Description
Berliner Concert Grand 5330
Side A: Cavalleria Rusticana- Siciliana Performed by Enrico Caruso Recorded on 30 November 1902. This is a great Caruso collectible; the brown shellac, metal spindle hole, and the Berliner name are not commonly associated with Caruso records. The recording itself is an early G&T rarity.
GRADE: G+ to V- Scratches, pits, rough start, surface noise.
I use the VJM grading system, which is listed below. Unless otherwise mentioned, all records are play-graded. International bidders please contact me before bidding to inquire about shipping and note that you are responsible for any additional import fees your country may charge. Please contact me with any questions about the item or shipping. Discounted shipping is offered for multiple purchases!
N: New and unplayed with no signs of damage. It is extraordinarily rare to find a record in this condition.
N-: Near mint. Has been played, but has no signs of wear or damage.
E+: Plays like new, with few signs of handling.
E: Very shiny, appears like new. Surface contains a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
E-: Still shiny but without the luster of a new record. May have a few light scratches.
V+: Scuffs and scratches have dulled the original 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, but with distortion and heavy graying in loud passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level.
G+: Grey throughout but still serviceable. Contains heavy scratches.
G: Seriously worn and scratched, but music level still higher than surface noise.
G-: Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage is extensive.
(I will not be listing anything below G- condition unless the record itself is of such value that a fill-in or starter copy might be desired.)
