Vinyl: RARE Chinese National Anthem Golden Star GS 2322-846 78 Record SCRATCHES G.S.
Rare record that's in worn condition.
Both sides have a lot of scratches scuffs. Many are feelable. Mostly long thin surface scratches. No cracks. Not play tested and probably needs a cleaning. Visually graded from 1 to 10 I'd say around a 3 or 4. I'm not sure of the quality of the recordings, so I'm guessing surface noise will be equal to if not above the audio. "National Anthem" lightly written in pen on the label.
This item was found in a 78 RPM travel case. The scratches were caused, most likely, by pulling the records in and out of this case. Not from the needle dragging across the record. I've seen these multiple surface issues on 45 RPM records stored in similar cases.
Please see photos for details. I tried to use my lighting to bring out the worst of the scratching issues. Even without the unshaded bulb there are plenty visible. All that said, still a highly collectible hard to find record. Reasonable offers entertained as I feel out the market for the red label version in this condition.
