Description

Excavated Shellac Auctions

Welcome to my auctions - I am a long-time buyer (and occasional seller) of 78s with a trustworthy and excellent record. This is my new handle strictly for selling 78s.

Disc: Okeh 65004
Artist: Sam Manning
Titles: The Bargee; Mabel (See What You Done)

Uncommon Okeh, recorded summer of 1925, featuring a tune written by Lionel Belasco (possibly Belasco on cuatro). Some of the earliest Calypso ever recorded. Unfortunately "The Bargee" side suffers from some very apparent groove wear. But "Mabel" is just as good and plays pretty well for a super rare acoustic Okeh.

Condition: VV+ (on "Mabel," plays nicely!), V- on "Bargee" (much more wear, but doesn't sound as bad as it looks)

Shipping:
I am a professional packer and shipper. I pack 78s using the standard, professional method: disc between 4 pieces of stiff cardboard, taped together in a sandwich, and placed in an oversized box for safety.

I will combine shipping. Media Mail shipping for 1-2 78s is $4. If you purchase additional 78s, I will calculate the shipping.

Important: Overseas buyers please do not send payment until you receive an invoice. Shipping will be calculated and invoiced to you as the shipping calculator via eBay is often incorrect.
