E- Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.  The record has light surface noise throughout, but sounds very good.  


I am not an expert record grader, but I am listening to these on a sensitive Stanton turntable through my modern tuner and Bose speakers.  I'm using a 3.5mm stylus designed to play 78 size grooves on a modern turntable.  78s from the 1920s usually have some surface noise using this setup. 


Loveless Love sounded very good.  There is surface noise, but most 78s from the 1920s that I play have some surface noise on my phonograph and stereo setup.  You'll love the piano solo on that side!  


One More Time sounded equally good, but in the last 20 seconds or so the needle started to skip due to a tiny needle dig in the record.  If my tonearm and cartridge weren't so light, it would have played through without incident.  


Thanks for your bids!
