ARTIST: Muddy Waters
LABEL: Chess 1680
TITLES: "I Live The Life I Love / Evil"
CONDITION: I Live The Life I Love E / Evil E- Grading is based on the sound of the record.
DESCRIPTION: Chicago Blues from 1957. "I Live The Life I Love" Has a small blemish that tics 3 times, still shinny with no groove wear. Music plays loud with low hiss below music. Records surface has scuffs and scratches but sounds excellent. "Evil" great grooves with still some shine left. Music plays loud with low surface noise below music. No groove wear, records surface has scuffs and scratches but sounds excellent. Side A sound slightly better to me that is the reason for the "E-"
E+ Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
E Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
E- Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.
V+ 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 Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
V- 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+ Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
G Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
F Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
P Unplayable.
