$

60

I am parting with some of my treasured LPs.  Here's a ORIGINAL 1964 US MONO PRESSING from Big Joe Williams. A great country blues LP that's hard to come by. This is on the Testament Label, 2205 Released in 64, there was a quick second pressing from the same year. Second press labels are grooved, tan, "boxed" with 577 Levering Avenue - Los Angeles, Calif. 90024 address
  This copy is in great condition.  It is a copy that is clean but has it's moments with low background sound that is not overwhelming to the music. The seams, spine are perfect.  The cover front and back are in great/solid condition. It has some color toning discoloration around the edges.  There is a sticker on the back that looks to be something from Rolling Stone, but I'm not sure what it is.  The vinyl looks clean and with a beautiful gloss. The Labels are also great with no spindle wear. Finding these early blues LP's in condition like this is a find.   COVER - EX VINYL - VG+

I love original pressings because I feel every LP is of it's time and place. The vinyl, and record pressings are all from that moment in time, and no re-pressing or re-mastering will ever make the sound better for me.  PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER LPS FOR SALE NOW ON EBAY.  I AM POSTING SOME VERY COOL RECORDS.
