    Cleaning out my parents home and found old 78 records. From what I've gathered, this is a very rare record. Don't know all the information, but they put out limited albums and the recording studio burnt down. Well, I will do more research and add more information.

      Walter Mitchell was born in New Orleans 1919
      blues singer harmonica player
      The record you have is made from shellac
      not vinyl it was released in 1948
      JVB :: Joseph von Battle Recording company
      was founded in 1947 and operated
      out of his record store (Joe’s record shop)
      In Detroit Michigan
      The fire you mentioned was in 1967
      and destroyed most of the original master recordings

      Oh wow Vynil, it's not vinyl; it's shellac. That just blew my mind. Well, my parents had several about 15 albums. That information is pretty interesting, thank you.

      Vynil, it's pretty dirty. How do you clean your records?

      Some people will scarf and laugh But
      Each and every new acquisition
      Of old vinyl ,
      I use warm water and Dawn liquid
      in my hand and a soft drying towel
      And very important,I go the opposite
      Direction that the stylus (needle )
      drags along the record , careful with that label
      most can take a little water
      but no scrubbing
      Rinse well and air dry
      But not on the clothesline
