Description

78 = G. Smooth, glossy, moderate wear. Has a quik skip on side 1 due to a small lite scratch. For skip, chek out 2nd AUDIO player. VPI cleaned. Muddy's first appearance on ARISTOCRAT.
Either Slim did not sign long-term contracts with record companies, or did not believe he had, because after obtaining this session for Aristocrat in September, and even getting called back for a followup in December, he would do a second one for Hy-Tone and a session for RCA Victor that same month. In any event, Slim needed accompaniment on his outing for Aristocrat, so he phoned a guitarist that he knew. Muddy Waters was driving a delivery truck for a Venetian blind company; after coming up with a creative excuse to leave work, he headed straight to Universal Recording and cut his first sides for Aristocrat.

GRADING KEY:

M: (MINT): Perfect! No visible or audible deterioration. Luster is fully intact with no paper scuffs. Labels have no sign of wear. I rarely use this grade.

M-: (MINT MINUS): Nearly perfect. Handled slightly. Playing surfaces still retain much of their original shine. Shows 90% of its original integrity.

VG+: (VERY GOOD PLUS): Slight signs of wear and use such as sleeve scuffs, lite marks, very lite scratches, which will have almost no audible or visual defect or deterioation. Shows 70% - 80% of its original integrity.

VG: (VERY GOOD): Obviously played and noticeably less than perfect. General wear, which may include lite scratches that you can feel with your finger, that may produce a short series of lite tics. Also marks, scuffing, smudges, groove wear and grayness of grooves, loss of gloss and warp which does not affect play. Shows at 50% - 60% of it's orignal integrity.

Also may include surface noise and extraneous noise, (which is inherent in the pressing of 78's) especially during soft passages and intro, but surface noise that will not be over powering. Should be a very playable, listenable and enjoyable record!

VG-: (VERY GOOD MINUS): Shows abundant signs of play. Same characteristics of a VG record but will have more surface noise. Has 30% - 40%  of it's original integrity.

G: (GOOD): Shows considerable wear and usage, grayness in grooves, significant marks and scratches. Surface noise may be prominent enough to impair enjoyment of the music.  Has 10% of it's original integrity.
