Ruth Lee: "That Sweet Something Dear" / "Maybe Someday" 1922?, USA/Nordskog 3008-A / 3008-B. Disc has no notable surface marks, a tiny chip in the surface lacquer on Side B at the outer edge is well clear of the grooves and doesn't represent any problems. I don't have a proper 78 machine but I spun it on my modern turntable and noticed a small bit of warp... I suspect this would not be an issue at 78 tracking weight. There was some marked hiss, but I'm not well-versed enough to know if this is normal for a 78 of this vintage. The labels are in Excellent condition (see pics). This disc is in a (modern) plain manila sleeve. I listened to each track enough to confirm via the lyrics that the songs listed on the labels are indeed the ones performed on the disc. I will grade the disc Good to Good Plus in hopes that my grading will prove highly conservative. Regardless, returns are always permitted and your return postage will be covered as well. If I failed to note something, feel free to ask me any questions.

Everything I offer is guaranteed. I try to note any flaws with the disc and the sleeve, if applicable, so that there are no surprises when the box arrives. Be sure to view my other auctions as I have more interesting items up for grabs this week. iamthewitch

I ship 78s double-boxed in oversized cardboard mailers with cardboard flats added to increase stability. The contents will be wrapped in a plastic bag for waterproofing, and some bubble wrap will be used to suspend the inner box like a shock absorber. Please be aware that these supplies are expensive to purchase and represent a small portion of my shipping charges. I pack/ship one day per week, usually it is Friday.
