For your consideration with NO RESERVE, comes this 1947 ICONIC 78 rpm 4 record set titled, "MUSICAL SCORE OF THE WIZARD OF OZ" recorded on the DECCA Record label, #A-558.

 

RECORDS, LABELS & COVER: (Overall appearance of the shellac is shiny, overall grades E-.) The labels are excellent, one has a crease. The cover has great illustrated graphics by Baird, shows minor edge wear, surface wear and marks; grades Very Strong VG+. I also wanted to add the binding is very tight and secure, the spine printing in gold has sharp detail, and the record sleeves are very nice with no splits. Would make a nice centerpiece for your Oz collection.

 WE USE THE STANDARD VJM GRADING SCALE FOR 78 RPM RECORDS:

 

 

Grade Record N As new and un-played (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be un-played). 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 luster of a new record, few light scratches. V+ 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 Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive. V- Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy graying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level. G+ Gray 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.   Winning buyer pays $4.00 USPS Media Mail shipping charges. International winning buyer pays $40.00 Priority Mail International which includes full auction value and tracking number.   We accept INSTANT PAYPAL PAYMENTS ONLY, NO ECHECKS!
