(Kid: So Joe you got any stuff that's out there?
Joe: Ask me that .. (disgust) .. THIS is way out there:
CHECKER 78rpm # 763
ONE MAN BAND
JOE HILL LOUIS sings:
WHEN I AM GONE
DOROTHY MAE
Conservatively V+. Nice pretty copy of a very hard to find LEGENDARY 78.
Both sides nice and glossy.
Dorothy Mae plays great to E- with minimal background noise. Great Harp on this one.
When I Am Gone plays with slightly more background, but still V+ easy. This is him, his guitar, and a bass drum.
There is a dig with about 15 seconds remaining that doesn't pass on my turntable I move past it (its the guitar outro)
I ENCOURAGE YOU TO LISTEN TO SOUND SAMPLE AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF!
ITS A GREAT RECORD!

Records over $100 will normally be upgradeded Priority Mail at no extra charge. Priority mail is always an option at Buyer request, usually under $12. I pack the 78 to float safely in in a sleeve between two slats of cardboard, surrounded by bubble wrap and/or peanuts/newspaper, floating in a roughly 12x12x6 box. Firm but not to the point of fearing for the record's well being. I don't tape the edges of records. I reuse boxes and packing materials but will use new materials at buyer request. Will be shipped via Media Mail, with tracking #, buyer pays insurance for purchases over $35, insurance is at buyer request below that amount.

I like the VJM grading system for 78 RPM records:
- N. As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
- N-. Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
- E+. Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
- E . Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
- E-. Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.
- V+. An average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced
- V. Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
- V-. 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+. Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
- G. Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
- G-. Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.
- F. Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
- P. Unplayable
