Description

What a great 78 from LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS. Recorded on the always desirable GOLD STAR record label. The record # is: 662. The songJail House Blues" is on side a.) and on side b.) is: "T Model Blues". This record is in E to E+ condition... (play graded). A great play! The labels are in very nice condition, with no writing or unusual wear... they looks great. The lightest of spindle wear on the a.) side. A wonderful "well cared for" blues 78 rpm record. I have just made a major purchase of ultra rare rock, jazz & blues albums! They were from Radio Station Promotion Manager Lester "Len" Miller and are from his personal collection.

GRADING: STANDARD 78 RPM GRADING IS USED.

N- NEW MINUS: Full Original Luster. Appears Unplayed With No Signs Of Use. Highest Grade Used. Possible Slight Sleeve Or Storage Marks.

E+ EXCELLENT PLUS: Full Luster, Very Few Careful Plays. Slightest Indication Of Use Or Handling. Condition Is Just Slightly Below New Minus.

E EXCELLENT: Almost Full Luster. Mild Signs Of Careful Play But No Serious Scratches Or Scuffs. Highly Desirable Condition.

E- EXCELLENT MINUS: Some Luster Remains. Surface Shows Some Light Groove Wear, Light Scuffs And/Or Light Scratches. Still Pretty Clean. Acceptable To Most Collectors.

V+ VERY GOOD PLUS: Groove Wear, Scuffs And Scratches Are More Pronounced. Moderate Gray. Still A Decent Used Record With Moderate Surface Noise.

V VERY GOOD: Grooves Are Mostly Or Fully Gray Showing Deeper Wear. Obvious Surface Noise. Getting Rough Looking And Playing. An “Average Used 78” Is In The V To V+ Range.

V- VERY GOOD MINUS: Further Deterioration. Fully Gray With Deeper Groove Wear Causing Heavier Surface Noise.

G GOOD: Very Rough. Heavy Use. Deeply Gray. Surface Noise About Equals Music Level.

F FAIR: Really Beat. May Skip. Surface Noise Probably Exceeds Music Level.

P POOR: Barely Playable To Unplayable. Mostly Useful For The Label Or As A Filler Until A Better Copy Comes Along. Depending On The Rarity Of The Record, This Can Be An Acceptable Grade To A Serious Collector.

It's time to for this old collector to empty the vaults if you will!! I Am Selling Most Of My Sealed and Autographed Albums. Most Are From My Very Own Personal Collection Which I Have Saved and Stored Very Carefully For A Long Time. So Check Back Often As I Will Be Selling Most Of My 70's & 80"s Autographs In The Coming Months. It's All Going!
