Over the next few weeks we will be listing a batch of Pre-War Jazz, Dance Band, and Personality 78's each week.
Most of these are from the collection of Joseph Giordano, who was a well known Bix Beiderbecke collector and biographer. There's some nice Bix items in here!
We will happily combine multiple orders, so keep checking back for new arrivals on Thursday nights.
Label: Gennett 5654

John Tefteller is known world wide as an expert on records from 1920-1970. He is a contributor to many re-issues of original Blues songs and known everywhere as THE man to go to for evaluation of rare Blues 78's and advertising material from the 1920's to the 1950's.
On careful inspection the silicone used to fill the edge crack on this record does actually does just touch the first grooves. I carefully scraped the silicone back and it looks like the crack does reach that far on this side of the record. With that said, it still plays fine with no affect on the music. I've made a sample of the intro so you can hear for yourself.
Check out the short sample below. Samples are of actual record with NO noise reduction or alteration.
