Description
The Mocking Bird, spoken by Mr Dan Leno on a 10" single sided record, "Gramophone Concert Record" no. G.C. - 1204.
The record grades around E - to V+, generally a clean copy with a few tiny scratches and slight greying noticeable on some grooves. There is a miniscule 1cm lamination crack, not open and perfectly safe, totally inaudible, but mentioned for sake of accuracy.
The record will be boxed and well packed to survive in transit. I have been sending 78s for many years and never had a breakage.
Condition code for 78s
New - guaranteed known to be unplayed, I virtually never use this grade since I play most of the records offered for sale! E+ (excellent plus) A superb copy with full gloss, unmarked surface, very little sign of any previous use or handling. E (excellent) Very close to E+, record retains full gloss but may have a few very light inaudible surface marks or scuffs caused by slight handling. E - (excellent minus) Still in excellent playing condition, record may also show first signs of visible wear and/or have a little more scuffing with possibly a few very light surface scratches V+ (very good plus) Record shows more signs of use with general scuffing and moderate scratches. V (very good) More wear visible and beginning to sound more on playback, V and V+ are typical grades that might apply to most used 78s in 2010. V- (very good minus) Wear fairly heavy but still plays with noticeable distortion in places.
