For your consideration is this great 78 rpm record that was produced in 1928, Velvet Tone 1705-V, featuring "Hobo" Jack Turner singing The Bum Song and Hallelujah! I'm A Bum, the song that became the unofficial anthem for the down and out during the Great Depression. The record is in N- condition on the VJM grading scale, visually indistinguishable from new. The photos should substantiate its condition - I lack the means of playing records, so can't attest to its playability, but it should play extremely well. I have not attempted to clean it, for fear of doing the wrong thing. The odd reflections are me.
Buyer to pay $4.00 for USPS Media Mail shipping. The record will be shipped in a sleeve between 2 one inch thick sheets of foam inside a 12x12x2 box. Thanks for looking.
