What a great Blues 78 from EDDIE BOYD on the very desirable J.O.B. record label! The record # is: 1007. Side A. is: "Five Long Years" and Side B. is: "Blue Coat Man". The record is in decent condition. I would grade it in V+ condition. It has typical background noise from a lot of play, but still a very collectible record! The labels are in very nice condition with no writing, stickers or unusual wear! A solid play worthwhile of a spot in anybody's 78 collection! I have just made a major purchase of ultra rare rock, jazz & blues albums! They were from Radio Station Promotion Manager Lester "Len" Miller and are from his personal collection.

GRADING: STANDARD 78 RPM GRADING IS USED.

N- NEW MINUS: Full Original Luster. Appears Unplayed With No Signs Of Use. Highest Grade Used. Possible Slight Sleeve Or Storage Marks.

E- EXCELLENT MINUS: Some Luster Remains. Surface Shows Some Light Groove Wear, Light Scuffs And/Or Light Scratches. Still Pretty Clean. Acceptable To Most Collectors.

V+ VERY GOOD PLUS: Groove Wear, Scuffs And Scratches Are More Pronounced. Moderate Gray. Still A Decent Used Record With Moderate Surface Noise.

V VERY GOOD: Grooves Are Mostly Or Fully Gray Showing Deeper Wear. Obvious Surface Noise. Getting Rough Looking And Playing. An “Average Used 78” Is In The V To V+ Range.

V- VERY GOOD MINUS: Further Deterioration. Fully Gray With Deeper Groove Wear Causing Heavier Surface Noise.

SHIPPING DETAILS For International Bidders - If you wish to purchase insurance for your record, you can only do that by taking the PRIORITY MAIL option. US Postal Services does not offer insurance for 1st Class International. If an item weighs over 3 pounds it automatically has to ship PRIORITY MAIL. Priority Mail will run $33.00 including shipping packaging. 1st Class International will run somewhere around 15.50 and 22.00 depending on your location. Please be advised that sometimes a package can get held up in Customs. The reason is usually that they are checking for correct value declaration. I have heard that because of todays economical climate, that this will probably happen more frequently.

*DUE TO THE FRAGILE NATURE OF 78's... WE CAN ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR BREAKAGE... NO EXCEPTIONS!* If it is a very expensive artist and title, I highly suggest taking the insurance option for your protection! No matter how well an item can be packaged, a 78 record can be broken in transit. With Postal Services, items often get tossed around, dropped etc. with little regard to their fragility.
