Description

170. VINTAGE 78 RPM RECORD ~ CASTLE 1256


ARTIST/GROUP:  (Bud) Abbott and (Lou) Costello

 

TITLE(S):  "At The Races (Mudder and Fodder)" / "At The Races (How To Bet On Horses)"

 

DESCRIPTION:  Comic skits (recorded live, with audience laughter)


GRADE:  Excellent to Excellent Plus (E to E+)

 

CONDITION NOTES:  Record labels are crisp and bright with a few very light marks.  Record surfaces are very glossy, are a little dusty, and have a few very light smudges.  These sides play with good fidelity, lots of volume, and barely audible surface noise.  These sides have audience laughter and were likely taken from a live performance or a radio show.


The paper sleeve has small creases, folds, light edge wear, and has darkened due to age.


***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.
