Description
Light scuffed area from going in and out of sleeves. One very light scratch NAP. Otherwise E+ looks only to have been played a few times. Beautiful record, GREAT early Jelly Roll on Paramount 14000 Series from the 1940s.
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.
