Bix Beiderbecke 5 x 78 Shellac Records Jazz Parlophone All Excellent Condition

Description: Sorry / At The Jazz Ball (E) Margie / Louisiana (E) Royal Garden Blues / Jazz Me Blues (E) Royal Garden Blues / Jazz Me Blues (E) Bixology / Singin’ The Blues (E) The record has been professionally cleaned and play-tested. I’ve pictured the record in a strong light so you can see the condition of the shellac. Plays all the way through; no skipping. Please take a good look at the pictures. I have been cautious with my grading as I wouldn't want to disappoint any buyers. I am an experienced eBay seller, 8 years on this account but over 20 years in total, and will ensure the record is securely packaged. I am not experienced in grading shellac records, but I have play tested everything that I have listed and although on some existing listings have used Record Collector grading, I have started to observe the VJM record grading system. The grading is as follows: 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 few inaudible 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 scratch damage extensive. F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable. P (78). Unplayable. NB: Damage to labels and jackets (LP) should be noted whenever present.
