Recorded in New York on December 15, 1925. Roger Wolfe Kahn's Orchestra plays Donald Lindley's moderistic "Rhythm of the Day" on this one-sided polystyrene test of Victor matrix BVE 34147-3. Unissued on 78 and LP, possibly because of a little audible distress in the trumpet section. Joe Venuti takes a fine solo, and Arthur Schutt plays an outstanding one. This record is in E+ condition and sounds great. It is pressed slightly off center, but not enough to detract from enjoyment of the music (even better if you can manually center, of course).
78 GRADING: We use the universally recognized VJM (Vintage Jazz Mart) 78 rpm system in grading our 78s with some streamlining as noted, eliminating some of the hair splitting on records graded V- and below (G+, G, G-, F).
E+
Highest grade used. A record that might have minor handling marks but has no visible signs of wear. N, N- and E+ records will all be graded as E+.
E
Record has slight signs of handling and use but groove wear should be barely detectable and grooves should still be glossy and black.
E-
Light groove wear with grey rubbing and light circular gray grooves starting to appear, but record should still retain glossy black grooves for almost all of the surface.
V+
Grey wear, handling and groove wear more apparent, but much of the groove area will still have black.
V
Record is approaching an overall grey surface with uniform wear, but will still play well even though the level of surface noise and distortion could be distracting.
V-
Record has wear throughout, and was subject to continual playing to wring more sound out of it, so even the grey is in a more advanced state of deterioration with groove walls disappearing.
P
This grade generally indicates poor condition on a good title.
