Description
WE DESCRIBE ITEMS AS WE SEE THEM AND WILL NEVER INTENTIONALLY MISREPRESENT ANYTHING. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. THANK YOU.
HERE ARE THE PARTICULARS:
ALL GRADING IS VISUAL, UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED.
E: excellent (still very shiny, near new looking with no visible signs of [groove] wear but with a few inaudible scuffs and scratches). E-: still shiny, but without the luster of a new record. Very little wear, plays distortion-free. V+: An “average” looking 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free of distortion. Surface noise still not pronounced. V: very good (moderate, even wear throughout but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.) V-: quite playable; some distortion in louder passages but music remains loud in most places. Surface noise from wear and scratches well below music level. G+: gray throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. G (good): quite worn/damaged, but surface noise still below music level. Listenable. G-: Music muffled from wear but still exceeds surface noise. F+: most of record remains audible over surface noise but listening uncomfortable. F (fair): further deterioration but still generally audible. P (poor): unplayable.LABEL: SUN 223
SONGS: MYSTERY TRAIN and I FORGOT TO REMBEMBER TO FORGET
SHELLAC GRADE: V- to V AVERAGE LOOKING 78 BUT HAS A CRACK AT THE 9 O'CLOCK POSITION OF THE "MYSTERY TRAIN" SIDE, AND RUNS FROM THE EDGE TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE LABEL.
WE DON'T HAVE A 78 PLAYER, BUT WE PLAYED IT AT 45 RPM AND SPED IT UP MANUALLY AND THE MYSTERY TRAIN SIDE PLAYED NICELY, WITH LIGHT POPS WHERE THE CRACK IS. IT DID NOT STICK OR SKIP. WE TRIED TO GET A PICTURE OF THE CRACK (LAST PICTURE).
NOTES: WILL FILL THE GAP IN YOUR COLLECTION UNTIL THAT MINT ONE COMES ALONG. SHIPPING OUTSIDE THE U.S.A. WILL BE BY REGISTERED MAIL.
PAYMENT MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 5 DAYS OF CLOSE OF AUCTION. Thanks for looking.
