78 RPM - HARRY JAMES  and his ORCHESTRA – IT’S BEEN A LONG LONG TIME – Heard in “AVENGERS END GAME” movie.  COL 36838. 

 

IT’S BEEN A LONG LONG TIME / AUTUM SERENADE.  COL 36838.  

 

I’m grading this V+ for 78’s because of the small imperfection at the front end of the record (see image) which does not effect playing of this.  Otherwise, I would grade it E-

 

I played this all the way through on a Denon turntable through a high fidelity system (it’s all I have) , side one only, and it played all the way through with NO SKIPS and only light crackle.  Great fidelity.  

Full disclosure here.  A full compliment of photos provided, not just one or two.  You can see the detail and condition provided, not hidden.

GRADING DETAIL: 

 

E- (78) VG- (LP). Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.  LP: Some wear, scratches and scuffs, but no skipped or repeat grooves.

 

V+ (78) G+ LP. 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. LP: Below average with scuffs and scratches on fewer than half the tracks. No skips or repeat grooves.
