ETHEL WATERS West End Blues / Organ Grinder Blues 1928 Columbia 14365-D
Condition: strong V via the VJM scale (play graded) Sleeve: G the bottom is entirely split, there is a rip at the top center & the left edge is clipped. Please Note: This is a very old Columbia sleeve I added ( but it is likely not the style it was released in.) It will be shipped inside an additional audiophile inner sleeve Label Damage from stickers I was not completely successful in removing (see pix)
VJM 78 GRADING SCALE
N:As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can
categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
N-:Nearly New, 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 sleeves.
E : Excellent. 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 luster of a new record, few light scratches.
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 : Very Good 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 : Good Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
G- ; F ; and P The VJM system has these designations for records in extremely poor condition.
