FISHER HENDLEY - Nigger, Will You Work ? / Let Your Shack Burn Down
Okeh - 45012
Visual Grade: E- / V+
From a stack of primarily dead store stock I recently came across
*AUDIO NOTES: B-side Let Your Shack Burn Down has beautiful sheen with a few light visible marks; it is a GREAT strong loud clear player with some occasional LIGHT pops; Will You Work has some light 'dots' visible when angled to the light, as well as a blemish on the outer edge (please see pic - just barely touches playing surface and caused a light pop for the first two rotations) and a few light visible marks on the surface. Also a GREAT strong clear loud player with occasional light pops (from the 'dots' on the surface - aging? or imperfections in the shellac at production?)
Again, both sides are GREAT strong loud clear players
No warp, no chips of any kind, no stress marks visible, etc.
**All 78s are sold by an avid shellac hound; records are placed in a gold paper sleeve with board backing, sandwiched between layers of cardboard, placed in an oversized box and surrounded by packing peanuts. Safe and Secure.
***Please email me with ANY questions; I try and be as transparent as possible and undergrade when in doubt. Thanks for looking!
The VJM Record Grading System.
N (78) M (LP). As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
N- (78) M- (LP). Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
E+ (78) VG+ (LP). Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
E (78) VG (LP). Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
E- (78) VG- (LP). Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches. LP: Some wear, scratches and scuffs, but no skipped or repeat grooves.
V+ (78) G+ LP. 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. LP: Below average with scuffs and scratches on fewer than half the tracks. No skips or repeat grooves.
V (78) G (LP). Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
V- (78) G- (LP). 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. LP: Lowest Grade. Audible scratches, etc. on more than half the tracks. Listening uncomfortable.
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.
G- (78). Music still prominent, but wear and scatch damage extensive.
F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
P (78). Unplayable.
