LUTHER MAGBY - Blessed Are The Poor In Spirit / Jesus Is Getting Us Ready For The Great Day
Columbia 14278
Visual Grade: G+ / G+
Audio Notes: Blessed Are The Poor In Spirit is a STRONG PLAYER (V player); B Side is also a good STRONG PLAYER - these greyed Columbia and Victor pressings can be surprising some times (this is one of those times)
Has a real Cajun blues feel to both sides - though it was recorded in Atlanta 11 Nov 1927
Very slight warp (DNAP), some small nicks around outer rim, some visible deep needle marks and scratches on each side - no stress marks, cracks, etc.
*All 78s are shipped from an avid shellac collector; records are sandwiched between layers of cardboard, placed in an oversized shipping box and surrounded by packing peanuts. Safe and Secure.
**Please message me with any questions you might have, and thanks for looking.
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 scatch damage extensive.
F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
P (78). Unplayable.
