Description
The Caravans
Feat Bessie Griffin
and Ora Lee Hopkins
Glossy E+ Very Nice Copy of a tough record with Bessie Griffin
Two
LABEL / ARTIST: Perfect 16-102 // The Carter Family / Coon Creek Girls
TITLES: Beautiful Isle O'er The Sea / Pretty Polly
CONDITION: E
DESCRIPTION: First release of an unissued side by The Carter Family recorded October 4, 1940 (C-3367-1) backed with the all girl string band The Coon Creek Girls performing the traditional country song "Pretty Polly" sung by Lily Mae Ledford, who also plays clawhammer banjo. Music clear and crisp.
It looks to be about V+ Condition with haze, needs to be washed and could clean up a little better,
but there is a hairline from edge to label, plays with a light tic well below music. Will be shipped with great care and new owner can wash and seal at edge to preserve integrity.
No record of online sale of this particular record. Note there is a Reserve on this one.

I like the VJM grading system for 78 RPM records:
- N. As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
- N-. Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
- E+. Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
- E . Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
- E-. Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.
- V+. 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
- V. Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
- V-. 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.
- G+. Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
- G. Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
- G-. Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.
- F. Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
- P. Unplayable
