Lausche Trio CONTINENTAL 423 LJUBCA POLKA /CUKER POLKA 78 NOS Slovenian UDOVICH

$

188

Note b-side is by Frankie Yankovic's band. This record is from a huge collection of remarkably preserved Cleveland Slovenian and other Polka records that I have personally handpicked! I have several hundred different Polka records up for bid right now; win many listings to combine and save on postage -- USA postage is FREE.  International winners add just $4 per each additional item won.

Each item is photographed to highlight the labels; most records also have an original company sleeve as shown in the photos. I provide new paper sleeves and/or poly baggies to protect the original paper sleeves in shipment. Most original sleeves are EXQUISITE, but this is not always true for every single record. I do not grade paper sleeves for 78s, condition of sleeves is fairly evident in the photos. What you see in the photos is what you get. Thank you!

"The VJM Record Grading System... was devised by the publishers of Record Changer magazine in the 1940s, and the system now known as the VJM Grading System is a refined version of the former, introduced in the early 1950s."

NOS (NEW-OLD-STOCK)

Original store stock and presumed MINT UNPLAYED, very rare and desirable! No visible signs of wear or damage.

N
(NEW)

As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).

N-
(NEW-MINUS)

Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.

E+
(EXCELLENT-PLUS)

Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.

E
(EXCELLENT)

Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.

E-
(EXCELLENT-MINUS)

Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.

V+
(VERY GOOD-PLUS)

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.

V
(VERY GOOD)

Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.

V-
(VERY GOOD-MINUS)

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.

G+
(GOOD-PLUS)

Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.

G
(GOOD)

Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.

G-
(GOOD-MINUS)

Music still prominent, but wear and scatch damage extensive.

F
(FAIR)

Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.

P
(POOR)

Unplayable.
