Wild Blues Rockabilly Harmonica Frank STEP IT UP AND GO / SWAMP ROOT Chess 1475

$

138

Straight out of a 1920's Medicine Show and Stepped Right into Chess Studios in 1951, just some crazy great sides here on early Chess #1475-A, U-80 and U-82.  Rockabilly Blues Hokum, whatever you call it, it's some fun stuff.

CONDITION V+, Bottle side has some light groove wear.  Music comes through great on both sides, and these are acoustic guitar harmonica performances, rare on Chess, but these instruments come through clear and great.  Just some light sizzle behind both sides.

Item will be packed with appropriate care to ensure safe delivery.  Please note my feedback as a seller, I ship many 78s in deep boxes with proper shock absorption.  I know the desperate feeling of receiving an eagerly anticipated record in a shallow box or glorified envelope.  Won't happen with me.  See Shipping Rates below.

SHIPPING: I pack the 78 to float safely in in a sleeve between two slats of cardboard, surrounded by bubble wrap and/or peanuts/newspaper, floating in a roughly 12x12x6 box.  Firm but not to the point of fearing for the record's well being.  I don't tape the edges of records. I reuse boxes and packing materials but will use new materials at buyer request.  Will be shipped via Media Mail, with tracking #, buyer pays insurance for purchases over $35, insurance is at buyer request below that amount.

I like the VJM grading system for 78 RPM records:

• N. As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
• N-. Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
• E+. Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
• E . Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
• E-. Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.
• V+. An 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
• V. Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
• V-. Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level.
• G+. Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
• G. Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
• G-. Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.
• F. Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
• P. Unplayable
