MAJOR RECORDS ~ SOUND EFFECTS ~ Lot of 2 vintage 78's Playtested, 100% Disc grading - Good++ Vinyl, not shellac, please note. Various pictures uploaded, disc front and rear - apologies for any tripod reflection - and a view of each of the label details. You are looking at a listing for an item that is in excess of 60 years old. Surface noise and signs of antiquity, either visually or on playback are to be expected. Use the 'Scroll Over' feature for meticulous scrutiny of the condition of the item. Two vintage, used, Major Records releases, sounds effects suppliers of distinction, undated discs, but, I'm assuming, early 1950's-era, a selection of recordings of some antiquity, now, with Naval Gun Shots, Rifle Shots, Racing Cars and clocks - of various types - all on offer... Unusual format on playback, as each section has what can only be described as a 'stopped' groove and the needle sits there, at the end of, say, Mantel Piece Clock and has to be physically moved onto the next traxk, Grandfather's Clock, and this is the same for all the tracks a nd selections included here... The naval shots comprise a series of loud bangs, of varying intensity. The rifles are the standard ricochets and loud retorts, followed, at the end, by what could best be described as The Big Shoot-Out... The Racing Cars have the sound of proper late '40's / early '50's engines about them, no screaming F1 rockets here. ...and the clocks are just a bit spooky, all round, there's something menacing about them. Just my opinion. Various pictures uploaded, a variety of views, check 'em out, they're part of the description, too. Vinyl discs. Released on - Major Records, NY Catalog number, taken from the labels, 5007 and 5024 US issue. Duration - 3 minutes per side, approx. Please read the record grading guide below and familiarize yourself with the grades used and be aware of the full description in all aspects. I strive to grade fairly, and have never sold a record without listening to it first. Visual grading is not an option at all. These approx. 60 year old 78rpm discs I have graded as being in Good++ condition. Both sides play through with no jumping, skipping or any other audio horrors. There are the usual minor hairline surface marks that any 78 of this vintage would accumulate over the passage of time, but they are mainly visual and have no obtrusive impact on playback. There is the expected low-level and generally non-intrusive surface noise, typically common to any used disc of this vintage, and which shouldn't spoil your authentic listening experience! The labels are in good condition, with no major defects, see close-up pictures uploaded. Tracklisting - See pictures. Any questions, email and I'll help if I can. Collectors items!

GRADING GUIDE FOR 78rpm DISCS NM Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage. EX+ Plays like new, with few signs of handling. Minor scuffs visible. EX Very shiny, nearly new looking. No visible signs of wear, inaudible scuffs and scratches. VG++ Still shiny, but without the lustre of a new record. A few light scratches. Light wear. No skipping or sticking passages. VG+ Above average, undeniably vintage condition 78 in which scuffs and general use have dulled the finish of the disc. Wear is moderate, but playback is not overly affected, and is free from distortion. Light surface noise, commensurate with age. No skipping or sticking passages. VG Moderate, even wear throughout, still very playable. Surface noise and scratches, audible but not intrusive. Good++ Quite playable still, distortion on playback due to surface noise. Music remains loud, in most passages, with scratches and surface noise evident but below music level. Good+ Serviceable and acceptable playback. Music may sound muffled in some sections. Noticeably heavier scratches and surface marks. Good Quite obviously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise. Good- Music still prominent, with wear and scratches extensive. Fair Most of music remains audible over continual surface noise, although the vintage 78 experience is an uncomfortable affair. Collection filler material. Poor Unplayable, and most definitely of interest only to the most dedicated...
