Here is one of the most popular Jazz Bands of the 20's & 30's Fletcher Henderson and his orchestra with two great early Jazz Selections "Lots O Mamma " and "Cotton Picker's Ball" .  This is a beautiful larger label Red Vocalion  Matrix 14759 from early 1924, retaining its original glossy shine and very strong E Condition (See photos and Grading below). .   Payment is by Paypal, and shipment in the USA will be by USPS Priority Mail.  Please wait for invoice before paying as the cost of shipping will vary depending on your location. All records are packed safely, sandwiched in Cardboard and surrounded by bubble wrap and Marked FRAGILE.  I have set a very reasonable minimum and no Reserve.  Good Luck !!

My grading system is simple 

 

M   I was transported back in time to a record store and purchased new stock and returned to 2016.  

 

M-  It looks like new old stock but I can't prove it. 

 

E+ It looks and plays really fantastic, visual grading under light detected minimal hard to see scuffs and maybe some tiny surface scratches

 

E  It has been obviously been handled and played a number of times, may have a few minor scuffs and surface scratches as you would find on most records of this vintage, but still plays really great 

 

E- , quite a few signs of scuffing and other surface blemishes and scratches along with noticeable but not distracting surface noise but still enjoyable .

 

G+  A serious collector would turn his nose up at it, but a beginner would jump in, sound quality far from great, starting to fade much more gray and little gloss left, and almost ready for the Old record retirement home.  

 

G   Been through a war and looks like it was played 100's of times with worn steel needle,  A wall hanger or target practice item, or for those who just wanted to say they have one.
