Dipper Mouth Blues / Where Did You Stay Last Night      

 Both Sides great shine and play great.
Very light wear, and some discoloration of grooves that doesn't affect play.   Side B shows more of it and plays better.
Little bit noise each start. Side A starts with a little noise and quickly improves, has a very light background solid E- at least. Side B starts with slight noise and improves to E and E+.  For sure a very nice listening copy.
