Sur




























four 10" 78rpm box set THE WIZARD OF OZ 1939 Decca Album 74  JUDY GARLAND

This is not the Original Soundtrack to the MGM film, but it is the first version of the Harold Arlen - E.Y. Harburg score to be issued . 

Judy Garland sings "Over The Rainbow" and "The Jitterbug" (which ended up being edited out before the film's release).

 Victor Young and his Orchestra and Ken Darby's Singers are the other featured artists. Harold Arlen provides the voice of the Scarecrow.


Condition: VG play graded (see VJM play gradings of each track below) There are a few edge chips which don't effect the play. They are only on the dead wax of one side of the disc & do not pose a breakage threat (see the pictures) Cover: VG- I did some glue & color repair of the spine which was coming lose at parts The top is pushed in a bit and the edge of the spine along the front was filled with invisible glue & blackened with a marker There are some scuffed off area on the inside of the cover.

VJM 78 GRADNG SCALE

N-:Nearly New, 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 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 : Very Good 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 : 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.
