BO DIDDLEY
Self-titled debut album
Chess Records, 1958
LP-1431 / LP 1431
CH-LP-1431
Bo Diddley's first long-play record from 1958: Chess Records LP 1431, their seventh LP.
Unbelievable condition. Excellent all around. I've owned and enjoyed this for many years. It plays without a hitch, and you will not find a cleaner copy, inside or out.Please read on...
The same pair of run-outs, cited below, have label variants. The following catalog identifiers are present on this copy:
"CHESS LP 1431" on jacket front at top left.
"LP-1431" on the spine at top and bottom.
"CHESS-LP-1431" on jacket back at top right and also vertically along the left side near top and bottom.
"CH-LP-1431" at the bottom of both labels in narrow font.
Universal numbers "8761" and "8762" on the labels to the right of the spindle hole, and etched into parts of the matrix codes of Sides 1 and 2 respectively.
Jacket: Completely glossy tip-on jacket. Zero seam splitting. Zero ring-wear. No softened or bent corners. Very light aging on the reverse side just at the pocket edge (pictured). A ballpoint name has been erased. A small blister was at one time in the adhesive layer on the front between paper and cardboard, left of Bo's bicep; it's hard to spot without a glare, but try to zoom in. The original Apex Department Store's sales sticker is on the back: $2.35.
Vinyl: there's a radial scuff on Side 2, too shallow to contribute noise during playback. The labels have no damage nor writing, and only a few spindle marks. The spindle hole itself is without wear or tear. There are no firelog pops, no skips, no hissing. It's a superb record to put on the system. You'll easily find yourself in the soundscape of the mono recording.
