Description: No records that I sell will be less than VG, and most will be VG+ or better, at least for now. I've had these at least 30 years, so they're either first presses or early reissues. You are buying or bidding on a rare signed EP 45 by Earl Bostic And His Orch. Titles are Steamwhistle Jump / Smoke Rings / Serenade / Ain't Misbehavin' by King Records EP-207 (KEP-16) from 1953. The signature appears to be in pencil and not verified. It looks like other signatures of his I've looked up. I did play test this, I'd say it's a good VG+. It has some scuffs and light scratches, a couple minor crackles, but was a real pleasure to listen to, no scratches that affect play. In video above I started right at very beginning which is where the worst of crackles are after that , pretty much nothing. This still has that new shine. This originally came in a picture sleeve (not included) titled "Earl Bostic And His Alto Sax Vol. 8" released in 1953. This is in a new anti static white sleeve. I have another like this listed, make an offer on both! I'll put a grading chart below for how I grade records...I don't really grade jackets.(see pics). I give up on trying to get matrix pics. I try to match on Discogs as best as I can. If you want to know the matrix numbers better than my interpretation email me, I'll try to get decent pics. This will ship USPS Ground Advantage with insurance. This has short ultrasonic clean (if it's needed) and distilled water spin clean rinse. I will combine shipping.(see pics, they are the biggest part of description) You get what you see in the pics. Check shipping details. My records ship properly packaged in actual record mailers that I purchase. See my other listings. Please leave positive feedback when received if you are pleased with purchase. I will leave positive feedback in return. EX+ (Near Mint): Vinyl: Nearly flawless, with possible minor scuffs or hairlines only visible under strong light. EX (Excellent): Vinyl: Bright, with minor surface wear and hairlines, not affecting play. VG+ (Very Good Plus): Vinyl: Obvious wear, scuffs and hairlines, plays with some noise but no major sound issues. A little crackle or faint tick. VG (Very Good): Vinyl: Dull appearance with many hairlines and scuffs, somehow plays with persistent noise but no skips. PLEASE READ! If there is a problem please contact me before leaving negative or neutral feedback, and we can work something out. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!
