Description
ARTIST: King Oliver and His Orchestra
LABEL: Victor polystyrene master tests, 64013-1 [unissued], -2 [issued 23388], -3 [unissued]
TITLES: Nelson Stomp
CONDITION: E+
DESCRIPTION: For King Oliver's last Victor session, 3 recordings of "Nelson Stomp" were made. Only take (-2) was released on 78, and Victor 23388 is very scarce. Although Dave Nelson was on the session, all the trumpet solos are by Oliver. Here's a chance to get master pressings off all three takes, the one that was issued, and the two unissued on 78. Jazz scholar KB Rau notes that this session was essentially the last one of a genuine King Oliver band, and it's a memorable one. While I was transferring these, it was interesting to hear take 3, especially, where the lead trumpet flubs the melody several times--easy to see why that take was rejected!
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.
