Description
A nice outing from Nelson, issued in 1959. Record has been played over the years, but has been well looked after.
Beginning December 8, 2022, I will be using the VJM system of grading. I consider it to be be more informative than eBay’s rather generic system.
We Use The VJM Record Grading System
NB 45’s use the LP system as below.
N (78) M (LP). As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
N- (78) M- (LP). Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
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 (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 scratch damage extensive.
F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
P (78). Unplayable.
NB: Damage to labels and jackets (LP) should be noted whenever present.
Abbreviations: sfc = surface; lbl = label; nap = not affecting play; scr/scrs = scratch/scratches; lc = lamination crack; cr = crack; hlc/hc = hairline crack; wol = writing on label; sol = sticker on label; fade = faded label; gr/grs = groove/grooves; eb = edge bite; ec = edge chip; ef = edge flake; rc = rim chip.
I have a lot of Rock and Roll, R & B, Jazz and Country LPs for sale, many at low prices. I do combine shipping so take a look! 50 cents extra for each additional LP. I ship USPS Media Mail, but do charge an additional $1.25 for packaging for LPs and 45s. Because of the fragility of 78s, the packaging charge is increased to $2.50, and then an extra 50 cents per record. We’ve all been spoiled with free delivery from various retailers over the past few year, and I wish I could offer free shipping! But I can’t. Even Media Mail is becoming expensive. The mailers and bubble wrap I use come out at close to a buck for each shipment, and then there is the schlepping to the Post Office. I ain’t getting rich!
I do pack carefully, but cannot be responsible for damage incurred during shipping. It is the buyers' responsibility to ask for insurance. If it is a valuable record, I suggest you ask for insurance. It should be noted that one cannot insure items sent via Media Mail, therefore when wanting insurance, expect a higher postage rate. Issues such as this can be discussed between buyer and seller before paying the invoice. Don’t hesitate to contact me!
