N (new) or M (mint): New and unplayed. NM or N- (near mint): Nearly same as M but played a few times. or showing minimal storage wear.
E+: plays almost like new, with very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
E: excellent (still very shiny, near new looking with no visible signs of groove wear but with a few inaudible scuffs and scratches).
E-: still shiny, but without the luster of a new record. Very little wear, plays distortion-free.
V+ or VG+: An “average” looking 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free of distortion. Surface noise still not pronounced.
V or VG: very good (moderate, even wear throughout but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.)
V- or VG- = quite playable; may have some distortion in louder passages but music remains loud in most places. Surface noise from wear and scratches well below music level.
G+: gray throughout or quite scuffed but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled.
G (good): quite worn/damaged, but surface noise still below music level. Listenable.
G-: Music muffled from wear but still exceeds surface noise.
F+: Music remains audible over surface noise but listening uncomfortable.
F (fair): Surface noise is as loud as the music.
P (poor): unplayable.
[+ and – denote in-between grades. Grades with a slash in between indicate the condition of Side A/Side B.]
Note: Some 78s look mint or near mint and may be graded so, but may play with some surface noise due to poor quality pressing material.

I wanted to write and explain why my listing has two different color record labels. I needed to clarify that when I placed this listing, I did borrow a copy of the black picture label just to place the ad and was going to replace it with my photos, when my Camera was available. I didn't realize that the label was a different color..at the time, but it is the exact same two songs and numbers(2471 and 2472- under the name) that are on both labels.
The record that I have listed is Blind Lemon Jefferson's "Long Lonesome Blues"-2472 and "Got The Blues"-2471. I didn't want anyone to feel that i was being dishonest in any way, so I had to explain what happened. Please forgive me for using the other photo, but I am disabled and only used it as a temporarily means of getting the ad made. I was going to take those pictures off and have mine shown, but after a bid was made...it wouldn't let me alter the ad.
Now, after the other pictures won't come off...there are a lot of people confused and I am sorry about that I can't display my record properly...without the other one being there to confuse, but my record is the one that has the Purple label. I have to admit that it was late night, early morning...when i placed the ad and with me being disabled, made it very hard to get out of bed to get to my Camera or I would have never done that.
Thank u...and please know that I am a very honest person and never meant to deceive anyone. I only wanted to get the ad up and running, but learned a valuable lesson to never do again and that is to never borrow another person's picture...to wait, if I have to. :) On Apr-01-13 at 05:16:07 PDT, seller added the following information:
I WANTED TO LOAD SOME MORE PICTURES UP, FOR EVERYONE TO SEE THE RECORD CLEARLY AND SAY AGAIN THAT THE RECORD U R BIDDING ON IS THE ONE WITH THE PURPLE OR BLUE LABEL. (THE ONE BELOW) I AM SORRY AGAIN, FOR THE CONFUSION.
I LEARNED SOMETHING NEW ABOUT THIS RECORD THAT IS REALLY AWESOME. BLIND LEMON JEFFERSON'S NAME IS MIS-SPELLED ON THE..."GOT THE BLUES" SIDE. HIS NAME IS SPELLED "BLIND LEMON JEFFRESON". IT IS SPELLED CORRECTLY, ON THE "LONG LONESOME BLUES" SIDE. TO ME, THIS IS VERY UNIQUE AND MAKES THIS RECORD EVEN MORE COLLECTIBLE. I HOPE THIS HELPS EVERYONE, IN SEEING THE RECORD CLEARER. I THANK U...AND GOOD LUCK! :)price rating
