Description

1216. VINTAGE 78 RPM RECORD ~ SUN 281 (1957)


ARTIST/GROUP:  Jerry Lee Lewis and his Pumping Piano

 

TITLE(S):  "Great Balls of Fire" / "You Win Again"

 

DESCRIPTION:  Vocals with piano and rhythm

 

GRADE:  Very Good Plus (V+) visually...Excellent (E) aurally

 

CONDITION NOTES:  Record labels are crisp and bright with a few light visible scuffs, small spindle scratches, light wear around spindle hole (both sides), and a side label tear on "Win" (done during manufacture?).  


Record surfaces are very glossy with some light visible scuffs and scratches (none sound or affect play) and a small pin-sized edge chip not near grooves.  This item plays with wonderful fidelity, fantastic volume, great "Sun" records reverb, and very light (barely audible) surface noise at beginnings.  This item has no visible cracks, stains, warps, or water damage.


***No worries about packing…I pack for shipment like the pros - record secured between cardboard squares in large box with plenty of padding.

 

Payment is expected within three (3) days of auction end.  In the case of multiple auction wins, shipping rates will be discounted – an invoice will be sent to you (if applicable).  Returns are accepted…buyer pays return shipping.

GRADING IS CONSERVATIVE USING THE VJM RECORD GRADING SYSTEM:


N (78). As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).


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 luster of a new record, a few light scratches and scuffs.

 

V+ (78).  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 graying 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.
