Perfect 0207 by Big Bill / Big Bill & his Jug Busters
How You Want It Done? / M & O Blues – G faded labels
not so Good condition with heavy wear & surface noise, side a - plays better than it looks (hear sound sample), side b - some break up in loud passages, faded labels, side one – solo performance with outstanding flatpicking guitar & vocals , side two – guitar & vocals with piano, kazoo & jug, ARC recordings, New York, 1932
Note: I slightly adjusted the color on these scans to make the labels easier to read. This era of ARC pressings (1932 - perfect, romeo, etc.) are a particularly thin shellac and feel a lot more fragile than most other 78s. This and the poor record sales of the depression probably attribute to the low survival rate.
I have been collecting & playing traditional blues for over 35 years. Many of the records offered for sale have been in my collection for some time. Records are graded visually and confirmed by playing. I grade 78s conservatively using the VJM scale. This means records graded N- are nearly spotless and records graded G, although considerably worn, still play with music being slightly dominant to surface noise. Specific flaws will be noted along with the grade.
N- (almost New) E+, E (Excellent, low surface noise) E-, V+, V (Very good, medium surface noise) V-, G+, G (not so Good, heavy surface noise but still plays) G-, F (Fairly bad) P (Poor)
