Description
Rare doowop 78 record on Timely 1001. The Ambassadors. Visually grades shiny VG+ to E- on "Darling" with only a couple of light storage scuffs. Willa-Bea grades between VG and VG+ because minor marks but mostly for groove damage at the very last note on the song - final 3 or 4 grooves have an area of damage causing distortion. Damage only extends less than half way around. It is literally on the last "ooommmm". Dead wax area has a light stain. Record overall has no heavy play wear and surface marks are mild. No skipping, No needle digs, No chips, No warps or cracks. Had no sleeve when discovered. Great labels. Graded on a vintage Magnavox tube record player with .7 mil stylus (may sound differently on other equipment). Super rare find! Examine pictures for labels. FREE SHIPPING AND INSURANCE IN THE 48 STATES. PLEASE EXPRESS ANY CONCERNS BEFORE PURCHASING. I GRADE ACCORDING TO MY SCALE BELOW. EXAMINE PICTURES CAREFULLY AS THEY ARE PART OF DESCRIPTION. International orders shipped First Class Int. depending on price - may have to ship Priority if over 400.00.
All my 78's are play graded on a vintage Magnavox tube phono with no filters. May sound differently on other equipment. All records shipped in a good sleeve and pressed between multiple layers of cardboard. 45's ship First Class and insured. 78's will be sandwiched between 6 layers of cardboard, bubble wrapped and placed in a new 12 x 12 x 6" box with peanuts and shipped by Media Mail. I will combine. I am just getting cranked back up selling records again after moving to a smaller building. I have sold many, many records over the past few years and have shipped all over the world with no problems. Check my feedback and bid with confidence. INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS WELCOME - PLEASE EMAIL FOR SHIPPING QUOTE.
Thanks and God bless!
My Grading scale:
E (78)
Very shiny, new looking, with no visible signs of wear. I seldom grade any at this level.
E- (78)
Shiny and without wear but may have a light mark or two. Is typically the top of my scale.
VG+ (78)
Finish somewhat dulled. Mild to moderate surface wear but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced.
VG (78)
What I call an average 78. Moderate, even wear and graying throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches more audible but not intrusive.
VG- (78)
Quite playable still, but has heavier greying and surface wear and some heavier scratches. Some distortion. Music still listenable above noise level.
POOR - SELF EXPLANATORY. I would only list one in this condition if it is very, very rare.
