Description
'Lectric Chair Blues V
See That My Grave Is Kept Clean V-
Noise and pops as expected but both Sides play through fine no hangs, start noisier and play cleaner soon thereafter. Listenable copy of one of Blind Lemon's best.
Ask any questions, note my feedback and bid with confidence.
SHIPPING: $4.00 SHIPPING AND CONSIDERATE HANDLING within U.S.. I usually ship next day, sometimes same day whenever possible. I pack the 78 firmly (but not too firmly) in a sleeve between two slats of cardboard, surrounded by bubble wrap and/or peanuts/newspaper. I don't tape the edges of records. Will be shipped via Media Mail, with tracking #, and with insurance for any record over $25. International bidders to countries indicated. Listed price is maximum, signature confirmation and insurance required unless buyer assumes loss risk.
I like the VJM grading system for 78 RPM records:
- N. As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
- N-. Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
- E+. Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
- E . Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
- E-. Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.
- V+. 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
- V. Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
- V-. 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.
- G+. Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
- G. Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
- G-. Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.
- F. Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
- P. Unplayable.
