Description
ARTIST: Jimmy Johnson and His Orchestra
LABEL: Columbia 14334-D
TITLES: Chicago Blues / Mournful Tho'ts
CONDITION: E, great player, small scratchy patch on the Mournful side
DESCRIPTION: Great session with Cootie Williams on trumpet, Charlie Holmes Reeds, both Fats Waller and James P Johnson on piano, Joe Watts, sb, Perry Bradford, others. NYC, June 18, 1928
For what it's worth, I believe both the James P Johnson Mosaic set and the Frog CD remastered by John RT Davies get the speed way too fast on this. It's about 75.3 RPM with Mournful in C and Chicago Blues in Eb
78 GRADING: We use the universally recognized VJM (Vintage Jazz Mart) 78 rpm system in grading our 78s with some streamlining as noted, eliminating some of the hair splitting on records graded V- and below (G+, G, G-, F).
E+
Highest grade used. A record that might have minor handling marks but has no visible signs of wear. N, N- and E+ records will all be graded as E+.
E
Record has slight signs of handling and use but groove wear should be barely detectable and grooves should still be glossy and black.
E-
Light groove wear with grey rubbing and light circular gray grooves starting to appear, but record should still retain glossy black grooves for almost all of the surface.
V+
Grey wear, handling and groove wear more apparent, but much of the groove area will still have black.
V
Record is approaching an overall grey surface with uniform wear, but will still play well even though the level of surface noise and distortion could be distracting.
V-
Record has wear throughout, and was subject to continual playing to wring more sound out of it, so even the grey is in a more advanced state of deterioration with groove walls disappearing.
P
This grade generally indicates poor condition on a good title.
