Description
ADD ME AS A FAVOURITE SELLER NOW! I'll be selling some rare (some, even SCARCE!), amazing, and spectacular 78rpm records over the next few weeks, and you will not want to miss out!
The fragile Edison 24 and 40 minute Long Play records were decades ahead of their time. Recorded at 400 grooves per inch, far more than a modern LP record, they spun at 80RPM! Few of these records survive, because when the fragile diamond stylus broke, or skipped, the record payed the price, and this happened more often than expected, and these machines and records were pulled from production in 1927. I encourage the winning bidder to not play this on original Edison equipment, as a means of preserving the recording. Instead, enjoy it on a modern turntable pitched up to 80rpm, with a lightweight cartridge and stylus.
Record 10003, complete with its original sleeve, which is intact. I grade the sleeve a VG, with some worn thru edges, and wear consistent with age. There are cataloging pencil marks on the front, and a blotted out indexing number on the back of the sleeve. The sleeve's center hole seems to have been double-punched.
I conservatively grade this disc "E-" using the VJM Record Grading system for LP records: "LP: Some wear, scratches and scuffs, but no skipped or repeat grooves." I audition all records on a modern turntable with a lightweight sapphire stylus. RECORDS WILL BE PACKED PROPERLY between several sheets of cardboard, surrounded by packing peanuts, in a sturdy box. IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE THE USA: please email me directly for an exact quote. The automatically generated quotes are always more than the actual cost. Payment via PayPal, or in person. I ship WORLDWIDE.
I will gladly combine purchased to save you money on shipping.
