Description

What a mega rare OTIS RUSH blues 78 recorded in Chicago in 1956. On the "hard to find" COBRA Record label! This label from Chicago closed just a few years after opening. This is the very first record Otis ever recorded for the Cobra Record Company. The record # is: 5000 and features the Willie Dixon song "I Can't Quit You Baby" (which was later covered by LED ZEPPELIN) is on Side A. and Side B. is: "Sit Down Baby". The record looks to be in just exceptional condition... wonderful! I would grade this at V to V+. A partial gloss finish is still evident! The labels are in wonderful condition, with no writing or heavy wear. It has the original store sticker name and address which could be easily removed. I left it... it certainly adds a bit of history to the record. I have just made a major purchase of ultra rare rock, jazz & blues albums! They were from Radio Station Promotion Manager Lester "Len" Miller and are from his personal collection.

GRADING: STANDARD 78 RPM GRADING IS USED.

N- NEW MINUS: Full Original Luster. Appears Unplayed With No Signs Of Use. Highest Grade Used. Possible Slight Sleeve Or Storage Marks.

E+ EXCELLENT PLUS: Full Luster, Very Few Careful Plays. Slightest Indication Of Use Or Handling. Condition Is Just Slightly Below New Minus.

E EXCELLENT: Almost Full Luster. Mild Signs Of Careful Play But No Serious Scratches Or Scuffs. Highly Desirable Condition.

E- EXCELLENT MINUS: Some Luster Remains. Surface Shows Some Light Groove Wear, Light Scuffs And/Or Light Scratches. Still Pretty Clean. Acceptable To Most Collectors.

V+ VERY GOOD PLUS: Groove Wear, Scuffs And Scratches Are More Pronounced. Moderate Gray. Still A Decent Used Record With Moderate Surface Noise.

V VERY GOOD: Grooves Are Mostly Or Fully Gray Showing Deeper Wear. Obvious Surface Noise. Getting Rough Looking And Playing. An “Average Used 78” Is In The V To V+ Range.

V- VERY GOOD MINUS: Further Deterioration. Fully Gray With Deeper Groove Wear Causing Heavier Surface Noise.

G GOOD: Very Rough. Heavy Use. Deeply Gray. Surface Noise About Equals Music Level.

F FAIR: Really Beat. May Skip. Surface Noise Probably Exceeds Music Level.

P POOR: Barely Playable To Unplayable. Mostly Useful For The Label Or As A Filler Until A Better Copy Comes Along. Depending On The Rarity Of The Record, This Can Be An Acceptable Grade To A Serious Collector.

WHAT A RARE AND HARD TO FIND RECORD FROM OTIS RUSH! BELIEVE ME... YOU WILL WANT THIS FOR YOUR COLLECTION!

It's time to for this old collector to empty the vaults if you will!! I Am Selling Most Of My Sealed and Autographed Albums. Most Are From My Very Own Personal Collection Which I Have Saved and Stored Very Carefully For A Long Time. So Check Back Often As I Will Be Selling Most Of My 70's & 80"s Autographs In The Coming Months. It's All Going!

What A Great Addition To Any Serious "Classic Rock" Collection.
