Old jazz record as seen and heard in Avengers Endgame movie. Harry James 78rpm Shellac Record.
Harry James and his Orchestra -
It's Been A Long, Long Time / Autumn Serenade
Columbia 36838
Description: This 1945 record visually grades well, but for playback grades as G+ (See information below). This record is playable but is quite gray/muffled and surface noise is certainly present. There are not many visible scratches.
It's Been A Long, Long Time side - Label has sticker on label, with slight peel (shown in photos). Otherwise there are few visual issues.
The Autumn Serenade side - Record has a few specs of white on the record that may affect playback.
The VJM Record Grading System
N (78). As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
N- (78). Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
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. LP: Some wear, scratches and scuffs, but no skipped or repeat grooves.
V+ (78). 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 (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.
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.
