Description
Have you ever fantasized about where you would go if you could go back in time to a particular musical event? In listening to this album I figured out what one of those events would be for me. It would be Big Bill’s Copa Cabana the night this concert was recorded. I don’t know what year this might have been, though I know it was in the very early 60’s. But to be in an intimate setting with Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Sonny Boy Williamson, Willie Dixon, Otis Spann, and Howlin’ Wolf all performing on stage together as one blues band… well, that would be historic and completely captivating and unforgettable. This has arguably got to be the greatest blues super group ever on one stage and recorded together. This recording captures that moment, and it is spectacular. Each of the performers gets his turn at the microphone, and not one of them wants to disappoint the others. And they all get to display their incredible instrumental talents as well. This is a one-of-a-kind historic recording. It was released on Chess in 1969, number LPS 1533. It is a reissue of the album originally released on Argo in 1964. The vinyl is in beautiful condition with its bright original luster and just a couple of very light surface scratches that do not impact play. It plays with almost no background noise. The vinyl grades VG+. The album cover shows no ring wear and just very light corner wear. All seams are clean, sharp, tight, and intact. There is a small bullet hole near the center of the cover that also pierces the label on the vinyl. The cover grades VG+.

Grading Information
I always clean and then listen to every record I list on eBay. I do this to make sure I can give as accurate a description of each record as possible. I will do both a visual check and an audio check. I absolutely attempt to give as objective a grading as I can. I don’t ever want you to be disappointed in the quality of the album you receive. My promise is that I will never put up for auction any album that I would not be proud to play for others on my own turntable.I only use four grades in my grading: NM, VG+, VG, and G. The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition. My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve. The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects. It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static. On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album. Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading. Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there. That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen. In this case the vinyl will be graded VG. Very occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.
Shipping Information – Combined Shipping
Shipping is $4.00 in the continental U.S. In addition, I will happily combine records from multiple auctions to reduce total shipping cost. In fact, I welcome it! Shipping will be $4.00 in the U.S regardless of the number of auctions won in any 5-day period.Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates. Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. Canada shipping rates have gone up dramatically. The first album will be shipped for $16. Additional albums will be shipped for $4 per album, with up to five albums able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping. At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost.
The Canada cost determination also applies for all other International shipping, except that the first album is shipped for $21 and each subsequent is just an additional $5.00.
All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening. The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve. I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments. If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day. Payment by Paypal is preferred.
Thank you for looking and please contact me with any questions.
