FOR SALE: Two Vogue Picture Discs $50 plus actual shipping
Posted: Sun Oct 27, 2019 4:35 pm
I have two Vogue Picture discs for sale as follows:
R707 Basin Street Blues; Sugar Blues -- Clyde McCoy and His Orchestra
R776 Vem Vem (The Cuban Kissing Game); Mujercita -- Eric Madriguera and His Orchestra, vocals by Danita Rodriguez and Patricia Gilmore, respectively
Each is in a white generic paper sleeve.
Both look very nice viewed directly; in other words, they display well, and Mujercita is a particularly lively, colorful picture. R707 has a few minor scuffs visible if you hold it angled to the light just so. R776 has lots of superficial scratches on the Mujercita side, much fewer on the Vem Vem side, in each case again visible only if you hold the record to the light at an angle. I have play tested both in the most unfavorable way I could conceive, with a stock Shure 78 RPM conical stylus (not with one of my custom truncated elliptical jobs from Expert). Both played through just fine, and the music in each case was clean--no blasting, no fuzz, no signs of wear from bad or heavy pickups. Both records, however, have noisy surfaces, R776 more so than R707. Not being much familiar with Vogues, I don't know if that's typical of the breed or specific to these two particular copies.
Photos below. The detail view of Mujercita was the best I could do to make it look as bad as possible.
I'm asking $50 for the pair plus actual media mail postage (unless you want shipping by some more expensive option) to be determined.
