TAMPA RED & GEORGIA TOM 78
VOCALION RECORDS RELEASE. Record is in V- to V condition (labels are as pictured, shiny surface but has dulled in some areas, many scuffs / scratches, many pops & clicks and noise throughout) - visual and play grading. SOUND FILES BELOW OF THE ACTUAL RECORD FOR SALE.
Buyer to pay postage: $5.99 shipping (bookrate/media mail) within the US, $18.00 to Canada, OR $25.00 for international postage.
US Priority mail and insurance will vary. All music is shipped in record-mailer boxes with sufficient packaging and protection.
Each 78 is graded carefully and conservatively using the standard VJM 78rpm grading system listed below:
N As new and unplayed
N- Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
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+ 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 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.
G+ Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
G Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
G- Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.
F Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
P Unplayable.
