78 rpm: 78 rpm (Calypso) Wilmoth Houdini Songs of Trinidad Brunswick album (4 discs)

Songs of Trinidad

Brunswick album B-1023

Wilmoth Houdini with Gerald Clark's Night Owls. 1931 recordings originally on the Brunswick 7000 race series. 4 records and booklet.

1. The Cooks In Trinidad / No Mo' Bench And Board
   
2. Arima Tonight, Sangre Grande Tomorrow Night / I Need A Man
   
3. Sweet Papa Willie / Honey, I'm Bound To Go
   
4. Black But Sweet / Stop Coming And Come
   

Condition: album - very good (moderate cover and edge wear), records - all V+ (all with a slight warp which swishes on the first 2 records), booklet is glued to the inside from cover and the inside pages are loose.

I use the VJM grading system for 78 RPM records:

• N. As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
• N-. Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
• 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.
• V+. 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
• 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.
• G+. Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
• G. Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
• G-. Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.
• F. Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
• P. Unplayable.

Winning bidder to pay $6.50 shipping in the United States. Shipping discount for multiple 78s. Insurance, if desired, is extra.

I have a number of other records at fixed prices in my store.

Good luck!
