Description
This one doesn't turn up often in 78. Young John Watson (before he became Johnny Guitar Watson) on Federal 12183 "Gettin' Drunk". Precious little surface marks at all but has graying - A side has moderate graying while B side has less. Came from the estate of former juke box operator. Music and vocals are strong on both sides with minimal noise. Great looking and sounding record. Examine pictures for labels. YOU WILL BE HAPPY! SHIPS BY MEDIA MAIL - DO NOT PAY UNTIL I SEND INVOICE! PLEASE EXPRESS ANY CONCERNS BEFORE BIDDING. I GRADE ACCORDING TO MY SCALE BELOW. EXAMINE PICTURES CAREFULLY AS THEY ARE PART OF DESCRIPTION.
All my 78's are play graded on a vintage Newcomb tube phono with 1 mil stylus and no filters. May sound differently on other equipment. All 78's will be sleeved and sandwiched between 6 layers of cardboard, bubble wrapped and placed in a new 12 x 12 x 6" box with peanuts and shipped by Media Mail. I will combine. I have sold many, many records over the past few years and have shipped all over the world with no problems. Check my feedback and bid with confidence. INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS WELCOME - PLEASE EMAIL FOR SHIPPING QUOTE. Check out my others. THANKS AND GOD BLESS!
My Grading scale:
E (78)
Very shiny, new looking, with no visible signs of wear. I seldom grade any at this level.
E- (78)
Shiny and without wear but may have a light mark or two. Shows minor playing. Is typically the top of my scale.
VG+ (78)
Shiny but somewhat dulled. Mild to moderate surface wear but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced.
VG (78)
What I call an average 78. Moderate, even wear and graying throughout, but still very playable. Scuffs and scratches. Surface noise more audible but not intrusive.
VG- (78)
Quite playable still, but has heavier greying and surface wear and some heavier scratches. Some distortion. Music still listenable above noise level.
POOR - SELF EXPLANATORY. I would only list one in this condition if it is very, very rare.
