Description
Very Rare Brunswick Records Test Pressing (according to the collector whose collection I have recently purchased: please if you have more information or questions, contact me)
Artist: Duke Ellington
Title: Swampy River
Format: Single: One sided test pressing
Label: Brunswick
Press: Test: Master B11850A. Nothing in dead wax
Released as Brunswick 6355
Year: New York May 17th 1932
Info: This record is not pressed on the hard shellac of regular releases. It is a bit more flexible. Back side is blank
Condition: I will be using VJM grading for all 78s
Record: Visually: E
Audio: I did not play this because of the fragility of test records. I will let the winner be the first to play it in decades.
Note: Audio grading is done with a pitch perfect Numark Turntable and a Stanton 500 - II Cartridge fitted with a Mono 78 Stylus.
Amp is a Vintage Harman Kardon with high filter set. Speaker: Single Mono Vintage Ampro. I feel this is a very close to authentic set up. I grade with Bass and Treble settings at zero for the most reliable read of actual record quality
