78 RPM 10": Bluebird B-11586 - Spike Jones and his City Slickers - Der Fuehrer's Face (Carl Grayson vocal) / I Wanna Go Back To West Virginia (Del Porter vocal) - 1942

Comments: Fully play tested. The Side A song is from the Walt Disney film "Nuttsey Land", a Donald Duck animation that was renamed to match the title of the song when the song became a big WWII hit.
Record Condition (For the Eyes): The record is graded EX. It is glossy with light surface scuffs. I noticed a slight wave when playing but the music is not affected at all.
Record Condition (For the Ears): Plays with no skips or sticks of course. Background record surface noise is generally mild. The music sounds great with superb sound reproduction. It's a satisfying listen. (I play-test on a Newcomb school-style phonograph with a 3 mil stylus.)
Sound Sample: I've uploaded a video that contains sound samples of both sides of the record. It is a major part of the description of this record. Crank up the volume for best results! If you hear static-click sounds when the view changes in the video, it is most likely from my phone microphone reacting to the movement and not in the music. You might have to view the sound sample on a computer (might not show up on a phone).
Labels Condition: The labels are great lookers with very little wear. The label text is easily readable and the graphics look good. There's no writing, stickers or tape on the labels.
Sleeve Type and Condition: Housed in a Bags Unlimited heavier white paper sleeve that is in excellent condition.

Please see the photos for more info and a look at condition.

A word on costs for safely shipping shellac 78 RPM records: They are fragile and easily breakable. (You know that!) If shipped in packaging that would be perfectly safe for a vinyl record, the chance of breakage is pretty good. I pack shellac 78's in an oversize box. The record is sandwiched between custom corrugated cardboard pads. The padded record is wrapped in bubble wrap for shock absorption. The whole bundle is surrounded by other padding such as wadded newspaper, packing peanuts and/or air pillows for a safe journey through the postal system. Proper packing materials cost me a bundle per package and the costs keep going up. On top of that, another pile of money is needed to buy the USPS media mail postage. Shipping costs are very real and add up to more than most people realize. It might not be apparent to you, but the amount that I ask you to pay for shipping is actually less than what it actually costs me to ship a record.

For items to be delivered outside of the USA, buyers should be aware that any customs fees / taxes that are required by your government are your responsibility and are not covered by the cost of the item or the shipping charges.

I promise to pack your item securely, no matter what it is. Everything I ship gets packed well, so don't worry about a thing. 
If appropriate I will add insurance coverage. Sometimes I will add signature tracking (USA) when your item is shipped. Signature tracking ensures that the postal service doesn't leave your valuable item unattended on your doorstep out in the sun or rain - it has to be handed over face to face. If you order something rare and/or worth a bit, be prepared to have to accept delivery in person.

When multiple items are shipped together, I can almost always give you a better deal on the shipping cost compared to the individual shipping costs. I promise to give you the best rate possible based on the items purchased and the shipping method required.
For "Buy It Now" items (most of what I offer), simply add each item that you want to your shopping cart. When ready to commit to buying, request a total from me from your cart and I'll send an invoice as soon as I can. Since I'm not a computer and I do other things like sleep and take the dogs for walks, you might not receive an immediate response, but I will get back to you as soon as possible. If you decide to pay for items you want individually instead of requesting a total from the shopping cart, I will promptly send back whatever money I can for a shipping discount.

• Some items are not compatible for combined shipping. 
• Combining shipping might require changing the shipping method or increase packaging materials expense. 
• A few items that I offer are not eligible for combined shipping. 
• Of course it is ok to ask about combined shipping costs up front. You have to tell me exactly what you intend to buy and where it will be shipped. I can't always give an exact cost, but I can at least give you an estimate.
• I reserve the right to limit the number or total value of items that I'm willing to send in a single package.
• For international sales I use ebay's international shipping program. Combined shipping depends on the ebay shipping program rules in place at the time of shipment. It is possible that no combined shipping discount is available for international orders.
