Muddy Waters - Gypsy Woman 78 RPM 10"

b/w
Little Anna Mae

Muddy's first commercial release !!! Monumental release in American music! 

Issued by Aristocrat ( 1302 )
Note: We pack 78's in oversized boxes & the record is sandwiched between cardboard padders. The record itself does not touch the outer box & is floated in packing material. 

Condition:  Using VJM Grading . ( See Below )

Sounds great on my Rega Planar 78 Turntable! 

Vinyl: V+    Some low level surface noise from playing but not abuse. Doesn't distract from a very enjoyable listen of a rare find.  Retains a fair degree of the lustre . There are some pressing divots but they do not present any tracking issues, etc. No chips or cracks.  Great copy of such a rarity. 

Most of the Aristocrat 78's I have come across have divots & pimples - not the best quality off the press so ever old, "new" stock has some degree of already pronounced surface noise.   I've had a couple of these over my years of collecting 78s & this is the best copy of this I have ever come across and kept for my collection. 

Note: I tend not to "over clean" my 78's so when this came into my possession years ago it was cleaned with a bit of Ivory soap & a beaver hair brush. I don't mind a bit of surface noise but you may be able to bump it up a grade with our own cleaning technique . Either way it is a great copy of a very tough to find 78 - especially in this shape!!!

The VJM Record Grading System.
N (78) M (LP). As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
N- (78) M- (LP). Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
E+ (78) VG+ (LP). Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
E  (78) VG (LP). Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
E- (78) VG- (LP). Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.  
V+ (78) G+ LP. V+ is an average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced. No skips or repeat grooves.
V (78) G (LP). Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
V- (78) G- (LP). Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level. 
G+ (78). Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
G (78). Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
G- (78). Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.
F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
P (78). Unplayable.
