Description
Rare blues record on Paramount Electric 12727. Visually grades VG. Record still has decent shine. No skipping, No needle digs, No chips, No warps or cracks. Has about 3 short, mild scratches that can be felt on A side at 1,2 and 7 o'clock. Has a mildly deep scratch across the left on B side. Graying in grooves and mild surface wear from years of no sleeve. Music and vocals are still heard well above the moderate noise on my Newcomb tube record player with 1 mil stylus (may sound differently on other equipment). Still a good looking and sounding record that doesn't turn up often! Great fill copy till you stumble into that elusive E copy! Examine pictures for labels. SHIPS FREE BY MEDIA MAIL. PLEASE EXPRESS ANY CONCERNS BEFORE PURCHASING. I GRADE ACCORDING TO MY SCALE BELOW. EXAMINE PICTURES CAREFULLY AS THEY ARE PART OF DESCRIPTION.
All my 78's are play graded on a vintage Newcomb tube phono with no filters. May sound differently on other equipment. All 78's will be sandwiched between 6 layers of cardboard, bubble wrapped and placed in a new 12 x 12 x 6" box with peanuts and shipped by Media Mail. I will combine. I have sold many, many records over the past few years and have shipped all over the world with no problems. Check my feedback and bid with confidence. INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS WELCOME - PLEASE EMAIL FOR SHIPPING QUOTE. Check out my others!
Thanks and God bless!
My Grading scale:
E (78)
Very shiny, new looking, with no visible signs of wear. I seldom grade any at this level.
E- (78)
Shiny and without wear but may have a light mark or two. Is typically the top of my scale.
VG+ (78)
Finish somewhat dulled. Mild to moderate surface wear but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced.
VG (78)
What I call an average 78. Moderate, even wear and graying throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches more audible but not intrusive.
VG- (78)
Quite playable still, but has heavier greying and surface wear and some heavier scratches. Some distortion. Music still listenable above noise level.
POOR - SELF EXPLANATORY. I would only list one in this condition if it is very, very rare.
