VG+ to M-  Released in 1973 ... I knew nothing about the group or label. And then I  received this, and thought it important to include it in the listing:  "New message from: twr1230 (2,306)Hello,I thought I would let you know that this group was based in Staten Island, NY. I personally knew two of the members of this group, which included the late Wayne Smith, and his then-wife Chickie (Brown) Smith. Wayne would later become the second lead singer of the Capris, replacing the late Nick Santo (There's A Moon Out Tonight). Wayne also was a singer with Little isadore and the Inquisitors, as well as Ronnie I's Cliftonaires. Wayne also sang with many other groups including the Passions. Wayne was engaged to marry Sandi Italiano, the widow of Ronnie I, when he suddenly passed away in 2016. A very tragic occurance, to say the least. I thought you would be interested to know about this group."

We Use The VJM Record Grading System

NB 45s use the LP system as below.

N (78) M (LP). As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).

N- (78) M- (LP). Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.

E+ (78) VG+ (LP). Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.

E (78) VG (LP). Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.

E- (78) VG- (LP). Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches. LP: Some wear, scratches and scuffs, but no skipped or repeat grooves.

V+ (78) G+ (LP) V+ is an average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced. LP: Below average with scuffs and scratches on fewer than half the tracks. No skips or repeat grooves.

V (78) G (LP). Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.

V- (78) G- (LP). Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level. LP: Lowest Grade. Audible scratches, etc. on more than half the tracks. Listening uncomfortable.

G+ (78). Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.

G (78). Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.

G- (78). Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.

F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.

P (78). Unplayable.

NB: Damage to labels and jackets (LP) should be noted whenever present.
