Description
Part of my father’s collection, Jay Monroe sr. the record has been extremely well cared for and stored properly. He collected records for over 50 years amassing thousands of records on labels such as Sun, Chess, Checker, Duke, Excello, Imperial, Meteor and RPM to name a few. As well as obscure labels and all pre and post war genres. His focus was 50’s blues/RnB and Soul but extended into Country, Gospel, Vocal and Jazz. I am his son and I do not collect records nor do I “flip” records found at yard sales etc. I am auctioning these records, his life’s work to those who will hopefully appreciate them. Welcome to Monroe Rare Records, we’re a little different!
Record Details and Description: Original 1954 in great condition.
ARTIST: JOHN LEE HOOKER
TITLE: JUMP ME & I WONDER LITTLE DARLING
LABEL: MODERN
EDITION: ORIGINAL PRESSING
GRADE:VG+(+) This record misses M- because of a bubble at the very edge of the record visible in last picture. I played it three times and didn’t even hear a click. But it’s there non-the-less, apologies for the reflection of the overhead light.

If you use Popsike etc for reference make sure you read the listings for condition, zoom in on the record for visual confirmation of condition and view the price history. The latest one that sold does not necessarily set the bar. And there is a night and day difference between VG- and M-.
All records are play tested on an AT LP-120xBT with upgraded stylus, one for 45/33’s “ML” and an “SP” for 78’s. I try to take very detailed pictures with bright lighting and zero filters but it’s still a work in progress.
PLEASE NOTE: no matter how clean the vinyl is, these are 60+ year-old records. They may play with some soft surface noise. Buy with this in mind.
Grading Scale-
(M-) My highest grade, a gem quality disc with like new gloss. Record was only played a handful of times, will show marks made by 50’s paper sleeve removal and possibly the beginning of a ring on label. Some labels were more prone to this than others. I do not use “Mint” for 60+ year old records. I also rarely use the M- grade unless it has a single, inaudible flaw. This is a top collector piece.
(VG+) Can occasionally be “strong VG+ or VG++” in certain instances. A very nice, above average record. Will show signs of use such as minor paper sleeve scuffs and/or ring wear. A very clean, above average record also very collectible. Vinyl retains the majority, if not all of its original gloss and playback is excellent.
(VG) Vinyl displays more scuffs but gloss is still present. Playback still has nice fidelity. Eyelash sleeve scuffing around most of the surface. There may be some very light surface noise and/or a tick or very slight warp (should be identified in description) but plays all the way through without skips.
(VG-) Vinyl has many more scuffs and some scratches (will be noted in description) but most will still have gloss left, others may not so refer to pictures. Many of these often play quite well and make acceptable options, until a better one comes along. After test playing, I will note any specific issue. If not noted, disc may playback with some minor surface noise and/or ticks
(G+) Close to the same as a VG-, the playback far surpasses its looks.
(G & G-) I do not sell these grade records online.
