Description

Both sides play well
Here is a youtube video so you can hear it (not the actual record I'm auctioning) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZegcXOZ0jo
This is a strange issue. Murray never went to Britain and he shows up on this eight inch British issue. I do know there were some Marathon masters that did show up at this time time in Britain which is probably the origin of this one. Don't know if this was ever issued in the USA on Marathon.
Visual Grading: E and plays E Notes on runoff in china marker (to my wife when I'm gone) - Easily removable VJM Record Grading System - please see below
Postage is $5.00 domestically and I'll ship up to 8 items in one parcel International shipping is the actual cost of postage and packing materials (generally over $25) I know how to pack 78s so they get to you safe.
Immediate payment NOT NECESSARY as you may want to accumulate winnings to save money on postage. If you could pay within 28 days of close of the 1st auction you win, it would be appreciated.
I grade VISUALLY, mostly, but if it is an expensive item, I also test play them. I don't want anyone to be disappointed !!!!! I'm a collector too (I've got over 25,000 and have been collecting since the early 1960s). Grading is conservative giving a lower grade if there is any question.
VJM Record Grading System:
E+ (78) Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
E (78) Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
E- (78) Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.
V+ (78) 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 (78) Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
V- (78) 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+ (78). Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
G (78). Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
