Hi everyone !

Todays listings will be somewhat common, and some that are not very common These are part of my record collection that spans OVER 30 years!!! My collection contains mostly 45’s and quite a lot of 78's, and quite a few goodies on 33's, too !! (sorry , no classical music, though).

Notice to buyers : You will notice my even LOWER starting bid prices, so that EVERYONE can afford to own these great records. Perfect for buying, trading, and selling !!!        And each record will come in it's own paper sleeve.

All I can say on THIS record is WOW !!!!!     Can YOU BELIEVE IT???!!    An actual ORIGINAL  PARAMOUNT 1926  "BLIND LEMON JEFFERSON" !!    Record #  12354 .       Flip side is    Got the blues .          How this (and others) have survived for so long, ESPECIALLY in this condition state is overwhelming!!!     And again I will add in EXCELLENT SHAPE for an 82 year old record, too!!      Labels are in unbelievably FANTASTIC SHAPE  (see photos),  and  playing surfaces have MINOR WEAR ONLY, with a some minor surface scratches,  YES I did say surface scratches.   There are NO major flaws in this disc AT ALL!!!    Please view the pictures I have provided.   I know they aren't the best, so I apologize for that.       I test played this record, and in truth,  there, of course is the typical background noise that is SO typical of soft playing PARAMOUNTS, but it doesn't overpower Vocal .  And there was NO SKIPS AT ALL!   Got the blues plays a bit better.     Visually,  there is NO greying, skips, cracks, chips, warps, pitting on grooves  WHATSOEVER, which makes this record even MORE RARE than it already is !!!!!    I will grade this disc a safe VG++/ NM- !!!!!    PLEASE e-mail me with any questions !!     

This auction and more to follow will have quite a few RARE and EXCEPTIONAL discs. See my other items !!!

ALWAYS REMEMBER I grade very strict, and very honestly of ALL that I sell. I will do my best to represent the description of the merchandise as best that I can, and try not to leave anything out. In the event that there is any information that I missed, and if you should EVER have ANY questions regarding ANY of my collection that I am selling, PLEASE DON’T HESITATE TO ASK ME !!! I will ALWAYS respect the fact that you need to know as much about what you’re buying, so that you can make an educated decision. This will apply to ANY records at ANY time, that I sell And all are made in the great U.S.of A. !!!!

 I visually grade all my records very conservatively with a 10-point grading system: AND, all of my records are free of tape, writing, tears, stains, warps, stickers, number stickers, unless otherwise noted. I will NEVER sell ANY record at ANY time that is lower than a grade 4 (because I don’t have any !!)

 Here's what the grading means:

10 = MINT

 9 = Near MINT

8 = Better than VG, But below NM

7 = Very Good

6 = Better than Good, But below Very Good

5 = GOOD

4 = Better than Poor, but below Good

3 = POOR

2 = Really trashed

 1 = Frisbee !!

 I will now, for your information, give you a description of the Grading conditions that I have placed on these records :

MINT = Never played, awesome surfaces with NO defects !!

N MINT = Beautiful labels, beautiful playing surfaces, but has been played slightly

VG + = Same as above, but played a bit more. Just a small amount of VERY SLIGHT / light surface scratches.

VG = Labels clean, but VERY SLIGHT ring wear. Playing surfaces show a little bit more light surface scratches / or very light surface scuffs.

VG - = Labels have light / medium ring wear, light surface scratches/ or scuffs. Has been played quite a bit.

G + = Labels have medium to heavy ring wear, many light surface scratches/ or many scuffs. Has been played alot, but still is an exceptable copy.

G = Labels have wear, and some wear damage. Surface scuffs and scratches are quite prevelent ( I will RARELY sell any of these, unless it is rare !!).

FOR EVERYONE; I will always combine orders, and you will save SO MUCH $$ !!!

FEEDBACK Feedback is the most effective way to either praise or destroy a persons reputation. I always make it a point to leave feedback for buyers and sellers alike.
