ELMORE JAMES / JOHN BRIM - TOUGH
BLUE HORIZON LABEL 1968 FIRST & ONLY UK MONO PRESSING WITH ERNEST J DAY FRONT LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
7 - 63204
Released in 1968 on the BLUE HORIZON label, I am offering today this original and very rare first UK MONO pressing of this classic blues album from the late ELMORE JAMES & JOHN BRIM which is titled "TOUGH". The album contains a brilliant version of ICE CREAM MAN by John Brim, in fact every track is a winner.
The album comes complete with Ernest J Day front laminated single sleeve which is in clean excellent condition with fully legible spine and no unwanted writing or stickers etc. Usually when you see these sleeves they are very worn but not this one, This is a nice example.
I have just played this through for these listing purposes and I am pleased to say that it plays well with absolutely no sticks or skips etc and was a very enjoyable listen.
A BLUES MASTERPIECE THAT RARELY TURNS UP FOR SALE
The VINYL, The vinyl visually looks in barely played condition. Audibly, it plays nicely with absolutely no nasty sticks or skips etc but there was some light crackle to be heard which may disperse with a good clean.
The SLEEVE, The Ernest J Day front laminated sleeve is one of the best sleeves I have seen. It is in clean excellent condition with no stickers or unwanted writing etc.
The LABELS, The first issue Blue Horizon labels are extremely clean, showing no spindle traces but show some age spotting. Needless to say they are free from unwanted writing or stickers etc.
The INNER, The generic white inner is clean and free from unwanted writing etc.
I try to be accurate in my grading as I know what its like to buy miss graded items but won't insult you by writing song lyrics etc. If you feel I have not described this correctly I am happy to refund you providing I receive the item back in the same condition as it leaves me, But I can only refund one lot of postage,
