This record grades about VG+ condition..... Single sided disc
But this historical transitional or “gray area” period from Ragtime to Jazz that occurred across the nation is overlooked in Jazz history, and thus isn’t easy to track, especially when there aren’t phonograph records of it. Thus, the sounds of these other influences, the other Jazz, have been relegated to dim photographs and distant memories—until we found the records made by Walter Gustave “Gus” Haenschen (1889-1980). In discovering Gus, we discover so much more.
Gus Haenschen was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and there he led a popular dance orchestra throughout the 1910s. The group made six curious records for the Columbia Phonograph Company’s Personal Series (i.e., they were vanity records to be sold to fans and potential venues) in 1916.
A closer look at the titles reveals that the repertoire choice of the band was not unlike many later Jazz bands; “Maple Leaf Rag” (think NORK, Halfway House Orchestra, and so many others) “Honky Tonky (aka Down in Honky Tonk Town)” (think Louis and Bechet ca. 1940), “A Bunch of Blues” (a multistrain composition that constitutes half of “Sunset Medley”—think Original Memphis Five or W.C. Handy’s Orchestra), and more.
Then add to that the fact that Gus and the gang played alongside Black musicians all around St. Louis, and that Gus himself studied with Scott Joplin, who instructed the young pianist on the importance of “swinging” on the beat (yes, you read that correctly).

all 78s are originals..
These are my grades ,E-,VG++,VG+,VG,VG-,G+......Highest to lowest for 78s.I only use E or E+ when the record looks almost new and unplayed or near perfect. E- or indeed VG++ are very nice copies and will be more than satisfactory to discerning collectors.
