For sound quality, please listen to sound clips (player may not work on mobile devices). For visual quality, please see photos. The following quote on grade G is fairly accurate: "Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise."
Some imperfections such as chips along edge that don't affect playing. See photos.
Does not have the original sleeve; will be in a replacement Kraft paper sleeve.
I've owned 78s for years and respect their fragility. To ship, I will place the record in a replacement Kraft paper sleeve, sandwich it between cardboard layers, and place in a larger box with shock absorbent material.
If you prefer a different shipping method, or want insurance, please contact me immediately after a winning bid to invoice you with updated shipping charges.
The sound clips below include the first and last portions of each side, with 2 seconds of silence between each segment. Around 1 minute sampled from each song. No noise or click suppression used. Player may not work on mobile devices.
Sound clips will be here within a day.
