Description
Hi All, and welcome to the next phase in the thinning out of my boy’s stuff. This time around you are invited to bid on a beautiful Blue Horizon Album:
Title: Mean Ole Frisco by Arthur Big Boy Crudup
Cat No: 7 - 63855
Issue: Original 1st issue on the fabulous BLUE HORIZON Label - issued in 1970
Vinyl Condition Visual: Just Ex+ in every regard - the vinyl is outstanding and has retained its deep shine and lustre and has no unsightly marks or notable scratches - only the minimum of normal wear from removing it from the inner sleeve is just evident, this is very much a cherished album that I have owned for the past 20 odd years and it is conservatively graded as EX strictly iaw RRPG.
Playback Condition: A joy to listen to - Ex playback throughout. Almost silent run-ins/outs to both sides, only very low level static present in places, but I hasten to add this really is minimal. No skips, jumps or other notable interference to report at all. Every song is delivered clear and crsip, just fab.
Label Condition: Just check the photos, the labels are superb, clean and unmarked. Ex+ Condition. You would be pushed to find a better example.
Cover Front: This is a beautiful example of this delicate unlaminated front cover and you would be pushed to find a better one; essentially you would need to locate a minter to beat this. Very early stages of minor rubbing to the front is just starting to show; but the cover is clean with no marks or blemishes at all.
Cover Back: Stunning, pritine silver/grey rear cover with no marks, doodles or blemishes at all to report. Absolutely superb and a very rare treat for such covers.
Spine: A beauty, it has retained its squared off edges and all text is fully legible - Ex.
Corners: Ever so slightly bumped at the corners but nothing that distracts from the sheer fab condition of this classic and scarce album.
Summary:
Stunning album in overall Ex+ condition - If you collect this great label I recommend this as an upgrade to most copies, it truly is a keeper. You don’t need me to tell you of the current and emerging interest in vinyl ( I don’t think it ever really went away to be honest) and as such the good stuff, such as this label, is getting more and more difficult to find. So if good Blues is your bag, here’s your chance to grab a very decent copy of a very good and scarce album. If you’re not delighted with it and you disagree with my description please return it to me for a no quibble reimbursement of your money. I can’t be fairer than that. Good Luck.
Mama, I'm long gone!
