Description
Artist & Titles: Orquesta de Rafael Hernandez – La Borracha / La Pocha. . La Borracha comes from the film “El Crimen de Expreso”. While Hernandez most likely hails from Puerto Rico, this disc was cut during his time during the late 30's in Mexico. This one is rare enough that it has not yet been listed on the 78 Discographical Project.
Label: Bluebird 3317 (staff)
Year: 1938
Grading: E-
I grade using VJM standards for 78's.
- N. As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
- 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 lustre of a new record, few light scratches.
- V+. 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 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. 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.
Over the next few weeks, I'll be listing a collection of prewar and postwar ethnic 78 rpm records I've assembled over the last few years. Listings aimed to include rarer and cleaner titles. This week's discs are primarily Mexican, Cuban, Brazilian, and you may find the occasional Spanish, Greek, or Arabic title. Check out my other listings if you're interested!
