RARE ONE SIDED COLUMBIA CONCERT RECORD
CHINESE COLUMBIA 78 # 15582
RARE COLUMBIA RECORDS RELEASE (ONE-SIDED). Labels are as pictured and record is in V- to V condition (two small cracks that DO NOT affect play, several light scuffs / scratches, some greying areas, some pops & clicks and some distortion in louder passages, there is a chip on the BLANK side that DOES NOT affect play, some surface noise throughout BUT STILL VERY ENJOYABLE LISTEN - visual and play grading).
Please note that USA to international shipping rates increased again in January, 2016. The best way to save on shipping is to buy more than one record, which will lower your per-record shipping cost.
Buyer to pay postage:
- $20.00 shipping (Priority mail with tracking) within the US,
- $55.00 for international Priority or Express Mail postage with tracking.
Please note insurance will vary. All records are shipped in record-mailer boxes with sufficient packaging and protection.
Each 78 is graded carefully and conservatively using the standard VJM 78rpm grading system listed below:
N As new and 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+ V+ is 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.
NO RESERVE!
