This is Casey Bill (Weldon) doing "Casey Blues" and "I'se Just a Bad Luck Man" on Bluebird 6519.

Overall the record has a beautiful label, nice luster, and plays great, and woudl have been an E+ but for one flaw, a pressure crack about 1 inch in.  It does not affect the play on side A, but does have a few skips early on side B.  It has not grown any since I purchased it.   

Side A - Casey Blues - E-  Plays strong all the way through with no skips and relatively clear sound.  The crack looks bad but plays great.

Side B - I'se Just a Bad Luck Man - V+  Plays strong except for several early skips.  The crack is very difficult to see, but skips early and then clears up.  Clear strong sound throughout though.
This is a good chance to get a great and desirable record for an affordable price.

GRADING -

All Records are visually AND play graded on a Dual 1019 record player with a Shure magnetic cartridge with no filters and flat response. 

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.
