Description

SAID DERWISH Ana Haweit Wa Intaheit 

Surface-graded: VG (V+)

Nice gloss, and likely closer to VG+ (E-) but since I can't test, I am grading it conservatively. Some wear to label by spindle-hole.

Label:  Baidaphon 082558 Format: Shellac, 11", 78 RPM  Year: 1922  Country:  Stamped "Made in Germany" Genre / Style: World Music / Middle Eastern
Packing / Shipping:
Shellac records are as delicate as glass.  As such, the 10" record will be mailed with extreme care taken.  The record is first placed in a white generic sleeve; it is then placed between two cardboard stiffeners, cut to size, which are taped on either side. The sandwiched record is then bubble wrapped, and placed in a 12" x 12" x 6" box, surrounded by crumpled newspaper to ensure it arrives in one piece.   

Shipping / Handling:  $8 Media Mail or $14 Priority Mail


VJM Grading System: 

Shellac 78 rpm records are surface / play-graded graded using the VJM system w / 3.0 mil Audio-Technica stylus & cartridge especially made for playing 78's 

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 luster 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 graying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level).
