  THIS DISC IS FROM THE ARMED FORCES RADIO SERVICE on a 16" TRANSCRIPTION DISC.   


DISC --- VOLUME P-156 RED NORVO AND QUARTETTE & VOLUME P-157 JO STAFFORD WITH PAUL WESTON AND HIS ORCHESTRA

. 

THIS DISC WAS PART OF THE WAR DEPARTMENT'S "BASIC MUSICAL LIBRARY".  IT WAS USED BY THE MILITARY FOR THEIR BROADCASTS TO THE TROOPS DURING AND AFTER WORLD WAR II. SELECTIONS ON THE RED NORVO  SIDE ARE AS FOLLOWS: FACE ON THE BARROOM FLOOR //  WITH WHICH SWITCH WITCH //  WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE // CHINA BOY THE JO STAFFORD / PAUL WESTON  SIDE CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING SELECTONS: WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES ( HALF WAY THROUGH THERE IS A 1 SOUND OF EXTRA WEAR )  //  DON'T YOU KNOW I CARE //  I DON'T WANT TO LOVE YOU.

CONDITION OF THIS DISC:    THE NORVO SIDE SOUNDS GOOD WITH NO PROBLEMS.  RATE THIS SIDE "E+" *.  THE STAFFORD / WESTON SIDE HAS A BIT MORE WEAR AND THAT ONE SECOND OF A INCREASED SURFACE NOISE.  RATE THIS SIDE AN "E".      

*NOTE: "M" is NOT "MINT" 

    WE USE THE GOLDMINE GRADING SCALE

DEALER STOCK --- NEVER PLAYED.

N --- LOOKS LIKE NEW or DEALER STOCK BUT WITH THE ULTRA SLIGHTEST SIGN OF WEAR.

M --- LOOKS LIKE IT JUST CAME OUT OF THE STORE BUT HAS A FEW TICKS THAT KEEP IT FROM PERFECT

E --- EXCELLENT BUT NOT PERFECT.  SHOWS A FEW FLAWS.

VG ( very good )  --- SHOWS FLAWS.  HAS SURFACE WEAR AND SOME SURFACE NOISE SHOULD BE EXPECTED.  NO NASTY SCRATCHES, NEEDLE DROPS, RIM CHIPS, OR OTHER MAJOR PROBLEMS. 

GOOD ---  ACTUALLY, A FAIRLY USED RECROD THAT IS NEARING THE END OF ITS USEFUL LIFE.

FAIR or GOOD --- NOT MUCH OF EITHER.  BUY IT UNTIL YOU CAN FIND A BETTER COPY. 

"+'S"  & "-'S" --- TAKE IT UP OR DOWN A HALF STEP. 

As you can see this is pretty subjective stuff.  We try to be strict graders.
