Description

The GREAT Harry Choates on a record that doesn't come along OFTEN enough or CLEAN enough.  Great double sider, as good as anything out there.  Jole Blon was the big hit, but Basile Waltz is just as if not more incredible.  Usually turns up played to death, and this one's no different.  Shows groove wear.  Note stickers, writing on label, etc.  Plenty of scratches, play wear, etc. but not TOTALLY cooked.

Jole Blon ranges from G at worst to V. More wear.
Basile Waltz (!) ranges more from G+ to V, decent gloss.

Pops, clicks, etc but not overwhelming 'groove wear/juke wear' type noise and not a lot of blasting or distortion.  This is a mighty example of an affordable (relative to its greatness) MUST HAVE record. 


No matter the price or number, records are always packed with extreme care.  SHIPPINGDOMESTIC SHIPPING FOR PRIORITY U.S.A. $20INTERNATIONAL  Priority Mail to anywhere USPS will Track and Insure  $70I like the VJM grading system for 78 RPM records: N.

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+. 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
