ARTIST:  Junie C. Cobb and His Grains Of Corn / Six Jolly Jesters
LABEL:   Vocalion 1449
TITLES:  Once Or Twice / Oklahoma Stomp
CONDITION:  V+/EE-
DESCRIPTION: Pair of hot sides from 1929. Oklahoma Stomp plays great, Once or Twice seems to be a bit of an uneven pressing and has some increasing noise toward the end not obviously owing to wear.

For the foreseeable future, I will be listing great items from my own personal collection of 1920s classic jazz. 
78 GRADING:  We use the universally recognized VJM (Vintage Jazz Mart) 78 rpm system in grading our 78s with some streamlining as noted,  eliminating some of the hair splitting on records graded V- and below (G+, G, G-, F).  

E+

Highest grade used. A record that might have minor handling marks but has no visible signs of wear.  N, N- and E+ records will all be graded as E+.

E
Record has slight signs of handling and use but groove wear should be barely detectable and grooves should still be glossy and black. 

E-
Light groove wear with grey rubbing and light circular gray grooves starting to appear, but record should still retain glossy black grooves for almost all of the surface.

V+
Grey wear, handling and groove wear more apparent, but much of the groove area will still have black.

V
Record is approaching an overall grey surface with uniform wear, but will still play well even though the level of surface noise and distortion could be distracting.

V-
Record has wear throughout, and was subject to continual playing to wring more sound out of it, so even the grey is in a more advanced state of deterioration with groove walls disappearing.

P
This grade generally indicates poor condition on a good title.
