A side: Auntie Skinner's Chicken Dinner

B side: Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag

In G condition a slight audible warp otherwise would be V

The postage reflects the packaging needs due to the brittle nature of shellac 78rpmI will combine postage depending on location and up to 4 x 78s, please ask....

I use the VJM grading for shellac records

N (78). As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that

can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).


N- (78). Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of

wear or damage.


E+ (78). Plays like new, with very, very few signs of

handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.


E  (78).

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


E- (78). Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record,

few light scratches. 



V+ (78). 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 (78). Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very

playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.


V- (78). 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+ (78). Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound

muffled. Heavy scratches.


G (78). Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still

higher than surface noise.


G- (78). Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.


F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but

listening now uncomfortable.


P (78). Unplayable.
