TITLES:            A) CANDY MAN BLUES            B) STACK O'LEE BLUES
Amazing blues releases by songster John Hurt on a hard to find Okeh 78 RPM recording from his 1928 session.
Record has some light and moderate scufffs and scratches.  Candy Man side has two small rim chips which touch no grooves.  Candy Man side looks and plays V- while the Stack O'Lee side looks and plays better at V.  No issues. No problems.
Comes in repro OK Electric sleeve which grades V+.

VJM 78 RECORD GRADING System:

New / Excellent / Very Good / Good / Fair / Poor

- - - - -

N . As NEW and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).

N- . NEW MINUS, nearly mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.

E+ . EXCELLENT PLUS, plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.

E . EXCELLENT, still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.

E- . EXCELLENT MINUS, still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.

V+ . VERY GOOD PLUS, 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.

V . VERY GOOD, moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.

V- . VERY GOOD MINUS, 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+ . GOOD PLUS, grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.

G . GOOD, quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.

G- . GOOD MINUS, music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.

F . FAIR, most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.

P . POOR, unplayable.
