299. VINTAGE 78 RPM RECORD ~ BRUNSWICK 7911 (1937), WEST COAST LAMINATED PRESSING, GOOD SOUND

ARTIST/GROUP:  Teddy Wilson and his Orchestra with Billie Holiday, vocals

TITLE(S):  "Easy Living" / "Foolin' Myself"

DESCRIPTION:  Vocals with small jazz band

GRADE:  Very Good (V)

CONDITION NOTES:  Record labels are crisp and bright with a few very light scuffs, scratches, light spindle wear, old tape residue on top of "Easy", and a small tear right middle on "Foolin' ".  Record surfaces are fairly glossy but have visible scuffs, scratches, some wear, and a small 1/2" edge lam on "Easy" (not through to other side, does not sound).  This item plays with nice fidelity (is not "ashy", is a laminated West Coast pressing), good volume, light fuzziness at ends of both sides, and some surface noise and pops.

***No worries about packing…I pack for shipment like the pros - record secured between cardboard squares in large box with plenty of padding.

GRADING IS CONSERVATIVE USING THE VJM RECORD GRADING SYSTEM:

N (78). As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).

N- (78). Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.

E+ (78). Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.

E  (78). Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.

E- (78). Still shiny but without the luster of a new record, a few light scratches and scuffs.

V+ (78).  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 (78). Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.

V- (78). Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy graying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level.

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.
