Sur



























 78 rpm 12"  1945 V Disc 263 MEGA-RARE GREEN LABEL pressed for The Marines ". This pressing is identical to the other V Disc 263 release, but this was issued with the mega-rare green Marine Corps label. This label was used only for a short time and was discontinued almost immediately when the V Disc folks decided to combine the different armed services on to a single label. The Richard A. Sears V-Disc discography says that "the number of Marine Corps V-Discs produced was minimal" & as of this listing I don't see any other for sale on line. Another Green label V Disc (in E condition this one is in V) sold on eBay last March for $400.

scuffs from being slipped in and out of sleeves.

E : Excellent. 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 luster of a new record, few light scratches.

V+ :is 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- :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 : Good Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.

G- ; F ; and P The VJM system has these designations for records in extremely poor condition.
