MEMPHIS RECORDING SERVICE ACETATE GLADYS HART White Silver Sands Composer Demo

  c.1956-7 78 RPM ACETATE

See my BIN section with hundreds of 1920's/30's 78's; new ones added each week.
 

Condition: V to V+ Scuffy, with wear; some gloss remains; Plays thru fine. Interesting piece of Memphis Musical history. Gladys Hart was Gladys Reinhardt-Born 1920; deceased 1961-buried in Shelby County. She worked as a secretary and either wrote or co-wrote the 1957 hit song and this is her playing piano and singing on a SUN Memphis Recording Service acetate. There are several newspaper accounts from late 1957 of her suing to obtain 50% of all credit for this song. Her tombstone has the song title on it.

All Records conservatively graded by the VJM Record Grading System(vjm.biz)

VJM GRADING DEFINITIONS

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

E+ (78) VG+ (LP). Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets. E+ is the highest grade I use.

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

E- (78) VG- (LP). Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches. LP: Some wear, scratches and scuffs, but no skipped or repeat grooves.

V+ (78) G+ LP. 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. LP: Below average with scuffs and scratches on fewer than half the tracks. No skips or repeat grooves.

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

V- (78) G- (LP). 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. LP: Lowest Grade. Audible scratches, etc. on more than half the tracks. Listening uncomfortable.

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.

G- (78). Music still prominent, but wear and scatch damage extensive.

F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.

P (78). Unplayable.
