Description

Billie Holiday  Strange Fruit / Fine and Mellow  1939 Commodore 526 
Strange Fruit plays V- to G+  (I started recording the 1 minute right before she starts singing) You can see there are scratches & hear them in the video Fine & Mellow plays V+ or better 
In the pictures you can see there are chips (particularly at the top) that have come off the very edge but obviously they have no effect at all on the play
In a rounded poly 78 sleeve inside a generic paper 78 sleeve


VJM 78 GRADNG SCALE

N-:Nearly New, 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 sleeves.

E : Excellent. 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 luster of a new record, few light scratches.

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.

V : Very Good 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 : Good Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.

G- ; F ; and P The VJM system has these designations for records in extremely poor condition.
