ROBERT RICHARD “CADILLAC WOMAN” b/w JOSEPH VON BATTLE “LOOKING FOR MY WOMAN”
J-V-B 75828
Both legendary and remarkable. Early, archaic Detroit Blues from J-V-B Records. The owner Joseph Von Battle sings on one side. Robert Richard sings and plays harp on the top-side with Walter Mitchell on second harmonica and Boogie Woogie Red On Piano.
RARITY: POPSIKE indicates a sale of a very used copy in 2017 for $1,075. This copy is PRIME. ROCKIN’ RECORDS states a value of $4,000 to $5,000 with only five copies known. It is listed under Joseph Von Battle.
This record has been sitting safely in my collection for many years, and is now for AUCTION. Note that his 78 on KING is also listed.
So, save your pounds, marks, francs, schillings, euros, shekels, pesos, yen, even gold and silver because great BLUES, R&B and DOO WOP are forthcoming from THE RALPH SHURLEY COLLECTION.
Put me on your favorites.

CONDITION: E- Strong E- copy with good gloss remaining, almost EE-.

Standard 78 Grading:
N-   NEW MINUS - Highest grade used. Appears unplayed. Full luster. Slight signs of handling
E+   EXCELLENT PLUS - Full luster remains. Very few careful plays. Slightest indications of use or handling.
E    EXCELLENT - Almost full luster. Mild signs of play,  but no serious wear, scratches or scuffs.
E-  EXCELLENT MINUS - Some luster remains,  but record has some apparent wear, scuffs and / or scratches. Still a pretty nice 78, acceptable to most collectors.
V+  VERY GOOD PLUS - Record has considerable wear, scuff and / or scratches. Still plays pretty well but is clearly a used record. An AVERAGE USED 78 is in the V to V+ range.
V   VERY GOOD - Mostly or fully gray from use. Obvious surface noise but probably still plays pretty well. Scuffing and / or scratches more prominent.
V-  VERY GOOD MINUS - Further deterioration. Fully gray with deeper wear and heavy surface noise.
G   GOOD - Very rough, deeply gray, surface noise about equal to music.
F   FAIR - Really beat 78 that may skip. Surface noise exceeds music.

Shipping Details:  78s require special attention. Deep, oversized boxes are used. The 78s are sandwiched between at least four cardboard filler pads (slats) and packed with styrofoam peanuts and/or bubble wrap for safe arrival. I do not use LP mailers or 10 inch pizza box mailers.
Postage: USA. This expensive record must ship priority mail, insured. $22.00
Postage International: International First Class is $27.00. Canada is $20.00 I cannot declare lower values for customs.  
Background:  I have been a collector and occasional seller since 1967. You can buy with confidence because I am an experienced grader and packer.
Guaranty:  Records are fully guaranteed. Return within 30 days for full refund if not satisfied. Buyer pays return postage. There has been very little loss, breakage or dissatisfaction over the years. 
Watch for future rare and great Blues, R&B, Doo-Wop and Rock & Roll 45s and 78s.
