MAMIE SMITH
OKEH 4169
V
TITLES: A) CRAZY BLUES
B) IT'S RIGHT HERE FOR YOU
Record looks and plays V. No skips or stuck grooves. Still has some gloss and a few light scratches. Label wear on the B side label ( see scans).
Regarded as the FIRST blues or race record and the first recording aimed specifically toward the Afro-American market.
I use standard VJM 78 record grading method with grades of: E+, E, E-, V+, V, V-, G+, G, G-, and P in descending order. See grading info in pics. I do not grade 78's at M or M- as I can not be certain that they have NEVER been played. G- and P records are only listed if they are extremely rare or of significant historical value. Domestic shipping is by USPS Media Mail. International shipping is by International First Class, unless otherwise requested. A $2.50 charge is included in shipping costs for new packing materials. I have successfully shipped over 1000 78's in the past 30 years and i assure you that your record will arrive intact. See my feedback for info on my packaging. In that grading can be conjectural, your satisfaction is guaranteed or your money will be cheerfully refunded. Feel free to ask questions. See my other items. Thanks for looking. ENJOY!
