Columbia Johnnie Ray with Ray Conniff

Generic sleeve / No cover

E+

The VJM with Goldmine Comparisons

N (78) (Gold M). As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed). 

N- (78) (Gold M-). Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage. 

E+ (78) (Gold VG+). Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets. 

E (78) (Gold VG). Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches. 

E- (78) (Gold VG-). 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) (Gold G+) 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) (Gold G). Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive. 

V- (78) (Gold G-). 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 scatch 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.
