This record is play graded using the VJM grading system, using a Goldring L55 with a Stanton 500 cartridge and a 3.0ml TC stylus.  The sound quality on your player may be different.

I have been collecting 78s for nearly 20 years, and will pack very carefully using sturdy double-walled boxes.  I am happy to combine shipments on multiple wins to save on postage costs.  Please request an invoice and wait for my response before paying.  I can get up to 5 records in the initial postage band.  UK postage on over 5 records will be £9.50 up to a maximum of 15 records per box.

If you have any questions or problems when you receive the records, please message me and we'll sort something out.

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.
