Description

One of the most intense Blues performers to
record in the 1920s.  Blind Willie Johnson was a Texas man
who was capable of singing gospel tunes with great ferocity.

Visually this copy has some wear and plenty of scratches
but still has some gloss left.  Plays strong with moderate background
but has some stripping on the loudest parts, causing some blasting at times but not constantly. 

Starts around G- condition both sides combined with some blasting early (may cause a brief skip on Dying side) but gradually improves and plays G+ or even better, with brightness around the guitar and vocals and less background as you go as well.  A-stamper one side, b-stamper on the other.
Basically, very rough at first and improves.
A wash may improve overall.


No matter the price or number, records are always packed with extreme care.

GRADING

I like the VJM grading system for 78 RPM records:

  • 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
