Description
For sale is a one sided test pressing of Lonesome Reverie recorded 1939. The matrix is stamped 34761A and I assume its a Victor. Un-issued until the LP era from the research I have done. Record is one sided and in E- condition. It plays great and is solo stride piano from Johnson.
If any of this info is wrong or if you can add to the description I will edit the sale description accordingly.
This is a rare one of a kind item.
Records will be packed properly and sent media mail.
Before leaving feedback please contact me first if dissatisfied for any reason. I have sold 100's of 78 records through Ebay,Discogs and Quimbay.
E+ Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
E Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
E- Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches. LP: Some wear, scratches and scuffs, but no skipped or repeat grooves.
V+ V+ is an average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced. LP: Below average with scuffs and scratches on fewer than half the tracks. No skips or repeat grooves.
V Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
V- Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level. LP: Lowest Grade. Audible scratches, etc. on more than half the tracks. Listening uncomfortable.
G+ Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
G (78). Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
