Description
Part of my father’s collection, Jay Monroe sr. the record has been extremely well cared for and stored properly. He collected records for over 50 years amassing tens of thousands of records on all the major labels like Sun, Ace, Chess, Checker, Duke, Excello, Imperial, Meteor and Modern, to name a few. As well as obscure labels and all pre and post war genres. His focus was 50’s blues/RnB and Soul but extended into Country, Gospel, Jazz etc which includes some of the rarest 45’s & 78’s and EP &LP’s in the world . I have an emotional connection to these records which is why I am listing them online and selling them at shows myself, not handing over his life’s work to someone else for .10 cents on the dollar. That is Monroe Rare Records and when they are gone we’re closed for good.
This 45 has a scratch on the B-side as seen in the pictures. It ticks 4 times on play. There is a refection of light at the bottom of the B-side from background light, it is not a scuff. Plays well for a VG-. Tough to find record.

All records are play tested on an AT-120x with upgraded stylus, one for 45/33’s “ML” and an “SP” for 78’s. I will also take very detailed pictures with bright lighting and zero filters. Most of the time my pictures will show the grade and description themselves.
Grading Scale-
(M-) My highest grade, a gem quality like new disc with full blazing gloss. Record was only played a handful of times, will show marks made by 50’s paper sleeve removal and possibly the beginning of a ring on label. Some labels were more prone to this than others. Record was properly cleaned and stored. I do not use “Mint” for 60+ year old records. A M- grade is a top collector piece.
(VG+) Can occasionally be “strong VG+” in certain instances. A very nice, above average record. Will show signs of use such as eyelash paper sleeve scuffs and/or ring wear. A very nice above average record. Vinyl retains the majority, if not all of its original gloss and playback is excellent. A collectable record.
(VG) Vinyl displays more scuffs but gloss is still present. Playback still has nice fidelity. Eyelash sleeve scuffing around most of the surface. There may be some very light surface noise and/or a tick or very slight warp (should be identified in description) but plays all the way through without skips.
(VG-) Vinyl has many more scuffs and some scratches (will be noted in description) but most will still have gloss left, others may not so refer to pictures. Many of these often play quite well and make acceptable options, until a better one comes along. After test playing, I will note any specific issue. If not noted, disc may playback with some minor surface noise and/or ticks
(G+) Close to the same as a VG-, the playback far surpasses its looks.
(G & G-) I do not sell these grade records online.
