SH-H! HERE COMES MY SUGAR / AFTER AWHILE
RARE!
Full Transfer 'Sh-h' Side Full with a 3.0 stylus on a cheap new Crosley style suitcase player:: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcTGEnHtAdg
This record is complicated. Surface looks rarely if ever played, very few handling marks, scrapes or scratches and plays through start to finish no tracking issues. Now trying to figure out the history of the record, perhaps it was stored in a damp environment? Because there is a very slight grain to the surface that causes extra background and slight muffling. The record is very slightly bowed, and has some faint lines (nothing close to a crack, just storage lines as appear after years/decades of storage) within the surface as well as a very slight wave that tracks fine. All this in mind, I played it with the same needle as the State Street Ramblers Electrobeam I just listed and this record plays about V- for me, with the aforementioned extra background and slight muffling. You might have a stylus or a cleaning process that helps, or knowledge about the recording session that helps you get a better signal, since, again, the surface does not look that bad. Either way, this is the only copy of this record ever to surface online. Third Rail ( Gennett 6380 from the Same Session) has surfaced only a couple of times. Tough!
Please ask any questions, I'll do my best to answer as quickly as possible.

GRADING
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
