Comment: CLASSICS recorded in 1954!!! The wonderful sound is etched in the grooves. ===================================================================== GRADING The following are standard codes and definitions used in 78rpm collector auctions. This is a very conservative grading, unlike cases where individual dealers use the same codes but set their own definitions. E+ : Almost like new. There are only superficial scratches that can be considered to have been made when taking the record in and out of the sleeve. This is the highest grade notation, but it is rarely used. EE+ : There are very small scratches, very shallow scratches, and superficial scratches, but the grooves are only slightly damaged, and the playing surface is close to new. E : Although there are some areas where the grooves are slightly damaged, the damage is shallow and the playing surface is very clean. This is a very satisfactory condition for many collectors. EE- : Between E and E- E- : There are some areas where groove damage is noticeable, and there are also scratches, etc., but it is a good record. V+ : Groove damage is noticeable in many areas of the playing surface. Also, there are many scratches, etc., but there are no so-called BAD SCRATCHES that cause the needle to skip. Generally, this condition indicates the result of having been used normally from the past (= not treated poorly, but used normally as a "thing" for many years), and of course, you can fully enjoy the music. VV+ : Between V+ and V V : Groove damage is noticeable in most of the playing surface, and the playing surface is less shiny or has lost its shine. Also, there is a noticeable feeling of use, such as scratches, etc. The following are VV-, V-, G+, G, P, F.
