Joseph Szigeti And The Halle Orchestra Conducted By Sir Hamilton Harty Brahms: Concerto In D Major For Violin & Orchestra Columbia MasterworksSet 117
I have been selling vinyl and shellac online since 1997.  All 78's will be well-packaged (between cardboard and in oversized box with packaging material) and sent promptly.  I will combine multiple wins into a single shipment.  Please contact me with any questions.


78's are graded using the VJM system:
N: As new. 
N-: Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage. 
E+: Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets. 
E: Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches. 
E-: Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches. 
V+: 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: Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive. 
V-: 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+: Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches. 
G:.Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise. 
G-: Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive. 
F: Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable. 
P: Unplayable.
