Muddy Waters, Long Distance Call b/w Hey Little Girl
Muddy Waters, Long Distance Call b/w Hey Little Girl.
Early UK issued Vogue Records 10" 78rpm disc, V2273.
Graded using the VJM Record Grading System which is detailed below.
A conservative V+. Surfaces still have a good gloss although there is one small area of greyish patina. A very few light scuffs and non-feelable scratches which don't look problematic. Grade would be higher if not for a dot of a just about feelable dig. I have played through this area and there are three consecutive ticks, not overly loud. There are no skips. Otherwise I have not play tested, as I only have a regular stylus and do not wish to damage the surfaces. However, there is nothing else on the disc that would lead me to believe it will not play bright and clean. No chips, fractures etc.
Labels are clean and marks around the spindle holes suggest some plays but lightly so.
Housed in a plain sleeve.
The VJM Record Grading System.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+ = 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 scatch damage extensive.
F = Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
P = Unplayable.
NB: Damage to labels should be noted whenever present.
