Description
Of all the records I audition daily, I admit openly here and now that I have listened to SIAM SOO about 20 times (with a modern turntable and lightweight sapphire). Playing it now while listing this! This is >THE< record if you have a Siam Soo dancing phonograph doll. Record has light surface marks, and plays like a pip! I grade "V+" by VJM standards.
-PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE, I WILL GLADLY ASSIST-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I audition all records COMPLETELY (and several times!) on a modern turntable with a lightweight sapphire stylus. RECORDS WILL BE PACKED PROPERLY WITH NEW PACKING MATERIALS between several sheets of cardboard, surrounded by packing peanuts, in a sturdy box.
I will gladly combine purchases to save you money on shipping. Keep bidding, and send me a message when you are done and ready for the combined invoice.
I take excellent care in packing, to assure a safe delivery. Read my feedback!

THE VJM RECORD GRADING SYSTEM
N (78) As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
N- (78) Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
E+ (78) Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
E (78) Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
E- (78) Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.
V+ (78) 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. No skips or repeat grooves.
V (78) Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
V- (78) 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+ (78). Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
G (78). Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
G- (78). Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.
F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
P (78). Unplayable.
