CHICAGO BLUES 45: J.L. SMITH on A-1 DUD w/ WALTER HORTON harmonica & LITTLEJOHN
J.L. Smith: Come Dance With Me/Tears Won’t Help You Baby, A-1 Dud 4709. J.L. Smith was a West Side singer who made some little known but hard-hitting blues singles in the 1960s. The all-star blues lineup on this session: Big Walter Horton, harmonica; Johnny Littlejohn and Johnny Twist, guitars; Calvin “Fuzz” Jones, bass; Abb Locke, tenor sax; Bill Warren, drums. Horton contributes his signature licks throughout, even during the guitar solos on Tears Won't Help You Baby, staying more in the background on Come Dance With Me. VG+.

GRADING:
LPs, EPs and 45s are graded M (mint), NM (near mint), VG+, VG (very good), VG-, G+, G (good), G-, F (fair), and P (poor). A VG+ record may have some visible scuffs and light scratches and plays well with little surface noise. Scratches on records graded VG and VG- may be deep enough to feel with your fingernail, or there may be scratches throughout that cause surface noise. On records in the G+, G and G- range the level of the music is still above the surface noise caused by scuffs and scratches. Surface noise is as loud as the music on records graded F and louder than the music on P records.
Jackets graded VG+ have only slight wear; jackets graded VG are more worn but still intact unless defects are noted. G jackets show definite damage and F and P jackets are probably falling apart. Splits, markings, cut corners, and other defects will be noted.
[+ and – denote in-between grades. Grades with a slash in between indicate the condition of Side A/Side B.]
