Description
This is MERCURY 11082, with Charlie Parker, Thelonius Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, Buddy Rich, and Curly Russell playing jazz classics An Oscar for Treadwell and Mohawk.
VJM 78rpm grading system: E+
This record is in almost near mint condition, with the exception of what looks like a needle drop in the 12'o clock position on An Oscar for Treadwell that barely reaches into the first two ridges of music. It cannot be felt with your fingers. The luster is stock copy new. There are no pressure marks, or other scratches. This is a beautiful copy.
Shipped in sturdy 78 "sandwich" pack in foam packed box.

(chart below)
N As new and unplayed
N- Nearly Mint, 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 jackets.
E 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 lustre of a new record, few light scratches.
V+ 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 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 Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
G- Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.
F Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
P Unplayable
