UP FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS ONE OF MANY 78 RPM RECORD ALBUMS THAT I INHERITED FROM MY LATE GREAT UNCLE BOB. IT IS AN EPIC (PRODUCT OF CBS) LABEL BY LILLIAN BRIGGS UNDER THE DIRECTION OF O.B. MASINGILL. ONE SIDE IS THE SONG 'DON'T STAY AWAY TOO LONG' AND THE OTHER SIDE IS' I WANT YOU TO BE MY BABY' THIS IS A RARE FIND!! THESE RECORDS ARE ABOUT 60-70 YEARS OLD. MY UNCLE BOB DID NOT HAVE A LOT OF POSSESSIONS AND LIVED SIMPLY; BUT HE WAS METICULOUS ABOUT WHAT HE DID HAVE. HE NEVER MARRIED AND NEVER HAD CHILDREN SO I GUESS HE HAD TIME TO FUSS OVER THINGS. I SEE HE NUMBERED SOME OF HIS RECORDS WHICH TELLS ME HE MOST LIKELY KEPT AN INVENTORY. EACH RECORD HAS BEEN CAREFULLY CLEANED (NO ALCOHOL WAS USED!!) AND TESTED BY PLAYING THEM ON A MODERN TURNTABLE THAT PLAYS 78’S. I WILL GRADE EACH RECORD AS CAREFULLY AND ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE. PLEASE KNOW I AM A NOVICE. I WILL USE THE FOLLOWING SCALE: 
MINT: PERFECT. BRAND NEW CONDITION WITH NO MARKS OR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY. COVER AND EXTRAS ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. ABBREVIATION: M

NEAR MINT: UNPLAYED CONDITION THAT MAY BE STOCK FROM OLD RECORD STORE, FOR INSTANCE. ABBREVIATION: NM

EXCELLENT: RECORD SHOWS SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED, BUT LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY. COVER AND PACKAGING MIGHT HAVE SLIGHT WEAR AND CREASING. ABBREVIATION: EX

EXCELLENT - : EXCELLENT (AS DESCRIBED PREVIOUSLY) THAT COULD BE QUITE SCUFFED BUT NO DEEP SCRATCHES AND ONLY MINOR GRAYING OR WORN-LOOKING PATCHES. ABBREVIATION: EX-

VERY GOOD: PLAYED MANY TIMES WITH NO MAJOR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY DESPITE NOTICEABLE SURFACE MARKS AND OCCASIONAL LIGHT SCRATCH. ABBREVIATION: VG

VERY GOOD +: VERY GOOD (AS DESCRIBED ABOVE) THAT SOUNDS PLEASANT WITH USUAL BACKGROUND HISS AND SOUND DETERIORATION. ABBREVIATION: VG+

VERY GOOD -: VERY GOOD (AS DESCRIBED PREVIOUSLY) THAT IS LISTENABLE BUT TOUGH ON THE EARS. ABBREVIATION: VG-

THEY WILL BE WRAPPED WELL IN BUBBLE WRAP AND THEN BOXED WITH MORE PADDING SURROUNDING THE RECORDS. THERE ARE ONLY SO MANY OF THESE OLD RECORDS IN EXISTENCE AND IT WOULD BE SAD TO HAVE THEM ARRIVE IN PIECES. I WILL DO MY BEST TO GET THEM TO YOU SAFELY.
