WYSIWYG.......What You See Is What You Get, one ULTRA RARE VINTAGE Victor Male Chorus Irish Eyes Are Smiling P-89 4x10" 78, PLAY GRADED Fully Tested. Warning: DISC 1 IS CRACKED. Most shellac 78 are still playable,but this has 2 cracks(3:00 & 5:00).It still plays through with double clicks most rotations, but it is very fragile. It may break in shipment, so consider that disc FREE.  If it is still together then it is a bonus.The rest of the album was play tested from start to finish(on a cheap, manual, record player I got for twenty bucks new off the internet),from beginning to end.It sounds great with no skips or jumps.It plays Smooth, Loud, & Clear with light noise.Were it not for the cracked disc I would grade it at VG+. In the name of CYA, I must say that this record is unplayable & for display ONLY.   The jacket spine is wrapped on the outside with clear tape & on the inside with blue masking tape. The dust sleeves are ALL in great shape. A  generic dust sleeve will also be included for each disc.  Are you confused by the Binder being a VICTOR & the labels RCA Victor?  This was pressed in 1945, the year the Radio Corporation of America(RCA) bought out Victor Records.  Rather than waste product like binder& labels, they decided to use up the old Victor stock. It is not unusual to see records of this time period with a Victor label on one side & an RCA label on the other. My best guess(see grading info below)is Jacket=G+  Sleevse=V+&na(generic) Record PLAY GRADE=VG+, but physical grade=POOR(due to disc 1).  This is a Hollywood pressing.  This record is NOT available from any other source on the internet (I have searched extensively). Please look at all pics & read all information in the listing details before purchasing this item, as it constitutes your acceptance of this item in its photographed/listed condition and your agreement to the terms of sale. NOTE: shipping will include insurance.   

WARNING--Do you want the best for your money? Ask yourself why the other sellers don't show you the album from ALL angles, including the cover, dust jacket, and vinyl. With my listings, you really know what you get due to all of the pics.

NOTE: I am not an expert on grading, but after doing it for a few years, feel as though I now know what I'm doing. I have had ZERO complaints on my grading in that time. Also, I have only lost 2 records to damage during shipping. I am very proud of my record and will always strive to get even better. I don't have a machine to clean records. So, I just dust them with a soft micro-fiber cloth and distilled water. There may still be dust &/or finger prints. I now listen to every record I sell from beginning to end and grade on how it sounds. After all, the way it sounds is far more important than the way it looks. A record can look NM or VG+ , but skip or otherwise sound terrible. Conversely, they can look terrible, but sound great, with little to no noise. It doesn't matter how good a visual grader you are, it is sometimes just impossible to tell without playing it all the way through. VISUAL GRADING is nothing more than a guess! Don't let a lazy seller ruin your day. A record PLAY GRADED & tested fully is the only way to be sure that you are getting what you paid for, a great record. This album HAS been PLAY TESTED from start to finish on both sides. It plays through with no skips or jumps(unless listed in the details above).
