Description
Brown Wax Van Dyke 78 RPM Record 50 44 Joe Adams/James Clark <b>“Farm Relief Blues” / “’Leven Cent Cotton and Forty Cent Meat” E- Condition beautiful disc with one very light long scratch on “Farm” side. Farm Relief is about the hard scrabble life due to poor farm related prices and the promises made by politicians that were not coming through. Seems to be pre-FDR so I’m guessing early 1930’s.
More of all the types of records listed: Odd tunes, Political, Blues, Hot Jazz, Hillbilly, Odd labels, Doo-Wop, etc. US Shipping for records is Media Mail at $4 in USA for 1 record. I happily combine shipments when possible. International rates vary but most look like $24 for this weight via International First Class.
How we grade discs. Label condition noted if pertinent: Play noted if visible and sound don’t match.
E++, Visibly nearly new with no visible signs of wear or damage.
E+, Looks and plays like new with only few signs of handling and play.
E Still very shiny, near new looking, with slight visible signs of wear and a few nearly inaudible scuffs and scratches
E- Still shiny but without the luster of a new record, few scuffs that have little or no effect on play, some light scratches.
E- - Mostly shiny but with even less of the luster of an E- record, more scuffs than E-that have little or no effect on play, light scratches with some light noise.
VG+, Slightly above 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.
VG, An average condition 78 - moderate wear throughout, but still very playable and enjoyable. Surface somewhat dull with noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
VG-, Quite playable still, but with some distortion and may have some graying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level.
VG- - Quite playable still, but with distortion and most have some graying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches noticeable and may be loud at times.
G+ Quite worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise. Grey may be throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled.
G Not so good. Wear and scratch damage extensive. Listening can become uncomfortable as music and surface noise probably blending. Lowest level music can be understood.
G-, Music barely audible over surface noise & listening is uncomfortable. Record is borderline unplayable.
P Used only for high dollar space fillers like Black Patti, Okeh blues, etc. Music covered by surface noise, scratches, and needle digs, label may be trashed, & listening is almost if not definitely impossible. Record is basically unplayable. What you keep because you can’t bear to toss – while you look for that E+ copy of Robert Johnson on Vocalion at the local flea markets for $1 (Good Luck!)
