Description
A slightly obscure Al Bowlly record...
Al sings with The Waldorfians and Jack Leon and his Band. Both tracks were recorded in 1931.
Please read the gradings carefully - not the best copy!
Piccadilly 787
A: Time On My Hands (Waldorfians) (Looks V, plays nearer to V+ except through surface mark at beginning.)
B: Goodnight Sweetheart (Jack Leon Band) (V- due to audible scratches. Someone has skated a steel needle or two... A shame, as otherwise sounds OK.)
This record is graded using the VJM grading system, and was play tested using a Goldring L55 with a Stanton 500 cartridge and a 3.5ml TC stylus.
I have been collecting 78s for nearly 20 years, and will pack very carefully! I am happy to combine shipments on multiple wins to save on postage costs. Please request an invoice and wait for my response. At the moment I will ship to the UK only while I get used to eBay's ways.
If you have any questions, please ask!
VJM grading guide for 78s
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.
