Description
Up for auction is a 1957 Rhythm & Blues R&B / Chicago Blues / vocal 45 rpm recorded by Gloria Irving on Cobra 5008.
The sides are: I Need A Man / For You And Only You.
Not much is known about Irving.
JET Magazine said she quit Wayne University (Wayne State in Detroit?) to become a blues singer. they said that once she collects $3,500 that she will go back to school for a degree in Physical Education.
She was one of the first females to get a composition from Willie Dixon. Before she landed at Cobra, she was the singer for Swinging Sax Kari's Orchestra. She recorded an "answer song" to Ruth Brown's Mama, He Treats Your Daughter Mean.
Below are the tracks recorded with NO filtering or noise reduction. You can also hear the same sides transferred with noise reduction software here.

- E = barely played, extremely close to near new condition

- G = well played, but should play pretty well, will have deeper scratches, scuff; may have some background noise, scratches, scuffs, wear
- P = well used, pretty bad condition, lots of background noise
45 RPM Grading System:
- SS (New Still Sealed) = New store stock or otherwise unopened, factory fresh product
- NM = Essentially new or near new with only one or two small insignificant visual anomalies
- E = Still a very nice record with all or nearly all of its original gloss but may have a few more light surface marks, hairlines, needle tracks or the like which won't materially effect play
- VG+ = A really nice specimen, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It may play with a few pops, but has no serious problems. Still glossy with a lot of life left in it
- VG = An acceptable, well-played record that still should sound good, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.
- G = Not actually good at all but probably will play through but with much in a way of surface noise, pops, crackles, etc. Still, will have no cracks, chips or the like
Record grades VG+. Plays all the way through with surface noise as heard above. There are light marks and scuffs...no digs or deep scratches. Please magnify pics (click on 'Actual Size') and listen to both tracks to help you decide. Dead wax matrix number etchings are handwritten style.
