DUE TO THE QUANTITY OF RECORDS LIKE THIS ONE I AM LISTING I WONT BE WRITING DESCRIPTIONS.  INSTEAD I AM OFFERING A SOUND CLIP THAT GIVES A SHORT SAMPLE FROM EACH SIDE OF THE DISC.  PLEASE WRITE WITH ANY QUESTIONS.   
****************************************CONDITION OF ITEM FOR SALE****************************************   I GRADE ACETATES WITH THE LP VINYL GRADING SYSTEM AS THEY ARE NOT EXACTLY THE SAME AS NORMAL SHELLACK 78 RPMS. 
THESE ACETATES ARE GENERALLY ALL IN THE VG TO VG+ RANGE, THEY GENERALLY HAVE SCUFFS AND OR LIGHT MARKS AND AS SOUND RECORDINGS TESTIFY THEY PLAY WITH SOME SURFACE NOISE AND CRACKLES.  I DID NOT CLEAN EACH DISC BEFORE MAKING AUDIO SAMPLES WHICH SEEMS TO HELP, AS ON A FEW I DID A CLEANING AND GOT A MUCH BETTER PLAYBACK.  THE SAMPLES OFFERED HERE ARE MADE WITH A 78 RPM NEEDLE BUT I HAVE TESTED CERTAIN DISCS WITH DIFFERENT NEEDLE WIDTHS AND GOT DIFFERENT DEGREES OF PLAY BACK QUALITY.  OF COURSE THESE SAMPLES OFFERED ARE JUST RAW AUDIO RECORDING SAMPLES TO LET YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF THE MATERIAL AND GENERAL SOUND OF THE DISC.  CLEANING, ADJUSTING NEEDLE, ETC. MAY OFFER BETTER RESULTS IN THE PLAYBACK QUALITY.  
DISC: VG TO VG+
CENTER LABELS: REFER TO IMAGES
