ARTIST: Carlos Gardel LABEL: Odeon 188.013 TITLES: Fierro Chifle / Noviecita Mia CONDITION: E / E- DESCRIPTION: Tango legend Carlos Gardel on a glossy Odeon with just a few grooves showing play on Noviecita Mia side.
78 GRADING: We use the universally recognized VJM Vintage Jazz Mart 78 rpm system in grading our 78s with some streamlining as noted, eliminating some of the hair splitting on records graded V- and below G , G, G-, F .
We grade conservatively, and if upon receipt you feel the record has been improperly graded, you may return it for a full refund no questions asked.
We will also note any other visual defects such as scuffing and scratches, rim chips or flakes and hair or lam cracks.
In addition to the visual grading, where there might be audio issues we will play a record and offer a brief description of the overall sound quality.
E Highest grade used.
A record that might have minor handling marks but has no visible signs of wear.
N, N- and E records will all be graded as E .
E Record has slight signs of handling and use but groove wear should be barely detectable and grooves should still be glossy and black.
E- Light groove wear with grey rubbing and light circular gray grooves starting to appear, but record should still retain glossy black grooves for almost all of the surface.
V Grey wear, handling and groove wear more apparent, but much of the groove area will still have black.
V Record is approaching an overall grey surface with uniform wear, but will still play well even though the level of surface noise and distortion could be distracting.
V- Record has wear throughout, and was subject to continual playing to wring more sound out of it, so even the grey is in a more advanced state of deterioration with groove walls disappearing.
P This grade generally indicates poor condition on a good title.
