78rpm ODJB Jass One Step/Livery Stable Victor 18255 1st Pressing Early Jazz V++
Here is a bonafide first pressing of one of the greatest selling records of all time, the landmark 1917 first recording of the Original Dixieland Jass Band. First pressings, like this one, spell the full title "Dixieland Jass Band One Step" and do not include the subtitle "Introducing that Teasin' Rag." Own an important piece of history.

V++ light scratches and even wear throughout, but plays very well. Writing on the label is removable.
This record has been carefully cleaned and is ready to be enjoyed. Will come in a nice quality 78 sleeve and mylar outer sleeve.

I am an experienced 78 dealer, and will pack all records properly in between cardboard in a large box filled with packing materials. Bid with confidence!
I use the VJM Record Grading System:
N (78) M (LP). As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
N- (78) M- (LP). Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
E+ (78) VG+ (LP). Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
E  (78) VG (LP). Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
E- (78) VG- (LP). Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.  LP: Some wear, scratches and scuffs, but no skipped or repeat grooves.
V+ (78) G+ LP. V+ is 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. LP: Below average with scuffs and scratches on fewer than half the tracks. No skips or repeat grooves.
V (78) G (LP). Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
V- (78) G- (LP). 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. LP: Lowest Grade. Audible scratches, etc. on more than half the tracks. Listening uncomfortable.
G+ (78). Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
G (78). Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
G- (78). Music still prominent, but wear and scatch damage extensive.
F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
P (78). Unplayable.
NB: Damage to labels and jackets (LP) should be noted whenever present.
