Description

Beautiful clean E+ copy of Ray Noble's "Midnight, the Stars and You" with Al Bowlly vocal from 1934. 
This record is notable as having been featured in the 1980 horror film, The Shining. It has come to symbolize Jack Nicholson's descent into madness. Hauntingly nostalgic and creepy. Hear it in its full original fidelity! It plays flawlessly on my system.
Certainly scarce in condition. This, however, is probably the cleanest copy you will see offered for some time. 
The flip (of lesser interest, no doubt), Lullaby in Blue by Jack Jackson, is in E condition with a small scratch near the end that will sound a few times. Label as pictured.
Record(s) will be packed well. VJM grading used. Ships in generic sleeve unless otherwise noted. Combined shipping for multiple records. International buyers responsible for any import charges that may sometimes be imposed by your government.
This record was professionally cleaned with a VPI 16.5

The VJM Record Grading System.

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

N- (78) M- (LP). Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.

E+ (78) VG+ (LP). Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.

E  (78) VG (LP). Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a fewinaudible scuffs and scratches.

E- (78) VG- (LP). Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches. LP: Some wear, scratches and scuffs, but no skipped or repeat grooves.

V+ (78) G+ LP. 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. LP: Below average with scuffs and scratches on fewer than half the tracks. No skips or repeat grooves.

V (78) G (LP). Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.

V- (78) G- (LP). 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. LP: Lowest Grade. Audible scratches, etc. on more than half the tracks. Listening uncomfortable.

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.

G- (78). Music still prominent, but wear and scatch damage extensive.

F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.

P (78). Unplayable.
