Description
ARTIST: Frank Trumbauer and His Orchestra
LABEL: Okeh master press mx 81490-B, polystyrene
TITLES: Baltimore
CONDITION: E+, has some light 'rippling' type pressing marks that looked scary and foreboding but didn't sound on my system
DESCRIPTION: You might think it's hard to beat an E+ Okeh pressing--I was skeptical, too, but this substantially beat my transfer of my E+ Okeh. Jazz classic recorded with the great 1927 Club New Yorker lineup with Adrian Rollini on bass sax.
78 GRADING: We use the universally recognized VJM (Vintage Jazz Mart) 78 rpm system in grading our 78s with some streamlining as noted, eliminating some of the hair splitting on records graded V- and below (G+, G, G-, F).
E+
Highest grade used. A record that might have minor handling marks but has no visible signs of wear. N, N- and E+ records will all be graded as E+.
E
Record has slight signs of handling and use but groove wear should be barely detectable and grooves should still be glossy and black.
E-
Light groove wear with grey rubbing and light circular gray grooves starting to appear, but record should still retain glossy black grooves for almost all of the surface.
V+
Grey wear, handling and groove wear more apparent, but much of the groove area will still have black.
V
Record is approaching an overall grey surface with uniform wear, but will still play well even though the level of surface noise and distortion could be distracting.
V-
Record has wear throughout, and was subject to continual playing to wring more sound out of it, so even the grey is in a more advanced state of deterioration with groove walls disappearing.
P
This grade generally indicates poor condition on a good title.
