Description

***NOTE: THIS IS A POLYURETHANE MASTER PRESSING AND NOT AN ORIGINAL ISSUE. MADE FROM A HIGH-RESOLUTION SILICONE MOLD AND EXTREMELY HIGH-VISCOSITY POLYURETHANE RESIN.

I HAVE BEEN MAKING THESE FOR COLLECTORS FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW, AND MANY SOUND ENGINEERS AND COLLECTORS CAN ATTEST TO THEIR QUALITY. CONTACT ME DIRECTLY IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR WOULD LIKE A LIST OF ITEMS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE***
ARTIST:  Jelly-Roll Morton and His Red Hot Peppers
LABEL:   Victor 23321

TITLES:  Oil Well / If Someone Would Only Love Me (set of two single-sided polyurethane master presses)
CONDITION:  E+
DESCRIPTION: Pristine polyurethane master presses of a true Morton rarity. Probably fewer than 15 copies of the original exist, and of those only a handful are E+. 
Due to the difficult nature of protecting the original label, the label and runout areas of the copies are a bit irregular and may have some light sanding marks and other schmutz. The grooves on all of these are pristine. 
78 GRADING:  We use the universally recognized VJM (Vintage Jazz Mart) 78 rpm system in grading our 78s with some streamlining as noted,  eliminating some of the hair splitting on records graded V- and below (G+, G, G-, F).  

E+

Highest grade used. A record that might have minor handling marks but has no visible signs of wear.  N, N- and E+ records will all be graded as E+.


E
Record has slight signs of handling and use but groove wear should be barely detectable and grooves should still be glossy and black. 

E-
Light groove wear with grey rubbing and light circular gray grooves starting to appear, but record should still retain glossy black grooves for almost all of the surface.

V+
Grey wear, handling and groove wear more apparent, but much of the groove area will still have black.

V
Record is approaching an overall grey surface with uniform wear, but will still play well even though the level of surface noise and distortion could be distracting.

V-
Record has wear throughout, and was subject to continual playing to wring more sound out of it, so even the grey is in a more advanced state of deterioration with groove walls disappearing.

P
This grade generally indicates poor condition on a good title.
