Description
NOTE: I made these recordings using a modern, microgroove stylus, and the surface noise would no doubt be greatly reduced if played with a stylus appropriate for the groove width on this 1930 pressing.
Barefoot Bill (Bill Bell), Squabblin' Blues b/w Bad Boy on Columbia 14526. VG on the Goldmine scale, V++ on the VGM scale, with superficial rubbing and scuffing but also good shine, looks like it wasn't kept in a sleeve but also wasn't played much. I've included complete, unmanipulated files of both sides, so you can hear how it sounds. A very decent-looking and strong playing copy of a true blues rarity, and two great, great songs.
Record will be very securely packaged for shipping--I've never had a 78 broken in transit.
Grading
MINT- Perfect or virtually perfect.
VG+ Light marks, full shine, great looking record
VG Still fairly shiny but clearly a used record, light scratches, will play well but with some surface noise
VG- Played or used more heavily, lots of scratches, more pronounced surface noise, but still plays through okay
G Rough record
