Description
This is the harder to find 78rpm box set of Irving Berlin's White Christmas in Grade V+ condition, with all of the songs from the 1954 movie, featuring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, and Peggy Lee instead of Rosemary Clooney.
There are 10 songs on 5 records and they come with their original sleeves in their hinged storage box and have been cleaned and play tested.
The sleeves are in good condition with no tears but do show expected corner and edge wear from average use and being stored in the box.
There are no skips on the records and the surface noise is light.
Visually the records are still shiny and show light to average wear with some random scratches/marks that do not affect play.
All of the labels are clean showing minimal wear.
The storage box is in good condition showing average wear and handling.
Condition: Grade V+
This has been graded using the VJM grading system as posted at the bottom of this page.

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 scratch damage extensive.
F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
P (78). Unplayable.
