78 RPM - very early, very vintage original records - "The Yeomen of the Guard" from Gilbert and Sullivan directed by Rupert D'Oyly Carte on a six record set #125 of His Master's Voice 78 records in exceptional condition. Complete with original binder.  The records rate E+ to M-, very clean. The binder rates E, very clean, binding starting to come loose, first sleeve starting to split on the flap.   I believe this abridged 10" version was recorded in 1931.

My grading scale is not complicated.  Mint (M, M-) means like new with only the slightest of scuffing.  Excellent (E, E+, E-) means minor scuffs, scrapes, label wear, light scratches that do not affect the play.  Good (G, G+, G-) means scuffing, scraping, scratches, acceptable playing with noticible noise.  I try not to sell records that are warped or that skip unless noted.  These are records I have picked up while expanding my own record collection.  

I pack very carefully with cardboard reinforcement, bubble wrap and sturdy boxes.  I combine shipping on multiple purchases where possible.  Please use shipping calculator to determine shipping charges to your location.
