Charley Patton on Paramount 12877 Tom Rushen Blues/Pea Vine Blues This record is in Fair condition. I'm not grading it poor because it plays through on my equipment without jumping or skipping. There is a tight approx, 1/1/4" crack from the lead in, towards the label. One edge flake close to, but not into the 1st groove. No gloss whatsoever. Heavy label wear as scans demonstrate. It's listenable, providing you have the commitment. Not much of a record obviously, but it is a Patton. Please, don't expect anything beyond what is in the listing. I've provided complete clips of both sides. This is a 7 day listing
Listen: Tom Rushen Blues
Listen: Pea Vine Blues
All 78s are packed safely and securely. I use deep boxes, cardboard, bubble wrap and styrofoam.
Please note: I strive for 100% satisfaction, if you are unhappy with any aspect of the transaction, let me know and I'll do everything I can to make it right. Anything less than 5 stars is really unsatisfactory, due to the way in which the Ebay feedback system is skewed. So please, if you are satisfied with your purchase, leave 5. Thanks
78 Grading Standards (with thanks to VJM)
N New and unplayed (Very few 78s can categorically be called unplayed)
E+ Plays like new, with 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 shine of a new record, a few light scratches.
V++ In between V+ and E-
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 graying 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 scratches are extensive.
F Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
P Unplayable.
