Ah, God only knows how many years we've been trying to find a stone mint copy of this album - and we still don't have one. Which means that you are not likely to find any copy looking better than VG+ any time soon, BUT - - BUT THIS ONE IS AS NICE AS YOU ARE EVER LIKELY TO FIND. This, simply put, is one of top-5 most important, genre-defining albums in Rhythm & Blues and Soul music - and, by far - very, very far - Jackie Wilson's finest, shining, moment. And yes, folks, it comes autographed by The Man – The Black Elvis – himself!!!

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)            WE GRADE THE VINYL AS VERY GOOD+ . CAUTION: The vinyl is NOT MINT or NEAR MINT, but is nevertheless in a very nice and clean condition. There are some surface marks and abrasions, mostly light and superficial, although some may be longer than 1.1/4 inches (1 inch = 2.5 centimeters)

(b)            The record has a "deep groove" (an indent in the label about 1/2-inch from the edge of the label, which on SOME labels is associated with very early or first pressings).

(c)             Stereo copies of this album are NOT known to exist.

(d)            The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(e)             Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD++ (VG++).
