1949 Genre: Latin Style: Afro-Cuban, Mambo, Rumba 
Packing / Shipping:

Shellac records are as delicate as glass.  As such, the 10" record will be mailed with extreme care taken.  The record is first placed in a white generic sleeve; it is then placed between two cardboard stiffeners, cut to size, which are taped on either side. The sandwiched record is then bubble wrapped, and placed in a 12" x 12" x 6" box, surrounded by crumpled newspaper to ensure it arrives in one piece.   

Shipping / Handling:  $8 Media Mail or $14 Priority Mail


VJM Grading System: 

Shellac 78 rpm records are surface / play-graded graded using the VJM system w / 3.0 mil Audio-Technica stylus & cartridge especially made for playing 78's 

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 luster 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 graying 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.
