990. VINTAGE 78 RPM RECORD ~ BLUEBIRD 7759, IN ORIGINAL PAPER SLEEVE
ARTIST/GROUP: Artie Shaw and his Orchestra (vocals, "Billy" Holiday)
TITLE(S): "Any Old Time" / "Back Bay Shuffle"
DESCRIPTION: Dance Band with vocals (side A)
GRADE: Excellent to Excellent Minus (E to E-)
CONDITION NOTES: Record labels are crisp and bright with light scuffs, small light spots, and very light fading at top of "Time". Record surfaces are very glossy with a few very light scratches and scuffs (a few more visible scuffs on and light groove wear at end of "Time"). This item plays with fantastic fidelity, lots of volume, and barely audible surface noise.
The original paper sleeve has small creases, folds, yellowing due to age, a few small edge tears, and a very small split on bottom seam.
***No worries about packing…I pack for shipment like the pros - record secured between cardboard squares in large box with plenty of padding.

GRADING IS CONSERVATIVE USING 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 luster of a new record, a few light scratches and scuffs.
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.
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 graying 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.
