Magic Sam Freddie King Willie Dixon and More on this 1958 Chicago Rare 78

Artistic 1502 C 1048-49, 78rpm

 LISTEN AT THE LINK BELOW!  - This is low quality but you can hear the noise level compared to the music just an open air mic run into my mic input on my laptop, the record player is an Audiotronics 304A player

Side A:  ROLL YOUR MONEY MAKER – V+ to E- .. great shine, some scratches and scuffs but pretty much inaudible. Plays E-, light background noise, STRONG music.  Great side all full up of blues masters.

Side B:  CALL ME IF YOU NEED ME – looks V+ or better as far as not many scratches or rubs, but it’s either got wet or was damaged by the same needle that dragged across the label on Side (pictured). It’s tough to tell whats wrong but it plays with a solid amount of noise throughout, approaching equal to the music at times.  Might even be something that will clean up.  Don’t know.Not really any skips or pops to be noted, but consistently noisy. If you dont mind the noise, its great low down late night Chicago Blues side here with some rapid fire guitar.

I like the VJM grading system for 78 RPM records:

• N. As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
• N-. Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
• E+. Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
• E . Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
• E-. Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.
• V+. An average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced
• V. Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
• V-. Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level.
• G+. Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
• G. Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
• G-. Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.
• F. Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
• P. Unplayable.
