RARE CHICAGO MAXWELL ST. BLUES 45: John Henry Davis Jr./Claude Johnson CJ-1976
This 45 (Maxwell St. Records CJ-1976) features former Maxwell Street regular John Henry Davis Jr. (whose group he called the Clarksdale Mississippi Blues Band) and pianist Claude Johnson, who had a few 45s on other small labels. It is honestly a very disjointed musical affair with the musicians (guitar, bass, drums and piano) rarely playing the same chord changes or same tempos. Johnson sings on Side A, "West Coast Blues," and the flip is an instrumental, "West Coast Jump." This 45 was apparently the only release on Maxwell St. Records. Near mint minus.

GRADING:
LPs, 45s, and EPs are graded M (mint), NM (near mint), VG+, VG (very good), VG-, G+, G (good), G-, F (fair), and P (poor). A NM record will show no more than slight handling wear. A VG+ record may have some visible scuffs and light scratches and plays well with little surface noise. Some scratches on records graded VG, VG-, and below may be deep enough to feel with your fingernail, or there may be scratches or groove wear throughout that cause surface noise, but the record still plays well. On records in the G+, G and G- range the level of the music is still above the surface noise caused by scuffs, scratches and groove wear. Surface noise may be as loud as the music on records graded F and louder than the music on P records.
P records are likely to be unplayable. Picture sleeves and EP 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.
