Description
This is an E+ Condition record (see grading below). This is a really wonderful jazz recording featuring the legendary Billy Holiday with Teddy Wilson and his orchestra. This was recorded on July 2, 1935 at Billy Holiday’s first recording session for Brunswick. Featured in the Teddy Wilson Orchestra at that time were Roy Eldridge, Benny Goodman, Ben Webster, Teddy Wilson, John Trueheart, John Kirby Cozy Cole, and of course Billy Holiday doing the vocal. The Selections are I Wished on the Moon and Miss Brown to You. Both songs were featured in the Big Broadcast of 1936. This is Brunswick 7501 (Matrices are B 17766 & B 17768) .

My grading system is simple
M - I was transported back in time to a record store and purchased new stock and returned to 2016.
M- It looks like new old stock but I can't prove it.
E+ It looks and plays really fantastic, visual grading under light detected minimal hard to see scuffs and maybe some tiny surface scratches
E It has been obviously been handled and played a number of times, typical minor scuffs and some surface scratches as you would find on most records of this vintage, but still plays really great
E- , quite a few signs of scuffing and other surface blemishes and scratches but still enjoyable.
G+ A serious collector would turn his nose up at it, but a beginner would jump in, sound quality far from great, starting to fade much more gray and little gloss left, and almost ready for the Old record retirement home.
G Been through a war and looks like it was played 100's of times with worn steel needle, A wall hanger or target practice item, or for those who just wanted to say they have one.
