Description
Sound clips (where applicable) are recorded unfiltered directly from the record for sale using an Audio Technica LP120X with an AT-VM95SP cartridge.
RECORD CONDITION: V+
NOTES:
78s are graded using the VJM system, shown below for reference:
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.
