Description
E+; Test pressing of a very rare side in near perfect condition. I honestly think even the Victor was of lesser pressing quality. This looks laminated. It lacks 'That's Like It Ought To Be' on the flip, but this was never re-released as far as I know and it's in the best condition you'll ever find. It's the closest thing you'll ever get to finding the master copy. More than likely, you'll only get one chance at finding a copy this clean. These were pressed when HMV was screening Jelly Roll Morton's Victor takes for reissue, I'd guess from the original master.
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.
