78 SHELLAC DISC GRADING:
N (78) NM (LP). As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
N- (78) NM- (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) VG- 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.
