Other Than Photo Side: Scarce: ARMAND TOKATYAN, Tenor "Ah! Fuyez" Vocalion A 70008
ANDY's Note: this 50-Year Private Deluxe Collection. A Collection of 99% Opera Singers, a majority of them famous from the Acoustical ENRICO CARUSO Era (prior to 1925) ~ besides many hundreds of individual gems, it also comprises nearly complete mini-Collections of selected individual singers' recordings, such as those by FRANCES ALDA.
ANDY Re: Condition ~ I use the VJM grading system:
M: New and unplayed with no signs of damage. It is extraordinarily rare to find a record in this condition.
N-: Near mint. Has been played, but has no signs of wear or damage.
E+: Plays like new, with few signs of handling.
E: Very shiny, appears like new. Surface contains a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
E-: Still shiny but without the luster of a new record. May have a few light scratches.
V+: Scuffs and scratches have dulled the original finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced.
V: Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
V-: Quite playable, but with distortion and heavy graying in loud passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level.
G+: Grey throughout but still serviceable. Contains heavy scratches.
G: Seriously worn and scratched, but music level still higher than surface noise.
G-: Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage is extensive.
