UK release
Impressive UK original 12" vinyl release of this great blues recording from 1958 in great condition.
Vinyl is in Excellent+/NM condition and looks hardly played. This heavyweight piece of vinyl still carries a beautiful sheen. The original deep blue deep groove labels are pristine and there is no spindle wear, surface wear, dirt or warps. There is some sweating marks from the poly sleeve but these are inaudible. A handsome piece of vintage vinyl !
The sleeve is graded VG++/Excellent. Original thick US card style, part laminated, it is clean throughout with strong spine and readable text. Minor age wear to the front of the sleeve. Good whiteness on the back with a penned correction on the line ups. Nice.
A genuine and collectable blues LP from yester-year in general Excellent+ condition.
Please check my other auctions for many more classic original UK and US Jazz and Blues records from a large and well looked after collection.
I have used photographs and description to show the record condition to the best of my ability - Hoever please contact me with any questions that you may have
Records will be mailed in a strong corrugated cardboard cruciform style mailer.
I use the UK record collector grading guide as detailed below.
Records are visually graded unless stated as play graded
Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
As well as the above grades, Near Mint is often used as well; this is really for a record that appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner and is assumed to have been played by them. For records which appear to fall between the accepted grades, + and - are also often added to the grading.
