Harry Hudson's Melody Men Why Do I Love You - Fox Trot Ol' Man River - Fox Trot British Edison Bell Radio 852 - 8 inches (rec. 1929)
Plays well, nice clear (no distortion) and loud.
This version is faster than most and has some nice solos. This item sounds very nice.
Hear this version (quite hot) on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EA6DB1vv_AQ
Audio Grading: E / Visual Grading: E
plays well and strong Notes on runoff in china marker (to my wife when I'm gone) - Easily removable VJM Record Grading System - please see below
Postage is $5.00 domestically and I'll ship up to 8 items in one parcel for the same price. I know how to pack 78s so they get to you safe.
International bidders - actual postage cost plus cost of shipping materials. Unfortunately, shipping to other countries is very expensive and unless you really want this record it is not cost effective. International postage is often more expensive than the value of this record.
Immediate payment NOT NECESSARY as you may want to accumulate winnings to save money on postage. If you could pay within 28 days of close of the 1st auction you win, it would be appreciated.
I grade AUDIBLY and consider VISUALLY, but above grading is auditory. I have hads\ records which looked new, but the surface of playback quality was disappointing. I don't want anyone to be disappointed !!!!! I'm a collector too (I've got over 25,000 and have been collecting since the early 1960s). To me, the sound is key! Grading is conservative giving a lower grade if there is any question.
VJM Record Grading System:
E+ (78) Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
E (78) Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
E- (78) Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.
V+ (78) 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.
V (78) Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
V- (78) 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.
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.
