LOUIS ARMSTRONG RARITY

Over 30 years experience properly grading and shipping records. NO Zero Feedback or private FB Buyers.

No shipments to Greece, Spain, France, Italy unless you have bought from us before OR HAVE REFERENCES.

Shipping: Records expertly packed in sturdy oversize boxes with lots of cardboard & peanuts to insure safe arrival, using new materials. 

Domestic buyers please note: When the package gets expensive at my discretion I may require priority shipping for greater protection; as well as I pack most buyers don't want $100 records sent media and I agree!

Domestic shipping includes tracking. If you want priority regardless please let me know.

I can hold orders if you would like to combine with future wins but wins must be paid for at invoicing.

OVERSEAS Note: There is a USPS flat rate large Priority box that for $78(formerly 60.95!) you can ship up to 16 78's

For Canada the same flat rate box is now $54.

All used Records conservatively graded by the VJM Record Grading System(vjm.biz)

Slash(E-/V+) means the first side is the grade before the slash...

E+ is the highest grade I use:

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

E+ (78) VG+ (LP). Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.

E (78) VG (LP). Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.

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.

V (78) G (LP). Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.

V- (78) G- (LP). 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. LP: Lowest Grade. Audible scratches, etc. on more than half the tracks. Listening uncomfortable.

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 scatch damage extensive.

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

P (78). Unplayable.
