Artist; Georges Enesco Label; Columbia 20023-D Speed; 78rpm Titles; Aubade Provencale/ Serenade Condition (Please refer to GRADING below for details on code usage.); EE+/ E, Slight groove wear at the beginning of the "Serenade" side, which causes 2-3 light pops but does not interfere with listening. Comment; Wonderful performance and sound ======================================================= GRADING The following are standard codes and definitions used in auctions for 78rpm collectors. Unlike individual dealers who may use the same codes with their own definitions, these are extremely conservative gradings. E+ : Near mint. Only minor surface scuffs that appear to have occurred from taking the record in and out of the sleeve. This is the highest condition notation, but is rarely used. EE+ : Very minor scratches, very shallow scratches, surface scuffs, etc., but with only slight groove wear, the surface is close to new. E : There are some areas of groove wear, but the wear is shallow and the surface is very clean. This is a highly satisfactory condition for many collectors. EE- : Between E and E- E- : Moderate groove wear, scratches, scuffs, etc., but still a good record. V+ : Groove wear is evident in many areas of the surface. There are also many scratches and scuffs, but no so-called BAD SCRATCHES that cause skips. Generally, this condition is said to indicate the result of normal use over time (i.e., not treated carelessly, but used normally as an object for many years), and of course, the music can still be fully enjoyed. VV+ : Between V+ and V V : Groove wear is evident over most of the surface, and the surface luster is diminished or lost. Scratches, scuffs, and other signs of use are noticeable. The following are VV-, V-, G+, G, P, F.
