Do you have a record or two that most people would toss as soon as blink? I have two such discs. Sadly this first one will never be played. It has two cracks to rival the Grand Canyon. These run from dead wax to dead wax. The second one plays and is best appreciated from the next room. This has a surface that... well lets just say the bacon is frying. What have you kept that would make outsiders look at you funny, if you ever showed them? James.

If you look at that Columbia for a minute it looks like its growing fur!

This aint no Long Hair Music! (Not that there is anything wrong with that. I just would not have kept a classical recording in less than E- condition.)
I'm A Tough Old Rider Blues, I Still Got A Groove Blues, or What'd He Say? Blues could be this one's alternate titles.

Visibly beat Viva Tonal Columbias usually play better than they look. A Victor looking like that will sound like over-modulated wild fire.

I don't have any as bad as those. Since I get the vast majority of my 78s from "junking", if they are cracked, they go in the garbage. Although I try not to buy the cracked ones, sometimes they slip through my initial exam at the store. Only exception I've made was a set narrated by Loretta Young called "The Littlest Angel". One of them is cracked, but still playable, but even then I didn't see that it was cracked before I bought it. For $1.99 for the three-record set, I'm not complaining.
