Description

A very respectable clean play vg+ original historic blues classic single from 1955 by Windy City blues legend Muddy Waters titled Manish Boy b/w Young Fashion Ways. Many years ago I experienced the joy of hanging out in a few joints watching Muddy Waters perform and when he did Manish Boy the entire crowd became totally involved and insane. I don't think I have witnesses another performer who could captivate an audience like Muddy could. Issued on Chess Records 1602, original blue & silver label with chess pieces at top. Vinyl has some handling scuffs and some minor surface scratches, mostly on B-side, with very clean vg+ play performance, no skips and no intrusive revolutions. Label is high degree vg+ with minor wear and record will be in heavy stock storage sleeve. Guaranteed as described and winner pays shipping cost. International shipping for this item may require Priority Air Mail only, includes free insurance and tracking, withhold payment until I forward invoice.

RECORD GRADING FOR 45'S
Bargain lot items are visually graded. Individual auction records are play graded. I place emphasis on play grade, maintain the highest professional standards, do spot check play grading on all individual auction items and always provide an accurate visual grade and label appearance. I play grade on a quality system with a high end cartridge in order to maintain a strict and undisguised play grade. I always keep my grading simple and fair and will not subject my customers to a proliferation of meaningless grades. If a record plays between two grades I always apply the lesser grade, I don't create a grade in an attempt to articulate a borderline evaluation.

nm....near mint, minimal to no surface noise and showing no major signs of wear. General groove appearance is excellent to like new and record has no imperfections. I have learned from over 30 years of experience that "mint" is too strong of a grading for a used 45 record evaluation. The only records that are entitled a "mint" grade on my listings are my new unplayed and unhandled store stock items.
vg+...very good plus, showing some signs of minor wear with minimal extraneous surface noise. No major imperfections. Grooves may have minor scuffs or surface scratches. A very playable and acceptable copy.
vg....very good, somewhat worn and mishandled copy with audible extraneous surface noise. Grooves may have visual scuffs and scratches. Still a very playable copy.
I do not auction poor condition 45's with cracks, deep scratches, digs, severe edge chips, closed grooves or severely warped and I do not artificially gloss any of my records.

GUARANTEE
Retail music is my full time occupation. Your satisfaction is important to me. I guarantee everything I sell and will be cooperative and understanding towards any of my valued customers who genuinely feel I may have not maintained my grading standards, have overlooked a flaw or manufacturing defect, or have mistakenly misrepresented an item. Postage for a returned item is your responsibility and returned item must be received in same condition as originally shipped. If you are fair, courteous and reasonable with me I will be the same towards you.
