Red hot BLUE RIDGE PLAYBOYS 1936 Western Swing 78 Gimmie My Dime Back (V+)
BLUE RIDGE PLAYBOYS. Vocalion 03526 (US) Gimmie My Dime Back (V-Leon Selph)/Anything (V-Leon Selph)If you're at all familiar with the great 'OKeh Western Swing' compilation from the early eighties, you'll know the 'A' side of this 78, a highlight of that two-LP set. Moon Mullican is on piano, Floyd Tillman on electric guitar, Leon Selph on fiddle and vocal. Both sides are red-hot early Western Swing, recorded at the band's first session, San Antonio, Texas, Nov 20-36. Seldom seen.
Visually, this great WS 78 just squeaks in at a V+ grade with a few light scratches, some surface/stacking rubs and bit of wear. Better heard than seen. Spot-checked thoroughly. The disc plays fine for the grade with the music riding high over some steady mild to medium surface noise and the occasional isolated tick. You might get a quieter play with a smaller stylus (I'm testing with a 2.7 mil needle).The 'A' side label is slightly faded.
Not pristine but when is the last time you saw this vintage Western Swing gem? It's a hot one. Good luck.
Please check my other auctions for more great 78s. I’m happy to combine multiple auctions to help get the best shipping rates. And, don’t forget, I can ship up to two 78s for the same price as shipping one. As well, in most cases, I can ship up to six 78s for the same price as shipping three.
With the ever-rising costs of shipping 78s, I’m happy to hold records for you buyers who want to fill up a box – on a ‘pay as you go’ basis, please.
78s come in used but nice vintage green sleeves or, when possible, original paper sleeves.
I do my spot-checking and play testing on a Technics 1200 turntable with a Stanton 500 cartridge using a standard Stanton 2.7 stylus. The amp is a mid-70s Pro-Linear with the mono switch activated. The speakers are small professional recording studio monitors (Yamaha NS 10) that are known for being overly bright – great for spotting that mild surface noise!
I ship 78s as I like to receive them - using the four-sheet 10” cardboard sandwich, foam chips, 12" x 12" x 4 "(or 6") box method.
I use standard 78 grading (E+, E, E-, V+, V, V- etc). I’ll sometimes use double plus or minus signs to really hone in on the shape.
NOTE TO ALL BUYERS. eBay’s new final-value-fee on shipping charges plus the very-strong Canadian dollar has resulted in another increase in shipping costs.
A NOTE ON SHIPPING AND HANDLING: At eBay’s urging, I’m now using the shipping calculator to show shipping costs for up to two 78s.US BUYERS - shipping calculator rates are for surface shipping.
CANADIAN BUYERS – the shipping calculator will give you rates for surface shipping. Also, since I’m mailing from British Columbia, 12 % HST (on shipping only) will be added to the invoice of all Canadian orders.
ALL OTHER INTERNATIONAL BUYERS - shipping calculator rates are for airmail. International surface shipping can take a long time to reach you – up to two months – so is not recommended.
I've had to add a small fee to help cover the extra costs of: 1. packing materials (boxes, cardboard pads, foam chips, etc), 2. eBay’s new final-value-fees on shipping charges, 3. fees incurred by PayPal on shipping charges.
There is no ‘handling charge’ for the time I take to properly pack your precious, fragile 78 for safe travel.
Please drop me a note if you have any questions.

Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
