Description

Here is remarkably well kept copy of a record that is nearly a century old, by this Black jug band from Louisville that was subsequently immortalized in a 1930 Fox-Movietone newsreel. I am grading conservatively as V+ on both sides. No scratches, chips, cracks or visible groove wear, only a few faint rub marks. The gloss is excellent, though not quite "full gloss" by the standards of post-War shellacs that I am more accustomed to grading. Both labels are pristine. It does play with a uniform, persistent hiss that I assume is common to most or all record this old. 
Note that I am familiar with the proper way to ship shellacs and have never had one damaged in transit.
