BLUES 78: JOHNNY FULLER Train Train Blues/Black Cat HOLLYWOOD 1043
1954 recording produced in San Francisco by Bob Geddins but sounding more like a down-home blues from Fuller’s home state of Mississippi or an early postwar Chicago session (one side like Willie Nix, the other like Muddy Waters). Walter Robinson is on harmonica on Train Train Blues. Check youtube for sound clips.
Record is E with very little wear; it came from a store stock in Texas several decades ago and possibly due to heat or humidity some of the 78s have a superficial film which can be cleaned; this one is unique in that the ink from the printed Capitol Records paper sleeve it was stored in left a superficial imprint on the record. It can easily be cleaned off (I rubbed it a little to see) but I have left the imprint in case you might like to see the effect, whether you erase it or not.
See grading codes below. See photos for label damage, markings, stickers, etc.

N (new) or M (mint): New and unplayed. NM or N- (near mint): Nearly same as M but played a few times. or showing minimal storage wear.
E+: plays almost like new, with very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
E (excellent): Still very shiny, near new looking with few or no visible signs of groove wear but may have a few inaudible scuffs.
E-: still shiny, but without the luster of a new record. Very little wear, plays distortion-free. May have a few minor scuffs.
V+ or VG+: An "average" looking 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free of distortion. Surface noise still not pronounced.
V or VG (very good): Moderate, even wear throughout but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not too intrusive.
V- or VG- = quite playable; may have some distortion in louder passages but music remains loud in most places. Surface noise from wear and scratches are below music level.
G+: gray throughout or quite scuffed but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled.
G (good): quite worn/damaged, but surface noise still below music level. Listenable.
G-: Music muffled from wear but still exceeds surface noise.
F+: Music remains audible over surface noise but listening uncomfortable.
F (fair): Surface noise is as loud as the music.
P (poor): unplayable.

Note: Some 78s look mint or near mint and may be graded so, but may play with some surface noise due to poor quality pressing material.
