Description

Up for your consideration is an Odeon 10.5" 78rpm record, number 54735 / 54739.  I am confused as to where the origin of this music is.  On the B side the text is difficult to read so I am taking a bit of a guess on the spelling. 
Songs are:
Side A:    Smyrne Adam aman Estudiantina Smyrniote Side B:    see label scan; Menemen Zuibek - Aman aman Menemen  Estudiantina Smyrniote
See my record grading below.  I grade conservatively and it takes a real nice record to have either E grade next to it (I've never used E+!).

Condition:  VG    There is about a 3/4 inch tight hairline crack that does not affect play.  There is a small drop of super glue on the rim to keep it from spreading.
Please see my other auctions for more records.  I will be selling quite a few ethnic78s coming up so show check back often.  There will be mainly Greek and Turkish but also Syrian, Arabic and others ranging from the 20s to the 50s, on a variety of labels.  Combine on shipping for multiple wins.  If you want me to hold waiting on others just let me know.

I'm a 78rpm record collector so know how to pack 78s properly for shipping.  I can send up to 4 10" records media mail for $4 in the USA, 7 for $5, 11 for $6.  If interested in more or international please inquire.  Thanks for looking.
Condition for 78rpm records:

E+ = New stock, never been opened or played

E = Bright and shiny, no scuffs or scratches.  Looks new but has been played

E- = Still bright and shiny, shows some signs of handling but nothing that would create extra noise during playback.

VG++ = Showing a little more sign of wear, maybe a few light scuffs or minor scratches but nothing that would create extra noise during playback.

VG+ = Shows signs of wear with some scuffs and minor scratches.  Nothing that would create noticeable loud ticks during playback but will play with some background noise.

VG = This is a well played record with minor scuffs, scratches and maybe even some graying in areas.  However, the record still plays well and can be enjoyed.

VG - = Begins to have scratches that make the record quite noisy on playback and have noticeable ticks from scratches.

G = This is a record that, for some, can still be enjoyed until a better copy comes along.  Lots of scratches, may even make the record skip.  Possible hair line fracture. Likely this grade of record will only be listed if it’s a rarer record where the content or label is highly collectable.

P = This record is either broken or otherwise unplayable.  Again, this would only be listed if it were very rare and interesting for historical information.
