    Here’s a rare chance to get a Blind Willie McTell on Vocalion. I’ll be honest in saying that I really have a lot of trouble letting this go, and that it’s one of the best records that has ever passed through my hands, but that I simply cannot afford to keep a record this expensive, at this point. This does not mean I’m desperate, however. Don’t get the wrong idea, as some seem to. Before I get into it, I’ll mention the dig in the middle of side A that I mentioned “sometimes skips” before this edit. At the time, the tracking force on my tonearm was really light because I have a proper cartridge (like you should when you’re dealing with discs of this caliber), but I didn’t bother to adjust it because I never needed to with anything else. But I turned it up a tad, and tested that part a few times, and had zero trouble. As far as other defects, there’s some stripping on the grooves, there’s some blasting, and the pressing quality itself is pretty standard for 1933 (Depression-era blues recording could be sort of rough, even when newly pressed), but all things considered, it’s a pretty good record… And you’ll probably never find another copy of this for a good 10 to 25 years (that’s if you’re looking all that time), and perhaps not above V, either. So if you’re wanting it, consider that this might be the last opportunity you’ll have. I don’t have any sort of equipment to record as of yet, but I would like to get a recording for the convenience of any potential buyers. If I still haven’t done it when you see this, you have a serious interest in this record, and that recording might be a tipping point, then shoot me a message and I’ll double down on getting it for you. As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed). Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage. Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches. Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches. An average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced. Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive. Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level. Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise. Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive. Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
