Description

Sought after blues record on Chess 1618. Howlin' Wolf "Smoke Stack Lightning". Obtained from an estate of a juke box operator. A-side gray from lots of play but no scratches or other issues. Shiny B side looks barely played. No skipping, No needle digs, No chips, No warp. Good labels. A-side music and vocals are strong and plays with minimal noise. Still a great looking and sounding record that doesn't turn up often! Great fill copy till you stumble into that elusive E copy! Examine pictures for labels. SHIPS FREE BY MEDIA MAIL. PLEASE EXPRESS ANY CONCERNS BEFORE PURCHASING. I GRADE ACCORDING TO MY SCALE BELOW. EXAMINE PICTURES CAREFULLY AS THEY ARE PART OF DESCRIPTION.

All my 78's are play graded on a vintage Newcomb tube phono with 1 mil stylus and no filters. May sound differently on other equipment. All 78's will be sandwiched between 6 layers of cardboard, bubble wrapped and placed in a new 12 x 12 x 6"  box with peanuts and shipped by Media Mail. I will combine. I have sold many, many records over the past few years and have shipped all over the world with no problems. Check my feedback and bid with confidence. INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS WELCOME - PLEASE EMAIL FOR SHIPPING QUOTE. Check out my others!

Thanks and God bless!

My Grading scale:

E (78)
Very shiny, new looking, with no visible signs of wear. I seldom grade any at this level.

E- (78)

Shiny and without wear but may have a light mark or two. Is typically the top of my scale.

VG+ (78)
Finish somewhat dulled. Mild to moderate surface wear but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced.

VG (78)
What I call an average 78. Moderate, even wear and graying throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches more audible but not intrusive.

VG- (78)
Quite playable still, but has heavier greying and surface wear and some heavier scratches. Some distortion. Music still listenable above noise level.

POOR - SELF EXPLANATORY. I would only list one in this condition if it is very, very rare.
