RECORD DESCRIPTION 
Extremely rare Gabriel Formiggini record, original first pressing from 1927, Berlin!
Legendary cult record, nearly impossible to find nowadays!

"Static Strut""Black Bottom"  Electro-Vox 8443.  
"Static Strut" has a hot, uptempo arrangement with clarinet, piano, and sax solos. The second side is sedate by comparison, but has a few hot passages.  English vocal refrains on both sides.

CONDITION V+ (This record is in V+ condition generally, with some wear and scuffs here and there. In the middle of "Static Strut," there is a needle dig that gives 7 ticks, no needle jumps.  Audio quality is strong 6/10, the record is very enjoyable!)

GRADING   N (new)              Unplayed and showing no signs of wear.
E (excellent)       Showing only slight wear. Playing surfaces still retain much of their original shine. 
V (very good)     Somewhat more worn than an excellent record, slight grayness appearing in the grooves, especially in louder passages. Still a fairly clean and acceptable copy. Surface and extraneous noise is noticeable, but does not overwhelm the music.                         .
G (good)             Shows considerable wear and usage, grayness in the grooves, random mars and light abrasions from a sleeveless existence. Surface noise is audible.                       
F (fair)                Indicates the lowest grades of the condition code. 

Plus and minus signs are used to indicate slight differences in the grading.
