This record was purchased in October 2020 from a record collector in Virginia.   

We professionally pack all our records between two cardboard pads, then put in a box with packing peanuts. 

Records graded based on the VJM guide:

N (NM Near Mint) As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).


N- (NM-) Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.


E+ (EX+) Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.


E  (EX) Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.


E-  (EX-) Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.  


V+ (VG+) 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. LP: Below average with scuffs and scratches on fewer than half the tracks. No skips or repeat grooves.


V (VG) Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.


V- (VG-) 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.
