Soliman Abou Daoud
Very old 78 rpm "Talking Machine" record

I believe this record is from before the 1920's, although I do not have a lot of information about it.  Possibly might even be from before World War I.  "Cairo" is printed on the label, so I assume this record is by Egyptian musicians.  Note that this record is actually 10-1/2 inches in diameter, so I can not provide a new 10" sleeve like I normally would when I sell 78's.

Made in Germany
Odeon # X-31126

Visually vinyl is VG condition.  Shiny with good grooves and a few light scratches and scuffs in some places. Has a very slight warp that did not affect play on my turntable.  NO chips or cracks.

Both sides played well for me with nice sound and some light surface noise. 

Click the 2 links below to listen to the full A and B sides that I posted on SoundCloud.  This is how the record sounds on my USB turntable.

Labels are EXCELLENT as seen in the photos. NO spindle marks on the labels.

Grading Scale:

Mint (M) - A perfect 10.  No visible or audible defects.
Near Mint (NM) - 9 to 10.  Excellent; very little if any wear.
Very Good++ (VG++) - 8 to 9. Has very minor wear. Will still look and sound excellent.
Very Good+ (VG+) - 7 to 8.  Has minor wear.  Still looks nice - still sounds nice - might have light surface noise in some places.
Very Good (VG) - 6 to 7.  Has moderate wear.  Scuffs/scratches are more noticeable.  Music still sounds fine, but you might also hear background surface noise in places.
Very Good- (VG-) - 5 to 6.  Moderate to heavier wear.  Surface noise throughout, but should not drown out music.  Probably not for serious audiophiles.  More casual listeners might still enjoy, despite the flaws.
Good (G) - 4 to 5.  Heavy wear.  The vinyl and/or cover will have many scuffs, scratches and/or other defects.  Audiophiles should definitely avoid.
