Nice lot of 3 vintage 78 rpm records! Record labels include: RCA Victor and Bluebird Records. In order of appearance in the pictures, they are:
1.) #20-2105-A/B - Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup - “I Want My Lovin'” on one side, and “You Got to Reap” on the other side.
2.) #B-11462-A/B - Glenn Miller and his Orchestra - “Story of a Starry Night” on one side, and “Skylark-Fox Trot” on the other side.
3.) #B-8529-A/B - Jazz Gillum - “She Belongs to Me” on one side, and “Key to the Highway” on the other side.
The two Bluebird records are very clean, with only a few minor scuffs and light scratches, but nothing that affects the sound quality much. The RCA Victor record, on the other hand, has a spot where the record broke off and was glued back on. It was not tested, but I'm sure this would affect the sound quality, if not make it unplayable. There is also a hairline crack in the record near this spot that goes across that side the record. I tried to highlight these spots in the photos. All of the record labels also show signs of being dropped on the post, with some scratches and wear showing in these locations, along with a little fading. Please see pictures for best idea of condition. Nevertheless, a cool set of vintage songs!
