POPPA HOP    AKA HOP WILSON IVORY 127
MY WOMAN HAS A BLACK CAT BONE I'M A STRANGER
OUTSTANDING STEEL GUITAR BLUES FROM POPPA HOP - TEXAS, 1960
This record has been in my personal collection for many years, and is now up for AUCTION.
CONDITION: VG++  EXCELLENT COPY

This record is absolutely original, not a boot, repro or reissue.

STANDARD 45 RPM GRADING:
M-       Mint Minus (Near Mint)  Highest grade used. Has full or nearly full luster. Little or no sign of play or handling. Highly desirable condition.
VG++  Very Good Plus Plus (Excellent).   Most luster remains. Some indications of careful play. Very mild groove wear, perhaps a few very light scuffs or scratches, not felt by touch.  Very desirable condition.
VG+    Very Good Plus.   Still some decent luster. Shows moderate groove wear.  May have minor scuffs and/or scratches. Still a very nice "above average" used record, acceptable to most collectors.
VG      Very Good.    Obvious groove wear with mostly, or fully grey grooves. Scuffs and/or scratches of an "average" used record are more likely. Often plays better than it looks.
VG-     Very Good Minus. Record shows heavy use, deeper grey, more scuffs and scratches. Plays with more surface noise but should play through.
G        Good. A beat record that could easily skip, looks bad and is noisy.
