Description

• Recorded Live in Concert at Warner Music Hall Theatre in Washington, D.C. on May 10th, 1976. This is not one of Catfish's nationally produced record albums as were his others on Eastbound, Westbound and Adelphi instead this was produced under the small label "Fish Tales Music" and subsequently only regionally distributed in the Washington DC area as evidence by their special thanks to those that help specifically WHFS Radio Station in Washington DC. 
• Blues rocker Bob "Catfish" Hodge was born and raised in Detroit, and as a teen frequently snuck into Motown Records' Hitsville studio to catch sessions featuring the Four Tops, the Supremes and others. At the end of the 1960s he formed the band Catfish, debuting in 1970 with Get Down; after issuing Live Catfish a year later, Hodge mounted a solo career with 1973's Boogie Man I Gonna Get Ya, relocating to Washington D.C. and becoming a regular opening act for artists including Bonnie Raitt and Little Feat. After a series of solo LPs including 1974's Dinosaurs and Alleycats, 1975's Sop Operas and 1979's Eyewitness Blues, he toured with the Chicken Legs Band during the early 1980s, relocating to California in 1982 and later forming the Bluesbusters with onetime Little Feat guitarist Paul Barrere. *

Condition/Grading

• IMPORTANT NOTE:  Please remember that any record graded below a Mint, or a Near Mint, will obviously have some marks on the vinyl and/or jacket otherwise it too would have been graded Mint, or Near Mint. Marks on vinyl can be disturbing but on the other hand they can be non-factor. If I see any marks that may impact a listeners sound quality I will play grade the vinyl to ensure that the marks do not result in any deterioration of the sound quality. My priority, for all buyers, is a pleasant listening experience. 

• Vinyl is normally visually graded, except for above, primarily due to time constraints and the sheer volume (thousands) of records being graded. I am selling off my personal collection as this is NOT a business where I buy and sell. I use very bright lights & magnifiers to search for flaws ensuring that no over-grading occurs. The grading scale is as follows:

  Mint (M):  Still Sealed, if opened the grading should not reflect Mint.

  Near Mint (NM):   Looks as though it just came from the retail store and was opened for the very first time (i.e. nearly perfect). Shiny vinyl with no visible defects such as writing, stickers, markings on either jacket or vinyl. Near Mint records do not have to be one that has never been played because used record that have been played multiple times can also be Near Mint providing that they have been properly cared for during its' life.  

  Excellent (EX)  Looks like a Near Mint at first glance but upon thorough exam a minimal blemish or mark may be noted. As a Near Mint is in perfect condition, this grade is just a small step down in the grading scale. An jacket saw cut. corner cut or punch hole will result in the nicest looking jacket having to be downgraded to Excellent due to these flaws.

  Very Good Plus (VG+):  Shows slight signs of wear, including scuffs or light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound and minor signs of handling will fall into this category. Telltale marks around the center hole, from repeated playing may have enlarged or damaged the hole and may be visible. Light ring wear or discoloration, can be noted but should not be overwhelming. Very Good + jackets should have minor wear such as a very minor seam wear or split (less than 1"long) at one of the seams (normally the bottom seam which is most vulnerable. A Very Good + may have some jacket defacing such as cut-out markings which can be either a circular hole punch, a cut corner or a saw cut. 

• Very Good (VG):   Shows more obvious flaws than the above. They may lack the original gloss found on factory fresh records, groove wear is evident as are light scratches that may be deep enough to feel with a fingernail. The Very Good record could have minor surface noise and some scratches may be audible most likely in the intros and the empty space between songs but not at a level that would overpower the music. Minor writing, tape or sticker may exist on the jacket and/or label. These records will still remain a fine listening experience.  

• Good (G):  Good does not mean Bad and far as a listening experience it can be far from meaning so. A Good record will still play through without skipping but may have significant surface noise and groove wear but when visually graded it may look like it has the groove wear but when listening to the vinyl none may be heard. A record that may look bad could sound like an Excellent graded record. The label may be worn, there may be heavy writing. If an item that you have been looking for then still grab it on the cheap. Will/May have ring wear and/or seam splits.
