RUDOLPH VALENTINO El Relicario/Kashmiri Love Song CELEBRITIES CO HOLLYWOOD CA E+






1920's/30's HOT JAZZ/DANCE 78's

Condition: E+ Appears unplayed.

This is the scarcer version picturing Valentino in turban, not gaucho hat. This is also a high-quality(probably MacGregor) West Coast laminated pressing so the surface is like glass and plays beautifully. Matrices are: L-842/L-843. Hollywood history(His only vocals)Would look great framed!

E+ is the highest grade I use. Happy to answer questions regarding takes. etc. early in the auction. 

Please Do Not Pay until you receive MY invoice - Do not use eBay checkout as it does not combine multiple item purchases to correctly discount your shipping. Let me know if you prefer priority mail. Domestic orders over $25 will have insurance added.

Overseas shipping by signature-required priority unless you have current dealer/collector references.

I will not compromise shipping safety to save a few pennies.

Over 35 Years accurately grading & properly packing records.    

All Records conservatively graded by the VJM Record Grading System(vjm.biz):    

N (78) M (LP). As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).

E+ (78) VG+ (LP). Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets. 

E (78) VG (LP). Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.

E- (78) VG- (LP). Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.  LP: Some wear, scratches and scuffs, but no skipped or repeat grooves.

V+ (78) G+ LP. V+ is 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. LP: Below average with scuffs and scratches on fewer than half the tracks. No skips or repeat grooves.

V (78) G (LP). Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive. 

V- (78) G- (LP). 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. LP: Lowest Grade. Audible scratches, etc. on more than half the tracks. Listening uncomfortable. 

G+ (78). Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.

G (78). Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.

G- (78). Music still prominent, but wear and scatch damage extensive.

F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.

P (78). Unplayable.

A slash: E/E- means Side 1 is E; Side 2 is E-

Records expertly packed in sturdy new oversize boxes with lots of cardboard & peanuts to insure safe arrival.
