RECORD #1 (R711):

ARTIST/GROUP:  Don Large Chorus

TITLE(S):  "The Bells of St. Mary's" / "Star Dust"

DESCRIPTION:  Acapella choir

GRADE:  Very Good Plus (V+)

CONDITION NOTES:  Record surfaces have lots of gloss with light visible scuffs and scratches.  This item plays with excellent fidelity and volume, and with light surface noise.

ARTIST/GROUP:  Judy and Jen/Nancy Lee and the Hilltoppers

TITLE(S):  "Flat River, Missouri" / "Don't Tetch It"

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.
