Description
This listing is for Bing Crosby MERRY CHRISTMAS - Decca Album Four 10" 78rpm Record Set. This Bing Crosby "MERRY CHRISTMAS" 4 Record Album Set is complete. I think that the cover (Book) and one record are from 1947 and three of the records are from 1950. The four 78 rpm records range from V to E- on the VJM 78 rpm Record Grading System (See Below). I have listened to all of the records and they play very well with some consistent light background but no skips or jumps. I would grade them from (VG-) to VG on the Goldmine Scale. The records were brushed off with a shoe polish brush before playing but have not been properly cleaned. Thanks for your interest and email if you have any questions.
Goldmine
Very Good (VG) - Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+) - A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white)
VJM for 78 records
E- Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.
V+ Average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate.
V Moderate, even wear throughout
