Description

JIMMIE RODGERS Blue Yodeler HAND-ASSEMBLED SONGBOOK and 1953 Fan Club Journal
This listing is for these items:
A brown hardbound binder that a Jimmie Rodgers devotee assembled from two 1943 Peer International Corporation 64-page songbooks: Jimmie Rodgers Album of Songs – Supreme Edition and Jimmie Rodgers Album of Songs – Blue Yodel Edition. Pieces of the original covers have been glued to the front of the binder and the bottoms and edges of the inner pages have been somewhat crudely trimmed to fit the binder. The pages are worn but intact and there are blue ink stains at the bottom edges of some, light brown stains on others, and a larger blue ink stain on the pages of Blue Yodel No. 8, plus some writing in pencil on Pistol Packin’ Papa. The binder model is The Torsion Binder, from Birmingham, Alabama.
Vol. 1, No. 2 of America’s Blue Yodeler – Jimmie Rodgers Fan Club Journal (Spring 1953), published by Jim Evans of Lubbock, Texas. The cover of the 4-page newsletter is an artist’s depiction of the Jimmie Rodgers Memorial monument that you can now see in Meridian, Mississippi, and the news in the newsletter is about the upcoming dedication of that monument on May 26, 1953. Pages yellowed, creased and torn along the edge and there are small stains, but all the text and photos are intact.

GRADING: LPs, EPs and 45s are graded M (mint), NM (near mint), VG+, VG (very good), VG-, G+, G (good), G-, F (fair), and P (poor).
A VG+ record may have some visible scuffs and light scratches and plays well with little surface noise. Scratches on records graded VG and VG- may be deep enough to feel with your fingernail, or there may be scuffs or scratches throughout that cause surface noise. On records in the G+, G and G- range the level of the music is still above the surface noise caused by scuffs and scratches. Surface noise is as loud as the music on records graded F and louder than the music on P records. P records are likely to be unplayable.
[+ and - denote in-between grades. Grades with a slash in between indicate the condition of Side A/Side B.]
Jackets graded VG+ have only slight wear; jackets graded VG are more worn but still intact unless defects are noted. G jackets show definite damage and F and P jackets are probably falling apart. Splits, markings, cut corners, and other defects will be noted.
