Part 1: VG+ Some hairlines and two small scratches. One which is about 10 mm long at the very start and the other is about 20 mm long; you may hear some crackling or faint ticks, (standard for 78's) A small “blister” caused in manufacture.

RECORD GRADING
Conditions is expressed as follows, but please note that most albums will have the occasional crackle, tic or even a pop as this is the nature of vinyl: LP cleaner will of course improve the sound, this is without a doubt!
NEAR MINT: The record appears like new but is known to have been played perhaps because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner and is assumed to have been played by them.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, with some distortion and clearly visible scratches. The cover/box and the contents suffer from folding, tears and scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc...
We are located in beautiful Switzerland, service comes first!
POSTAGE WORLD WIDE:
They will be sent off as PRIORITY POST, registered! (generally 5-7 working days). I will NOT send them off unregistered nor as standard post!
