E

I am not a professional grader, but I do my best to adhere to the following:


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.
