Description
Found in an estate with many 78 RPM in the Jazz genre, big band, bop, and similar styles. This one was found in a 12" binder. Blue Note 6, with the blue and white label, and the 10 W. 47th St. NYC address on the label. Discogs provides this overall title, with different artists on Side A and B, and the two songs: Port Of Harlem Seven / Sidney Bechet Quintet – Pounding Heart Blues / Summertime . This is a 1941 "repress"; the original version was released in 1939. There are a lot of visible deep clean grooves seen but overlain with a good number of visible light scratch or scuff marks, not feelable. I will visually grade this as VG only, recognizing this is an 80+ year shellac and I grade these differently than vinyl LPs. With a similar surface in vinyl (clear grooves seen but overlain with a good deal of light scuffing, etc), I would grade the record somewhere in the range of F to G.
