Description
Here on MGM records MGM 53 from 1950 are Red Skelton, Fred Astaire, Arlene Dahl, Karen Kane Gloria DeHaven with an orchestra directed by Andre Previn from the sound track of the movie "Three Little Words" is a 4-10" 78 rpm record set, the binder is in very good condition with a solid spine and nice clean graphics with bright color, the records visually appear to grade a E- on the VJM scale and should play with no skips or distortion and very little surface noise. A nice set of records, very clean.
Please look at the pictures and feel free to ask any questions, I wipe records with a microfiber cloth I do not chemically clean them. Cleaning is recommended on all 78's as I stated earlier other than wiping with a microfiber cloth I don't clean them I like to leave that to the discretion of the next owner. I pack and ship 78's between cardboard sheets-wrapped in bubble wrap then placed in a large box with packing materials so essentially the record floats, I combine shipping, with each additional 78 record being $1.00, I am always open to offers and thank you for looking. I use the Vintage Jazz Mart (VJM) scale for grading 78's both visually and aurally, and although I am not a professional grader I do know what I like and I try to grade under. If there is any issues with your record(s) please contact me and we will work out the problem. I recycle and with the cost of media mail being reasonable I believe more packing less breaking. I ship Internationally through Ebay Global Shipping strictly.
