Description

Guitarist Allen Bunn sings lead on “Eyesight,” which the label touted as “The Biggest Blues Tune of a Decade!” Bunn is joined by bass David McNeil’s patter on the bright-tempo, “I Ain’t Fattenin’ Frogs for Snakes” which recalls the King Cole Trio. A very clean copy, just some surface scuffs nap, easily E- or better.
Records are played with 2.25 mil Truncated Eliptical stylus, with proper equalization and minimal filtering. Grade is based on the VJM Record Grading System: N As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed). N- Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage. E+ Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets. E Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches. E- Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches. V+ 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. V Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive. V- 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. G+ Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches. G Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise. G- Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive. F Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable. P Unplayable.
