WELCOME TO CASAMUSICUSA
YOU ARE LOOKING AT A RARE HISTORIC CUBAN-SON ETHNIC SPANISH 78RPM PHONOGRAPH RECORD FROM 1930 BY SEPTETO NACIONAL OF IGNACIO PIÑEIRO.
LABEL: BRUNSWICK
ARTIST: SEPTETO NACIONAL
TITLES: SUAVECITO – SON; INCITADORA REGION– SON
DESCRIPTION: This is a 1930 classic recording by legendary Cuban-son Septeto Nacional. This music group was (is) one of the most world famous and respected Cuban bands. The sones included on this recording, composed by the leader of the group, Ignacio Piñeiro, are two of the most beloved classic compositions in Cuban dance music of all time.
CONDITION: VG Mix of gloss and rub wear with surface noise with the usual background hiss and occasional pops. Label has scratckes near the spindle hole. Also, there are a few visible neddle runs on both sides of the record (see pictures) which do not cause my record player to skip or jump. Very playable copy; both sides play loud and clear. Still very enjoyable.
78s GRADING: I grade items visually, noting any defects such as scuffing and scratches, rim chips, or flakes, and hair or lam cracks. In addition to the visual grading, I also offer a brief description of the overall sound quality as I hear it on my record player and sound equipment. I do not use any state-of-the-art digital audio restoration software that removes hisses, clicks, pops, and crackles. Those sounds are “natural” in many 78s as they were recorded (by acoustic or electric means) and pressed with technology developed in the late 19th and first half of the 20th centuries.
As many avid collectors know, many of these 78rpm discs are extremely rare, hard to find, and in many cases may be unique examples. Thus grading them with a letter or number is beside the point. Recognizing that these recordings are exceptional, I was just lucky and happy to find a playable copy no matter in what condition I found them, and I hope you will be too.
I also hope the pictures will tell the overall story of their condition. However, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. ITEM SOLD AS IS.
I have been collecting 78 rpm discs since the early 1980s. I visited hundreds of record stores, flea markets, thrift stores, estates sales, and web-sites looking for these gems I am auctioning now. You could say I already did all the hard work for you. In addition, I am an ethnomusicologist (PhD) with an extensive knowledge of music and musicians from Mexico, Cuba, and the rest of Latin America. Many of these recordings were used to illustrate college courses I taught about Mexican, Cuban, and other Latin American musics. Thus, I can assure you will be bidding on important recordings. This is a great opportunity for you to start a great collection or add to your existing one, but I do not have to tell you this.
