Description
I've been collecting 78's for 25 years, but now it's time to sell some of them to make room for new acquisitions. I've been buying and selling (well, mostly buying) 78's over the internet for quite some time now, so don't worry: I know how to pack them.
RCA Victor L-16001A 33 rpm shellac Program Transcription disc. In 1931 RCA/Victor tried to introduce the long playing record. This wasn't really a success, since these records could only be played with a special gramophone, and in the middle of the Great Depression few people were willing to buy one. As a result these discs sold poorly, and are relatively uncommon today.
This is a single sided disc of Paul Whiteman's Orchestra playing a medley of songs from George White's "Scandals". It plays just under 9 minutes.
Recorded in November 1931
Record is in V++ condition with a few small needle drops. They tick, but the record plays without skipping.
All records are graded conservatively, using the VJM Record Grading System.
VJM GRADING DEFINITIONS
N: As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
E+: Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets. E+ is the highest grade I use.
E: Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
E-: Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.
V+: 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: Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
V-: 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+: Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
G: Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
G- : Music still prominent, but wear and scatch damage extensive.
F: Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
P: Unplayable.
Records will be packed in oversized sturdy cardboard boxes. Combined shipping is possible. Please DO NOT pay Ebay's automatically generated invoice, since it doesn't always calculate combined shipping correctly. Instead use the "request total from seller" function, and I'll send you an invoice with correct S&H costs. The actual shipping costs may differ from what Ebay's shipping calculator says. The following table will give you an indication of the shipping costs. This is only an estimate, of course, since some records are heavier than others.
