Description: EDDIE FURMAN - IT'S A TOUGH OLD WORLD / THE HALLELUJAH SONG Playtested, 100% Disc grading - VG+ 4 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 65 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. The controversial and confrontational 1950's Light Entertainer With a Distinctly Risquè edge, Eddie Furman, offers an alternative track to his more well-known misogynist-fest (Jobs I'd Like To Have) with an equally unpleasant stroll through his bizarre Old Skool Sexist Early 1950's world...you can just imagine the succession of gags at the expense of women, you name it, he tackles it full-on...this is a man who relished the opportunity to sial close to the wind, wheter it was 1953, or niot 4 pictures uploaded, a variety of views, check 'em out. Shellac disc. Released on - Monarch, of Linden, NJ Catalogue number, taken from the label, MO 602 Style of music, from label details - Comedy Vocal with Instrumental Accompaniment. US issue. Duration - 6 minutes in total, approx. Matrix numbers - Side One - MO 33 Side Two - MO 34 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. This approx. 65 year old 78rpm disc I have graded as being in Very 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 real impact on playback. There is the expected low-level and generally non-intrusive surface noise, typically common to any used shellac disc of this vintage, and which shouldn't spoil your authentic listening experience! A perfectly acceptable shellac-to-mp3 transfer, with a suitable turntable. Keep it real but in a digital way! The labels are in good condition, with no major defects, see close-up pictures uploaded. Tracklisting - Side One - It's a Tough Old World Side Two - The Hallelujah Song Any questions, email and I'll help if I can. Rare item, it's not the song about jobs he'd like to do, so take a trip down Memory Lane...but don't be at all surprised if you find yourself mildly horrified...

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...
