nickname. Very rare, condition V, shows some light stripping, or the beginning of it, but otherwise sounds V+. Soundfiles available upon request via Dropbox.
Record will be safely packed for shipment.
The VJM Grading System
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 genral 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 greying 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 scatch damage extensive.
F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
P (78). Unplayable
