RECORD: BROWNSVILLE BLUES: E+ Has some tiny pressing bubbles with a few hard to see micro hairline scuffs, and one stubborn finger print is otherwise super clean as shown.

LABELS: Has a manufacturing paper tear on Brownsville Label as shown both are overall very clean. Will be packed in a New Disc-O-File Outer Sleeve also shown. Any questions please message me. Thanks for looking.
(All 78's are played before listing).(See below my 78 RPM Grading Criteria) Info:
N ? As new and un-played (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be un-played).
N- Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
E+ Plays like new, with a few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
E ? Still very shiny, near new looking, with few visible signs of wear, but a few scuffs and scratches.
E- Still shiny but without the luster of a new record, may have some light scuffs/scratches and/or surface noise.
V+ An average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use have 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.
