BILL NETTLES & DIXIE BLUE BOYS 1938 Western Swing 78 Sugar Baby Blues DAL
BILL NETTLES & HIS DIXIE BLUE BOYS. Vocalion 04655 (US) Sugar Baby Blues/She’s Selling What She Used To Give Away.Here are two lively Western-swing influenced sides from the great hillbilly artist, Bill Nettles, known for his great late 40s ‘boogie’ sides. Recorded in Dallas, TX, December 4-38. Both sides have DAL matrix numbers.
This 78 visually grades a nice E to E- (EE-) with light signs of use on the ‘A’ side. ‘B’ side looks more like a solid V+++ (as opposed to E--) with some light wear and a few very light scratches. Spot-checked. There is a small collapsed pressing bubble on the ‘A; side that ticks two or three times. Other than that, both sides play strong with a touch of mild surface noise in spots. Labels are fine with some slight fading on the ‘B’ side.
Please check my other auctions for more great 78s. I’m happy to combine multiple auctions to help get the best shipping rates. And, don’t forget, I can ship up to two 78s for the same price as shipping one. As well, in most cases, I can ship up to six 78s for the same price as shipping three.
With the ever-rising costs of shipping 78s, I’m happy to hold records for you buyers who want to fill up a box – on a ‘pay as you go’ basis, please.
78s come in used but nice vintage green sleeves or, when possible, original paper sleeves.
I do my spot-checking and play testing on a Technics 1200 turntable with a Stanton 500 cartridge using a standard Stanton 2.7 stylus. The amp is a mid-70s Pro-Linear with the mono switch activated. The speakers are small professional recording studio monitors (Yamaha NS 10) that are known for being overly bright – great for spotting that mild surface noise!
I ship 78s as I like to receive them - using the four-sheet 10” cardboard sandwich, foam chips, 12" x 12" x 4 "(or 6") box method.
I use standard 78 grading (E+, E, E-, V+, V, V- etc). I’ll sometimes use double plus or minus signs to really hone in on the shape.
NOTE TO ALL BUYERS. eBay’s new final-value-fee on shipping charges plus the very-strong Canadian dollar has resulted in another increase in shipping costs.
A NOTE ON SHIPPING AND HANDLING: At eBay’s urging, I’m now using the shipping calculator to show shipping costs for up to two 78s.US BUYERS - shipping calculator rates are for surface shipping.
CANADIAN BUYERS – the shipping calculator will give you rates for surface shipping. Also, since I’m mailing from British Columbia, 12 % HST (on shipping only) will be added to the invoice of all Canadian orders.
ALL OTHER INTERNATIONAL BUYERS - shipping calculator rates are for airmail. International surface shipping can take a long time to reach you – up to two months – so is not recommended.
I've had to add a small fee to help cover the extra costs of: 1. packing materials (boxes, cardboard pads, foam chips, etc), 2. eBay’s new final-value-fees on shipping charges, 3. fees incurred by PayPal on shipping charges.
There is no ‘handling charge’ for the time I take to properly pack your precious, fragile 78 for safe travel.
Please drop me a note if you have any questions.

Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
