WE DESCRIBE ITEMS AS WE SEE THEM AND WILL NEVER INTENTIONALLY MISREPRESENT ANYTHING. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. THANK YOU.
ALL GRADING IS VISUAL, UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED.
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+: 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: very good (moderate, even wear throughout but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.) V-: quite playable; 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 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+: most of record remains audible over surface noise but listening uncomfortable. F (fair): further deterioration but still generally audible. P (poor): unplayable.HERE ARE THE PARTICULARS:
LABEL: METEOR 5010 (DON'T KNOW WHETHER TO CLASSIFY THIS AS AN ACETATE (NO METAL), A PROMOTIONAL OR A TEST PRESSING)
SONGS: CRYING IN THE CHAPEL and LEAPING IN CHICAGO
VINYL / SHELLAC GRADE: V to V+ STILL HAS PLENTY OF SHINE, HAS SOME LIGHT MARKS (NOTHING DEEP OR SERIOUS), PLAYS WITH VERY LIGHT BACKGROUND NOISE.
NOTES: RARE INDEED! FOUND THIS ONE WITH A FEW OTHER 1950's R&B 78s IN A SMALL TOWN IN ARKANSAS. COULD BE A ONE OF A KIND. GREAT ADDITION ANY COLLECTION!
