Description
Rare blues record on Paramount Electric 12739. Visually grades between VG- and Poor. Wide gray streaks at outside edges appear to be water damage - plays through with a "whoosh". No skipping, No needle digs, No chips, No warps or cracks. No seriously bad scratches. A couple of mildly deep scratches near the end on B side. Heavy graying in grooves and surface wear from years of no sleeve. Music and vocals are still heard above the heavy noise on my Magnavox tube record player with .7 mil stylus (may sound differently on other equipment). Doesn't turn up often! Great fill copy till you stumble into that elusive E copy! Examine pictures for labels. WILL BE INSURED. PLEASE EXPRESS ANY CONCERNS BEFORE PURCHASING. I GRADE ACCORDING TO MY SCALE BELOW. EXAMINE PICTURES CAREFULLY AS THEY ARE PART OF DESCRIPTION.
All my 45's and 78's are play graded on a vintage Magnavox tube phono with no filters. May sound differently on other equipment. All records shipped in a good sleeve and pressed between multiple layers of cardboard. 45's ship First Class and insured. 78's will be sandwiched between 6 layers of cardboard, bubble wrapped and placed in a new 12 x 12 x 6" box with peanuts and shipped by Media Mail. I will combine. I am just getting cranked back up selling records again after moving to a smaller building. I have sold many, many records over the past few years and have shipped all over the world with no problems. Check my feedback and bid with confidence. INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS WELCOME - PLEASE EMAIL FOR SHIPPING QUOTE.
Thanks and God bless!
My Grading scale:
E (78)
Very shiny, new looking, with no visible signs of wear. I seldom grade any at this level.
E- (78)
Shiny and without wear but may have a light mark or two. Is typically the top of my scale.
VG+ (78)
Finish somewhat dulled. Mild to moderate surface wear but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced.
VG (78)
What I call an average 78. Moderate, even wear and graying throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches more audible but not intrusive.
VG- (78)
Quite playable still, but has heavier greying and surface wear and some heavier scratches. Some distortion. Music still listenable above noise level.
POOR - SELF EXPLANATORY. I would only list one in this condition if it is very, very rare.
