Sound clips (where applicable) are recorded unfiltered directly from the record for sale using an Audio Technica LP120X with an AT-VM95SP cartridge. 

RECORD CONDITION: V+

NOTES: 

78s are graded using the VJM system, shown below for reference:

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

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

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

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

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

V+ : 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 : Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.

V- : 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 scatch damage extensive.

F : Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.

P : Unplayable.
