COUNTRY BLUES LP: HAMMIE NIXON Tennessee Blues Vol 3 ALBATROS Sleepy John Estes
Albatros VPA 8277 stereo, from Italy. Hammie Nixon, best known as Sleepy John Estes’ harmonica-playing partner, sings and plays guitar, harmonica and kazoo on this LP recorded at the homes of Sleepy John, Furry Lewis, John “Memphis Piano Red” Williams and Mose Vinson. Estes, Williams, Vinson and the Italian field recordists, Gianni Marcucci and Lucio Maniscalchi, join Hammie on various tracks. Record is VG+ to NM- with some handling wear. Jacket is in shrinkwrap which is tight enough to cause the lightweight Italian jacket to become a little wavy. Edge and corners show minor wear.
I will include a Xeroxed copy of the original 18-page booklet that came with LP.

GRADING: LPs, EPs and 45s are graded M (mint), NM (near mint), VG+, VG (very good), VG-, G+, G (good), G-, F (fair), and P (poor).
A VG+ record may have some visible scuffs and light scratches and plays well with little surface noise. Scratches on records graded VG and VG- may be deep enough to feel with your fingernail, or there may be scuffs or scratches throughout that cause surface noise. On records in the G+, G and G- range the level of the music is still above the surface noise caused by scuffs and scratches. Surface noise is as loud as the music on records graded F and louder than the music on P records. P records are likely to be unplayable.
[+ and - denote in-between grades. Grades with a slash in between indicate the condition of Side A/Side B.]
Jackets graded VG+ have only slight wear; jackets graded VG are more worn but still intact unless defects are noted. G jackets show definite damage and F and P jackets are probably falling apart. Splits, markings, cut corners, and other defects will be noted.
