****************************************CONDITION OF ITEM FOR SALE****************************************
DISC: all of these African acetate records range from VG to VG+ on the goldmine standard of grading. these discs were made by the Lusaka radio station in Zambia, many were recorded in the field or at the radio station studio between 1949 and 1966. the quality of the sound varies a lot as these are not commercial recordings. some play beautiful while others do not. Some, for example are very clean condition wise but play with surface noise others are in lesser condition but play wonderful. I provide sound clips so you can understand the music and the sound quality of the disc.

******************GRADING CHART***************
M- Store Stock New
As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
N-
Nearly New, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
E+
Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of sleeves.
E Excellent
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 luster of a new record, few light scratches.
V+ is 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 Very Good
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.
G+
Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
G Good
Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is stillhigher than surface noise.
