Description
Rare the 6th release by the Sun Record Company (the first to sale more then a couple hundred copies), the songs are Bear Cat and Walking in the Rain by Rufus Thomas Jr. I well played record with scuffs and scratches, but none that you can feel. I graded at least an VG VG+ I played this and it played loud with no skips and the music covered up the scuffs. Use the high def pictures as part of the description. Good Luck! Standard 78 Grading:
N- NEW MINUS - Highest grade used. Appears unplayed. Full luster. Slight signs of handling
E+ EXCELLENT PLUS - Full luster remains. Very few careful plays. Slightest indications of use or handling.
E EXCELLENT - Almost full luster. Mild signs of play, but no serious wear, scratches or scuffs.
E- EXCELLENT MINUS - Some luster remains, but record has some apparent wear, scuffs and / or scratches. Still a pretty nice 78, acceptable to most collectors.
V+ VERY GOOD PLUS - Record has considerable wear, scuff and / or scratches. Still plays pretty well but is clearly a used record. An AVERAGE USED 78 is in the V to V+ range.
V VERY GOOD - Mostly or fully gray from use. Obvious surface noise but probably still plays pretty well. Scuffing and / or scratches more prominent.
V- VERY GOOD MINUS - Further deterioration. Fully gray with deeper wear and heavy surface noise.
G GOOD - Very rough, deeply gray, surface noise about equal to music.
F FAIR - Really beat 78 that may skip. Surface noise exceeds music.
