OKeh 8480

Record Condition:

All records are and have been stored in a climate controlled environment in special shelving made for these records. Some records may have a grade noted on them or their sleeve, this may or may not be the current grade of the record, since Jim passed away almost three years ago and had been in a nursing home for several years prior to that. We have not played any records we list, visual description only.

Plain sleeve, nice black label and the record is black with good shine. It has many small light scratches and some needle runs are seen on Damfino Stump side and a few very small ones on the other side.  On the opposite side @ 7:00 beginning of play there appears to be a possible 1 inch lamination crack you can feel a slight raised place but it is not through to other side. At the same place on the very outside edge is a tiny rim chip and another one at 9:00 neither are even close to the grooves. Sells as is, no return. SEE PICTURES!
