LOVE YOU TIL MY DYING DAY GOODBYE MY LOVE
This is The SERENADERS' FIRST RECORD issued as the MUSKETEERS. It was a LIMITED ISSUE from DETROIT’S ROXY THEATRE From 1952. This is a 78 ONLY ISSUE. In 1953 it was reissued on SWING-TIME, again only on 78.
VERY RARE and DESIRABLE record.
Early BLUES sounding vocal group performance.  Bluesy rocker b/w Deep Ballad. Strictly Fine.  

CONDITION: E Strong E copy, pushing E+

Standard 78 Grading:
N-   NEW MINUS - Highest grade used. Appears unplayed. Full luster. Slight signs of handling
E+   EXCELLENT PLUS - Full luster remains. Very few careful plays. Slightest indications of use or handling.
E    EXCELLENT - Almost full luster. Mild signs of play,  but no serious wear, scratches or scuffs.
E-  EXCELLENT MINUS - Some luster remains,  but record has some apparent wear, scuffs and / or scratches. Still a pretty nice 78, acceptable to most collectors.
V+  VERY GOOD PLUS - Record has considerable wear, scuff and / or scratches. Still plays pretty well but is clearly a used record. An AVERAGE USED 78 is in the V to V+ range.
V   VERY GOOD - Mostly or fully gray from use. Obvious surface noise but probably still plays pretty well. Scuffing and / or scratches more prominent.
V-  VERY GOOD MINUS - Further deterioration. Fully gray with deeper wear and heavy surface noise.
G   GOOD - Very rough, deeply gray, surface noise about equal to music.
F   FAIR - Really beat 78 that may skip. Surface noise exceeds music.
