What a hard to find 78 from MUDDY WATERS. On the ARISTOCRAT Label... the record # is: 406. The song "Screaming And Crying" is on side a. On side b. is: "Where's My Woman Been". This record is in V to V+ condition... (play graded)! This is early blues heaven! The record plays through with no skipping but has background noise... certainly played a lot but it still smokes! The labels are in very nice condition, with no writing or stickers. What a great classic 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.

McKinley Morganfield (born April 4, 1913, Issaquena County, Mississippi; died April 30, 1983, Westmont, Illinois), better known as Muddy Waters, was an American blues musician and is generally considered "the Father of Chicago blues". He is also the actual father of blues musicians Big Bill Morganfield and Larry 'Muddy Junior' Williams.

Considered one of the greatest bluesmen of all time, Muddy Waters was a huge inspiration for the British beat explosion in the 1960s and considered by many to be one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century.

In 2004 Waters was ranked #17 in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
