BESSIE SMITH/CLARA SMITH COLUMBIA LOT OF 3 78s. ALL RECORDS IN THIS LOT ARE IN VJM "V" RANGE. ALL PLAY WELL from beginning to end with some surface noise, perhaps a pop here or there, some mild swish or rumble. Early 1920s Bessie & Clara. Shipping costs at actual price, to be added to total. 1) CLARA SMITH on Col 12D - Gold Flag acoustic: Kansas City Man Blues/Uncle Sam Blues Fletcher Henderson/Stanley Miller accompanies on piano 2) BESSIE SMITH on Col 14051 - Gold Flag acoustic: Dying Gambler's Blues/Sing Sing Prison Blues Acc by Buster Bailey, Don Redman, Fred Longshaw 3) BESSIE SMITH on Col A3939 - Blue acoustic Lady-Luck Blues/Yodling Blues (yes, spelled like that) Fletcher Henderson, piano I collect 78s. If you buy one of my records I'd like you to enjoy it too: everything on my end will be done properly to ensure your satisfaction. I have been buying and selling 78s for years, I grade conservatively and according to VJM standards, so the record you get may actually grade higher than stated. I pack and ship properly with boarded sandwiches floated in ample packing material and in 12x12x5 boxes. PLEASE SEE MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR RECORDS BY BESSIE SMITH, CLARA SMITH, SODARISA MILLER, HELEN BAXTER, LUCILLE HEGAMIN AND OTHERS.
