This is regarded by most "early jazz" enthusiasts as the definitive discography for these years. It is in two volumes: A-K and L-Z.
“Most fields of collecting have their standard reference books from which information on specific areas of interest can be gleaned… In the world of jazz record collecting, the definitive guide to 78 rpm records is
Jazz Records 1897-1942
, a veritable ‘bible’ of information on jazz recordings made during the first half of the 20th century… Included are recordings made by commercial dance bands and singers, with the proviso that they contained improvised solos—‘hot’ dance music, in other words. Ragtime recordings are also listed” (Nick Dellow).

GRADING. Grading is visual only unless otherwise stated. I go by Goldmine standards and try to be conservative. I will play grade on certain items only - it is just impossible for me to play grade everything I put on EB
AY
.
MINT means factory sealed, never opened or played. NM is opened but in visually brand new, out-of-the-packaging clean condition.
NM- is
not
NM! Its a grade above VG
+
+ and below Near Mint - it does not imply perfect. In my termino
lo
gy Scratches are feeler type and Scuffs are just cosmetic and
usually
inaudible.
DISCLAIMER. Due to
the
number of frivolous retur
n
s which were unwarranted
, and due to the nature of sound recorded products that can be easily copied,
there will no longer be a free return policy. I will charge a

0.00 return fee for all returns - this amount will be
deducted from the Paypal refund of the
returned item.
If item is truly defective the
entire purchase amount
