Super Rare Authentic CRACKED 78 RPM from TX Label NOR VA JAK

Sonee West

Sweet Rockin' Baby
Rock-Ola Ruby

Looks about V+ but ..

There are two cracks edge to label, or more accurately, it is a wedge shaped crack.  However, it is still being held together by the label.  I feel this disc could be repaired/glued at edges to help hold in place for posterity.
When done, I imagine it will play with a tic throughout most of the record.  However, I'm not sure whether it would play without skipping early on, or, at least it would take some handy work to do so.

Clean rare Texas labels.  At a minimum, would look great framed while you listen to your cheaper reissues that come along now and then.

THIS RECORD WILL REQUIRE VERY CONSIDERATE HANDLING UPON RECEIPT WHEN UNPACKING AND IN THE FUTURE!

*Ask any questions I’ll do my best to answer as quickly as possible*
Rest assured, I know how to ship in an oversized box, cardboard sandwich, and either crumpled newspaper or peanuts, edges taped tight.

I like the 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
