Seller Notes: A rare 1958 original Canadian pressing. The record is scuffed/scratched but plays well. However audiophiles should look elsewhere. This item is for those who collect artefacts. 78 rpm records were waning in popularity by 1958 and not many were being pressed relative to 45 rpm singles, hence the rarity of the 78 rpm records from 1958 & 1959 after which time they were largely discontinued in North America
Buyer pays $13 shipping to the US or $25 overseas except for Asia and SA which would be $30 ).
Grading:
· M: mint record, should be unplayed
· M-: looks M but might have been played once or twice.
· 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 with a bit more visible signs of wear or superficial hairline scratches.
· VG+: 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.
· VG: Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
