Original record: we do not sell any reproductions.
What you see in the photographs is exactly what you bidding on.  Almost all of our items are pre-owned and are sold "as is". Normal wear on vintage and antique items should be expected.  We will do our best to describe any wear, defects or other issues, if any, within the item description and visually with photos.  Before bidding, please feel free to email us with any questions.
During the 50's and 60's, most single records were pressed in both 45 rpm and 78 rpm formats. I have aurally demonstrated time and time again that the audio quality of 78's far exceed that of 45's pressed during the same time period. Of course this is assuming that both records are in VG++ to E+ condition and are both being played with decent audio components, the correct EQ and the respective correct styli (~2.7-3 mil for 78's and ~0.7-1.0 mil for 45's). Like anything in life, there are exceptions yet with this aural observation, there are not too many.
I use the internationally recognized VJM record grading system for 78's.
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 luster of a new record, few light scratches.
V+. In 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.
