Condition: I use VJM grading for all 78s

Records: 
Visually: 515: E- to E, few light marks, still shine like new.                          510: V++, some light marks , luster is still strong. Slight warp that does not effect 
             play.  Small tear at label.
             516: Has a pressure lam/crack.  Not actually broken, but lam that could turn into a 
             crack is visible.  Still held together tightly.  Playing surface: V++ to E-, some light                 marks, but shines bright.  Warp that does not effect play, except at lead in of side B
Sounds: 515: E-, plays just beautifully with very light surface noise below music.
             510: V++, plays very nicely with surface noise present below music.
             516: V+, plays strong with light surface noise present.  Pop through first half of side A.
All three records sound great when the proper EQ is applied and a little noise reduction is used.
Cleaned with the spin clean system.
Cover: VG, some discoloring, wear and light tear to open end corners.  Top cover has a dent/curve at the letter E on top.
All in all this is a nice copy of a very rare early Blue Note album.
NJ Bidders: Revilla Grooves and Gear has the responsibility to charge 7% sales tax to New Jersey auction winners. This sales tax charge will appear on your invoice at the end of auctions.

My Reference and Grading Audio System:

Audio grading is done with a pitch perfect KAB Broadcast Standard Technics 1210 Turntable and a Grado 78C Cartridge designed for Mono 78 record playback. (If you love vintage records and don't have one of these you owe it to yourself to hear what it can do for your 78s)

Check out the KAB Broadcast Standard: http://www.kabusa.com/kab_bst.htm

******Grado 78C specs so you can compare my grading cartridge to your listening cartridge:

The Prestige model 78C uses a three-piece OTL cantilever technology, oxygen free wire in the coils and a specially designed, high polished conical/spherical

3 mil. diamond mounted in a brass bushing.

          Amp is a Vintage Eico HF-81 set for Mono playback.  Speaker: Single Mono Vintage University Coax.  I feel this is a very close to authentic set up.  I grade with Bass and Treble settings at zero for the most reliable read of actual record quality
