I am thinning out my 78 collection.  Here is another set of duplicates from the high shelf...
A collection of 78s from Al Bowlly's solo recordings from the 1930s. 

Some great tracks in this set!

Decca F3695
A: Night And Day (V grade. A little distortion, but swish throughout)
B: Love Locked Out (V grade. Slight swish throughout)

HMV BD226 (with orchestra arranged by Ray Noble)
A: There's Something In The Air (V+)
B: Basin Street Blues (V+)

HMB BD565
A: Goodnight Angel (V- grade. A bit noisy, light scratches)
B: When The Mighty Organ Played 'O! Promise Me' (V grade. A bit noisy, light scratches)

US Bluebird B-7317 (with orchestra) No UK issue of A side.
A: Sweet As A Song (V+. Plays E- despite scuffs. Faded label)
B: Half Moon On The Hudson (V+. Plays E despite scuffs. Faded label)
These records are graded using the VJM grading system, and were play tested using a Goldring L55 with a Stanton 500 cartridge and a 3.5ml TC stylus.

I have been collecting 78s for nearly 20 years, and will pack very carefully!  I am happy to combine shipments on multiple wins to save on postage costs.  Please request an invoice and wait for my response. 

If you have any questions, please ask!

VJM grading guide for 78s
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+ 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.
