Description
Frank Sinatra Personal Acetate Record 78 rpm from Ava Gardner Estate/Heir
I am proud to offer this unreleased recording by Sinatra and formerly owned by Ava Gardner. Only three known copies of this record exist; one in the Ava Gardner Museum, one sold 1.5 years ago to a collector and this is the last and personal copy owned by Ava Gardner's heir.
"You're My Thrill" was Frank's song for Ava and was never released by Frank to date. This is likely a live stage/radio recording.
Come with LOA from current Ava Gardner heir owner.
Own a piece of Hollywood and music history.
Audio Grading: E/E
Grading can be subjective, but I try my best to grade records responsibly!
VJM Record Grading System:
NM (78) As new and appears 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 lustre of a new record, few light scratches.
V+ (78) 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 (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 greying 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.
G- (78). Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.
F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.(Reference Copy)
