Record is graded
visually AND played using the VJM grading system (see below).
(Hartford Quartet- If We Never Meet Again / Glory Hallelujah, I've Found the Way) The Hartford Quartet's most famous member over its years' of existence was Alfred E. Brumley. The Hartford School of Music located in Hartford AR was a center for early gospel music.
This record is graded-
Played V+ on the "Glory..' side with light surface noise, some ticks off and on. Music is very strong, very loud, and good! V to V+ on the "If We.." side with same as above but has louder surface noise at the beginning then quiets out and has 4 rotating ticks about half way through. Again, music is very loud, strong, and good.
Visual V to V+ on the "Glory.." side with lots of scuffing, some play wear, and some scratches. Still has good shine. V on the "If We.." side with lots of scuffing, more scratches, and some play wear. Still has good shine.

VJM Grading for 78rpm records-
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+ is an average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderated but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced.
V Moderate wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
V- Quit 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.
