Description
Although my profile is in vacation mode, this item is available for immediate shipment.
A very nice set of discs from Meade Lux Lewis. I believe what is most unique about this set, aside from the pre-War content, is the cover. I am not sure if it was issued, or rudimentary construction. It does have tape holding it together around the edges.
Both discs play well with a grading of E based on the chart below. Some ring wear as seen in the pictures. Still a good amount of sheen on the lacquer finish.
I have recently acquired a small collection of 78s including some additional Blue Note recordings and will be listing them, time permitting.
- N. As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be 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+. 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.
