Description
I am thinning out my 78 collection. Here is an interesting one from the high shelf...
Al Bowlly with Victor Young and his Orchestra, on US Decca 278. These tracks were recorded in New York in November 1934, and were never issued in the UK.
A: Say When (V+ grade)
B: When Love Comes Swinging Along (E- grade)
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.
