WE DESCRIBE ITEMS AS WE SEE THEM AND WILL NEVER INTENTIONALLY MISREPRESENT ANYTHING. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. THANK YOU.
HERE ARE THE PARTICULARS:
ALL GRADING IS VISUAL, UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED.
E: excellent (still very shiny, near new looking with no visible signs of [groove] wear but with a few inaudible scuffs and scratches). E-: still shiny, but without the luster of a new record. Very little wear, plays distortion-free. V+: An “average” looking 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free of distortion. Surface noise still not pronounced. V: very good (moderate, even wear throughout but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.) V-: quite playable; some distortion in louder passages but music remains loud in most places. Surface noise from wear and scratches well below music level. G+: gray throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. G (good): quite worn/damaged, but surface noise still below music level. Listenable. G-: Music muffled from wear but still exceeds surface noise. F+: most of record remains audible over surface noise but listening uncomfortable. F (fair): further deterioration but still generally audible. P (poor): unplayable.LABEL: PARAMOUNT 1759 (INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND IN BROWN WAX / SHELLAC!)
SONGS: SIDE 1: MA RAINEY'S MYSTERY RECORD (100 PRIZES FOR WINNING NAME); SIDE 2: HONEY WHERE YOU BEEN SO LONG (BOTH SIDES BY: MA RAINEY AND LOVIE AUSTIN'S BLUES SERENADERS
SHELLAC GRADE: V- SINCE WE HAVE NOTHING TO PLAY THESE ON THIS IS A STRICTLY A VISUAL GRADE. HAS A LOT OF THOSE SMALL FEELABLE SCRATCHES, BUT NO CHIPS, CRACKS, WRITING, WARPS OR GOUGES FROM THE NEEDLE BEING DROPPED.
NOTES: GREAT ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION.
