McCOLLUM'S SACRED SINGERS
VOCALION 1591
G-

TITLES:            A) OH LORD I'M YOUR CHILD
           B) GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH

Outrageously scarce sanctified gospel recording by Mother McCollum's Sanctified Singers on a well worn Vocalion 78 RPM recording from 1930.

Record plays with constant and steady background crackle and hiss.  "A" side music is about even with noise, while "B" side starts at music to noise at 50/50 but improves midway through the side to 60/40.  Few skipped grooves on each side.  Comes in repro Vocalion Race Records sleeve.

VJM 78 RECORD GRADING System:

New / Excellent / Very Good / Good / Fair / Poor

- - - - -

N . As NEW and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).

N- . NEW MINUS, nearly mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.

E+ . EXCELLENT PLUS, plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.

E . EXCELLENT, still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.

E- . EXCELLENT MINUS, still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.

V+ . VERY GOOD PLUS, 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- . VERY GOOD MINUS, 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+ . GOOD PLUS, grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.

G . GOOD, quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.

G- . GOOD MINUS, music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.

F . FAIR, most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.

P . POOR, unplayable.
