Description
Welcome to Monroe Rare Records! Every record I sell comes directly from my father’s collection (Jay Monroe Sr.) My father was obsessed with music from the 50’s and 60’s and was even the lead singer in his own band. He started collecting as a kid then at 17 he worked for Savoy records in Newark NJ sweeping floors. He continued collecting records until his passing at age 74. The collection he left behind is extremely large and very well cared for. I am not a record flipper, I only sell records from my fathers collection and he spent the majority of his life collecting the best records Labels runs were completed (Ace, Aladdin, Brunswick, Checker, Chance, Duke, Excello, Federal, Groove, Hollywood, Imperial, JAX, King, Modern, Meteor, Parrot, Phillips, RCA, RPM, States, Starday, Sun which he was writing a book about as it was one of his favorite labels, and Trumpet etc.) including smaller more obscure labels. He collected Blues, R&B, Doo-Wop, Soul and Rockabilly. Represented are vinyl 45’s shellac with some flexi vinyl 78’s, EP’s and LP’s. Test pressings both released and unreleased will be listed as well. I use the Goldmine grading system with most of the VG+ records being VG++ (M- to most collectors) as I grade conservatively. If a record is listed as M- it will look and play as though it was pressed yesterday. The records I list are all original with matrix #’s provided and a 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE! Thank you for looking and please feel free to check out other listings coming out every week. I have been doing this for 4 years and will be doing it for another 4 at least.
Description: Iconic 45 on Chess by The Wolf Man!
Artist: Howlin’ Wolf
Label:Chess
Title: Smoke Stack Lightning/You Can’t Be Beat
Condition: VG++
US Postage: USPS Standard Flat rate $5
International: Please inquire as I’ve had several very rare and expensive records lost using the eBay Hub. I ship all over the world, prices vary.
GRADING SYSTEM:
M- (basically flawless),
VG++ (Just short of M- for atheistic reasons like light ring wear, still full blazing gloss and plays M-),
VG+ (A clean collectible record with great sound and fidelity),
VG (An average record you’ll see out there, still plays well all the way through),
VG- (scuffs around, some background noise but still enjoyable to listen to),
G+ (same as VG- but with a
scratch you can feel with your nail and/or serious label damage but doesn’t skip. I won’t list records that skip)
