Description
Lucy Ann Polk with Dave Pell Octet. 1954 HiFi Trend TL 1008 ten inch record.
Gray/Green label with black writing and deep groove.
This record plays through with no skips, but with fairly constant crackle and plenty of pops. Although I could still enjoy the music, I couldn't forget that it was a record. There are many visible scratches and scuffs, some deep enough to feel with a fingernail, and some not. There is an owner's name sticker on the label on one side.
See pictures. Cover has some gloss, has an owner's name sticker in the corner, and has some ringwear visible if the light hits it just right. The top and bottom corners on the opening side are a little banged up and have started to separate about one half inch on top and about one inch on bottom. Other than that, edges are intact with some wear on the bottom. The back has a name and address sticker in the corner.

I don't use the standard grading system, not to make it hard, but to make it easy. My method is simple. I look at it and tell you what I see, and I listen to it and tell you what I hear. I usually listen at three out of ten on the volume knob, but always turn it up to about five of ten as well as boosting the treble control on at least a couple of songs per record to really highlight any flaws.
A quick search will turn up many records offered as near mint that obviously aren't near mint after just a casual glance at the supplied picture. I have purchased records sold as near mint that sound way worse than the record I am offering. I wil not do this to you. Look at the picture (always the actual item) and read my text, and you will know what to expect.
Be sure to click the see other items button for more records as I will be liquidating a 5,000 record collection over the next few years. This collector started in the 1930s and continued until cds supplanted records as the medium of choice. The collection is mostly jazz and classical. There are name and address stickers on most of the records and covers that I don't dare try to remove as many have been there for fifty years! Besides putting on stickers, the original collector often left handwritten notes to himself on the back covers, usually dates. Having seen his massive cassette and reel to reel collection, and going by the dates, I suspect that the dates are when he made tape recordings of the albums. I also suspect that the taping is the reason that these records are in such nice condition. This collector was a non smoker, but he got at least some of his records used, I've seen a couple that obviously came from library sales. If I notice a smoky smell, I will note it, but so far they smell like cardboard.
