THIS IS A TRULY RARE FIND.

Muddy Waters entered the studio in February 1950 to clean up after some moonlighting. He had been involved as a sideman for a session recorded in late January by Monroe Passis and George and Ernie Leaner for their Parkway label. The sessions used his working band with Jimmy Rogers on guitar, Little Walter on harmonica, and Baby Face Leroy Foster on drums; Walter had not recorded with him before. (At the time the band was working the Dew Drop Inn; Muddy filed another indefinite contract with the establishment on January 19). The eight sides released under Baby Face Leroy Foster and Little Walter's names included the extraordinary blues classic, "Rollin' and Tumblin'," which took up both sides of a 78. Though the piece was credited to the Baby Face Leroy Trio, Muddy Waters' guitar could be heard prominently, he was given composer credit, and his voice jumped right out of the primally moaning ensemble. Leonard Chess was not pleased, resolving to kill sales on the Parkway single by releasing a rival vesion. Whatever the motive behind it, the Aristocrat session, which would be the last to use only Big Crawford's bass for accompaniment, was superb. It produced a new two-part "Rollin' and Tumblin'," released on Aristocrat 1412. For the second part, Muddy recycled lyrics from two 1948 sides that Aristocrat had left in the vault: "Kind Hearted Woman" and "Down South Blues." "Rollin' Stone" (on which Muddy starkly performed solo; it would later be the inspiration for a certain English rock group) and "Walkin' Blues" (which harks back to Robert Johnson and Son House) would be paired for Waters' first release on Chess.

ARTIST: (SEE PHOTOS) MUDDY WATERS

SONGS: ROLLIN' AND TUMBLIN'

LABEL: ARISTOCRAT 412

CONDITION: NM- WITH TWO VERRRY SLIGHT HAIRLINE STRESS MARKS, ONE ON EACH SIDE (NOT IN THE SAME PLACE). I TRIED TO GET THE BEST PHOTO I COULD, BUT ONLY MANAGED TO CAPTURE SIDE 1. THE ONE ON SIDE TWO IS SLIGHTER. THESE STRESS LINES ARE NOT THROUGH, AND WHEN I DO THE "THUMP" TEST THERE IS CERTAINLY NO SIGN OF CRACKING. THIS RECORD IS FLAT AND PRISTINE WITH THE SLIGHT DISCOLORATIONS FROM THE PAPER SLEEVE. THIS RECORD HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED (BY ME), AND I'M NOT SURE IF IT HAS EVER BEEN PLAYED.

All 78's will be sent out with insurance, no exceptions.

RECORD GRADING POLICY

Near Mint (NM): A nearly perfect record. There may be one or two small inaudible defects. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other sights of slight handling. An LP jacket should have no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar defect. No cut-out holes, either.

Near Mint Minus (NM-): A record that should play mint but has a few slight visible marks. The album will have as much luster as an NM, there just may be some superficial scuffs from the sleeve or very light hairlines that shouldn't be audible. An NM- album cover subjectively fits somewhere in between VG+ and NM.

Very Good Plus (VG+): A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don t significantly affect play. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam-split. An LP jacket may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.

Very Good (VG): Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song s intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, just two or three of them.

Good (G), Good Plus (G+): Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play though without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear. A jacket or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the subject.

Poor (P), Fair (F): Below good. imperfections will be described.
