Bill Haley And His Comets - Thirteen Women / (We're Gonna) Rock Around The Clock
Original Decca 78 shellac, black/gold labels, original Decca sleeve
Surprisingly enough, this record was considered a dud when initially released in 1954. After it's B side was used in the movie 'Blackboard Jungle' in 1955, interest in 'Rock Around The Clock' grew exponentially. Entering the Top 40 on May 14, 1955 and hitting #1 on July 9, where it stayed for 8 weeks.
Graded borderline "E/E-" using the VJM grading system, and we strive to be as accurate as possible (see below for details)
All used records are visually graded conservatively under bright LED lighting and examined from all angles. Incandescent light may yield a higher grade.
Will be shipped in a rigid mailer specifically designed for 78rpm / 10" records and safe arrival is guaranteed.
78rpm Record Grading Policy:
N- (78) Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
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) 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 (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.
Payment due within 72 hours or unpaid buyer case will be opened.
