Wright Bessinger Croon Little Lullaby / Sitting On Top of World Edison 51640 V Record Grade is V Unsleeved. Please note: beginning june 2020 we have moved to VJM grading system for all 78 rpm records. Grading methodology is As Follows: 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 lustre of a new record, few light scratches. LP: Some wear, scratches and scuffs, but no skipped or repeat grooves. V+ (78) 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. 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 greying 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. 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.
