Description
My car is "telling me" its time I thought about replacing it with something a little newer so it seems I will have to part with some of my model railway treasures.
The Record
Conway Twitty's (Harold Jenkins and his House Rockers) first release in the Uk and as a 78rpm pressing only. I doubt if many copies of this disc were pressed let alone sold. It would be another year before Mr Twitty would find chart success in the Uk with "It's Only Make Believe" (Nov.1958)
This is a vinyl 78rpm record and I will grade and mail it as though it were a Lp rather than a shellac 78rpm.
1957 Uk Mercury vinyl 78rpm 10inch single MT173: Shake it up / Maybe Baby (Note - this is a song penned by Conway Twitty not the song recorded by Buddy Holly and The Crickets). In a plain white card sleeve.
Condition -
All records are played through before I place them on eBay to ensure there are no jumps, sticking etc.
Clean and bright; light surface wear/grazing with some marking; plays very well (great rocker!!) with good strong sound, no jumps or sticking; occasional light background surface "pips" lost in the overall volume of the recording; VG.

CONDITION GRADING.
For vinyl records I use Record Collector grading with +/- to give some fine tuning. I feel that grading scale does not sit comfortably for 78s therefore I use the following:-
- Mint - The record is as new - in the condition when purchased new from the record shop. My main area of record collecting is the 1950/60s and I do not believe many "pop" records (if any) from that period are in mint condition. Back then we bought records to play and play them we did!! You will find I rarely use "mint" or "near mint" - how near is near!!
- Excellent (EX) - clean black surface with no or little groove wear. Possibly a small amount of light surface marking but not deep scratches. There may be some shadowing (pencilling) in the shellac which is one of the inherent features of this material. The labels are clean and unmarked.
- Very Good (VG) - the record is listenable but some groove wear as evidenced by a dullish black surface, some light scratches and possibly a little light damage. Labels may be lightly marked.
- Good - playable with much surface noise - the record has seen considerable play/wear - greying surface, scratching and possible damage. Labels may be damaged.
