34. VINTAGE 78 RPM RECORD ~ VICTOR 20797, IN ORIGINAL PAPER SLEEVE
ARTIST/GROUP: Kelly Harrell with Virginia String Band (Posey Rorer, R.D. Hundley, Alfred Steagall)
TITLE(S): "Charles Giteau" / "Henry Clay Beattie"
DESCRIPTION: Country vocal with small string band
GRADE: Excellent Minus (E-)
CONDITION NOTES: Record labels are crisp and bright with light scuffs, a few very light scratches, and small spots on both labels. Record surfaces are glossy with a few visible scuffs, some small scratches, and light spotting (could use a gentle cleaning). This item plays with excellent fidelity, good volume, light surface noise, and has a very slight rough start on "Giteau" that passes quickly.
The paper Victor sleeve has numerous creases, small folds, partial old sticker around center on back, light pink stain, a few small edge tears along top opening, and has yellowed and/or browned due to age.
***No worries about packing…I pack for shipment like the pros - record secured between cardboard squares in large box with plenty of padding.

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.
