Description
JOHN BRIM COMBO Strange Man/Mean Man Blues FORTUNE 801 - this is perhaps the rarest Fortune blues disc out there. Almost never comes up for sale. No idea how many copies remain in any condition. This one has only superficial marks and plays beautifully. I do not have proper 78 gear, but enjoy the samples below, played from a modern Audio Technica turntable.

GRADING:
SS (Still Sealed) - Never opened. (I do not believe in grading opened LPs or 45s as "Mint". A "Mint" record is still sealed.)
NM (Near Mint) - a near perfect, probably unplayed record. might be dusty or have a light fingerprint, but has no marks that can be seen.
NM- (Near Mint minus) - absolutely clean with at most a few very superficial marks that have no effect on playback.
VG++ - Super clean and very lightly played.
VG+ (Very Good Plus) - the record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little deterioration in sound quality.
VG (Very Good) - a well used copy. There will be obvious signs of wear and the possibility of light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages. A VG record may have very small marks that can be felt, but feelable marks will always be specifically noted in my listings)
VG- (Very Good minus) - significant wear and marks and usually quite noticeable surface noise. music still dominates over any background noise or pops.
G (good) - still a playable record without jumps or marks that stick, but a record in this condition will have significant surface noise, pops and other distractions.
SATISFACTION:
I do my best to grade accurately. If you are unhappy with any part of your transaction, please contact me before leaving feedback. I am confident that any problem can be resolved. It's my intent that buyers are happy with their purchase. Returns are accepted for a full refund, minus shipping costs.
