Description
PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER). OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.
OFF-THE-CHARTS-RARE soul blues from right here in the Windy City, I assume, from 196?/197? on the Almar label (about whom I can find absolutely nothing) with a cover of Bobby Bland's If You Read My Mind on the B-side!!! Betty Bibbs was a Chicago gal so I'm guessing the label was based here as well but unfortunately I can neither confirm nor deny it. She had a few other 45s but never cobbled together a full-length LP. This one is so rare it doesn't even show up on Shazam. Not even a single entry in the massive, sprawling Discogs database whatsoever. The sole Google hit is a mention on the venerable 45cat site but without even a photo of the label. Supremely rare. Vinyl is G visually but plays with no skips or sticking. Check out the sound clips below.
I USE GOLDMINE GRADING: MINT (SEALED)
NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++: VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE
VG+: AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG: STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS
GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR: FILLER COPY ONLY. LOTS OF SCRATCHES
