as ebay site keeps having technical issues and some of the videos I upload that provide audio of the music do not appear I ask that you write me and let me know if you see any where the video is not there or not working and I will re-upload the video so you can hear it.  so sorry about this.  I contacted ebay to correct this issue but no help from them.  Trying my best to make sure all videos are working .  thanks any sorry for the issues with some of the audio on some of the listings.  

PLEASE NOTE THIS RECORD IS LOCATED IN GERMANY AND WILL BE SHIPPED FROM GERMANY.

****************************************CONDITION OF ITEM FOR SALE****************************************

DISC: ALL THE AFRICAN ACETATE RECORDS RANGE FROM VG TO VG+ OR BETTER.  THESE WERE PRODUCED EITHER IN THE FIELD OR AT THE RADIO STATION STUDIO IN LUSAKA.  THE SOUND QUALITY VARIES A LOT.  THEY ARE NOT COMMERCIAL RELEASES AND NEARLY ALL ARE THE ONLY EXISTING COPY OF THE RECORDING.  SOME DISC ARE SUPER CLEAN AND PLAY NOT SO WELL DUE TO RECORDING QUALITY OTHERS ARE IN LESS PERFECT AND PLAY BEAUTIFUL.  SO VISUAL GRADING IS NOT REALLY THE BEST WAY TO JUDGE THESE DISCS THE BEST IS TO LISTEN TO THEM .  EACH LISTING HAS A SOUND CLIP TO GIVE YOU A CLEAR IDEA OF THE SOUND QUALITY.

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

 N-
Nearly New, 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 sleeves.

 E : Excellent 
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 luster of a new record, few light scratches.

 V+
V+ 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 : Very Good 
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 : Good 
Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is stillhigher than surface noise.
