Description

OOPS!  Still having trouble re genre listing!  This is NOT "Classical" nor "Opera!"  But the previous two or three records were!  

So anyway:  Here's a nice rare ragtime selection!  It's Zonophone 655 (mx. 7149), "Slippery Day - Novelty Two-step" by the Zonophone Concert Band.  Anybody know who composed this?

NOTE:  For a couple of reasons--one of which is my less-than-perfect hearing--my grading is visual.  But I did play this one for content--very fast performance!

Visual Grade:  V-, unfortunately!  Grey grooves (see photo), scuffs and scratches.  No needle drops nor gouges. One groove skip about 1 inch in from start, but this is on a modern machine with lp needle!  It may pass on your audiophile equipment, but of course I cannot guarantee that!

Relatively new to selling on eBay, but I've been dealing in 78s off and on since the 1970s, so I know how to pack them.

SPECIAL NOTE:  eBay's blanket $4.00 shipping charge figure may not apply on some shipments.  If you are high bidder on records from me, please wait for my invoice before submitting the PayPal payment.  This will be greatly appreciated.  Also, please let me know if you want this item held for combining with other records currently being offered.  I am *always* happy to provide combined-item service for you to save you money on shipping costs!

I am authorized to collect and pay the State Sales Tax on all shipments to any address within New York State.  Buyers understand that this tax will be added to the shipping charge wherever applicable.

Please see my other items to be listed later tonight and probably Saturday night.  (More children's records later.)  Thank you for looking and bidding, and I invite you to check out my Feedback.  Good luck!

MORE INFO!:  Insurance (and perhaps delivery confirmation) will be added to this record if it sells substantially high or if part of a combined shipment, for the protection of both buyer and seller!  Buyer uinderstands that the costs of these services will be added to the shipping cost, if applicable.
