PLEASE NOTE: I no longer have
a quality turntable for 78 rpm records – I only have an ancient single unit
record player to use. It has a weakened
speaker so it’s very difficult to tell what distortions are caused by the
player and what might be defects on the discs.
I’ll give you my best guess.

General
Description:
Three 10” 33 rpm discs in a hardcover album with additional synopsis by Carling.
Album: GOOD – Very Good edges with mild wear and a
few tiny abrasions mostly on the bottom from shelf life. Good Corners with mild wear – no
creases. Good Spine – two small (1/2”)
edge splits at the top not in any immediate danger of increasing - lettering is
still 90%. Good surfaces – Back is Very
Good-Plus – Front has an old moderate stain, right center, and the spine tape
is a little worn on the edges of the front.
Inside front surface has the synopsis (by Carling) – Good with some
foxing. Back inside surface (plain brown
paper) is Excellent. Inside spine on the
front is Good with a little wear and some undeterminable stains - still very
strong. Back binding is Excellent.
Discs: VERY GOOD (I’d
like to go higher but, because of my poor player it’s difficult to say). No Pops, skips, repeats, regular tics or loud
static. These are old discs so, quite
naturally, there is a bit of surface noise but overall, these played REALLY
NICE.
