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: EDISION 9862 (STAMPER ON BLANK LABEL IS 51477-L) SONGS: MAD MAMA'S BLUES (NOT SURE WHAT'S ON THE BLANK LABEL SIDE AS WE HAVE NOTHING TO PLAY THESE OLD EDISION 78s ON) SHELLAC GRADE: V- NOTHING DEEP OR SERIOUS, THE BLANK LABEL SIDE IS HAS SOME GRAYING AND ONE TEENIE TINY EDGE CHIP, NOTHING SERIOUS. AN AVERAGE CONDITION 78. NOTES: THROUGH A LITTLE RESEARCH THIS APPEARS TO BE THE FIRST ONE OF THESE BY JOSIE MILES UP FOR AUCTION IN OVER 5 YEARS. RARE FIND INDEED! SORRY, BUT WE HAVE NOTHING TO PLAY GRADE THESE 78s. PAYMENT MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 2 DAYS OF CLOSE OF AUCTION. Thanks for looking.price rating
