Description
Artist: Female Soprano
Grade: VG to VG+, rougher start
Description: These are tough to grade. There is obvious wear on the grooves, but record retains decent gloss. The start is a bit rougher than VG for the first 5-10 grooves, but still plays fine, just with a bit more background noise. The overall volume of the music on the record is quite low which seemingly adds to the noise. The record was found with the sleeve pictured. I have no way to know if this sleeve is original or not. It's a little different than normal as the front and back of the sleeve are only connected at the bottom and not on the sides. It does not look like the sides are split, but more like the sleeve was meant to fold over the record (like a book).
Again, because these are pretty hard to grade, there is a clip of the record here - http://www.venerablemusic.com/CM_7104Sam.mp3
The clip is from the final 30-40 seconds where the volume of the record is the strongest and includes the dramatic ending!
Please let me know if you have any questions.
