Thank you for looking at my listing

If you plan on bidding please read my description below regarding shipping options and cost prior to bidding.

This record is from my personal collection

This listing is for a very rare original blues LP from 1962 featuring one of the blues greatest artists, MUDDY WATERS.

MUDDY WATERS - "At Newport 1960" - Original 1962 Blue Label with Silver Print, Chess Records Mono LP 1449

Recorded in 1960 at the Newport Jazz Festival, Newport R.I. and featuring many blues greats such as Muddy Waters, vocals and guitar; James Cotton, harmonica;  Tat Harris, guitar; Otis Spann, piano; Andrew Steveson, bass;  Francis Clay, drums.

Original Blue Label with Silver Print, matte (not glossy) Chess Label Mono.  As I'm sure most bidders will know, Chess released the Blue Label at the same time as they released the Black Label therefore this is an Original Pressing (This is an Original Pressing, not a newer release).  As a matter of fact the Blue Label version is rarer then the Black Label as Chess released fewer copies of the Blue Label.

Please take a look at the photos below.

Please note that unless otherwise noted, all records are graded visually and not play graded.

Condition:  The vinyl is in Near Mint to Mint Condition.  Side one label has absolutely no spindle marks that I can find.  Side two label has only a couple of very 
light spindle marks.

The vinyl on side one has no marks of any kind that I can find and side two has only a couple of very light superficial sleeve scuffs which are barely visible and than only when viewed under a strong light.  Light sleeve scuffs on trail off/dead wax that do not go into the playing surface.  These do not whatsoever affect the visual integrity or the beauty of the vinyl which has the original luster and shines and sparkles like new.

The cover is in Near Mint Condition with very small bump on right lower corner, hardly visible.  The spine and seams are in near perfect condition.

The back of the jacket is in Near Mint Condition.  No stains or other marks of any kind that I can find.

A rare vintage record but as with most of my auctions it is being listed without a reserve.

All records will be very well packaged and shipped in a proper record mailer.

Shipping:  I offer the following shipping options due to requirements of Paypal that a tracking number be supplied by the seller to Paypal as proof of shipment if a buyer puts in a claim for an item not received.

Canada:  All records will be shipped by "Xpresspost" at a cost of $10.00 US.

United States:  Auctions ending at less than $100.00 will be shipped by "Small Packet (Air)" at a cost of $12.00.  Auctions ending at $100.00 or higher will be shipped "Expedited-USA" which includes a tracking number at a cost of: $17.00 US.  Please be aware that "Expedited" is sent mostly by surface and therefore depending on your State this method could take up to three weeks for delivery.  If you wish to receive it quicker, the package can be shipped through "Xpresspost" which is sent by air and includes a tracking number at a cost of $29.00 US.

Overseas Shipping:  Auctions ending at less than $75.00 will be shipped by "Small Packet" (Air) at a cost of $19.00 US.  This is the quickest least expensive method but please note that there is no tracking number available for items shipped by this method.  Auctions ending at $75.00 or higher will only be shipped by "Xpresspost" which is quite expensive at approximately $65.00 US.  The cost does vary somewhat depending on the destination country therefore I will email the buyer with the final shipping cost at the end of the auction.

Insurance:  The first $100.00 is covered but anything above is $2.00 extra for every $100.00.  Insurance is highly recommended as I will not be responsible for items not insured for the appropriate amount.

Combined Shipping:  I will be glad to combine shipping in order to save on the shipping costs.  The combined shipping cost will be calculated on the total number of LPs and will be the exact amount that it costs me to ship the package.

Please Note:  I will not make exceptions to the above shipping methods.  I will not ship any item to ITALY or the RUSSIAN FEDERATION.  Please do not ask as I will not respond to your request.

Payment:  Payment is expected within three days of auction ending.

Please accept my apologies for the lengthy shipping description but the reason for this is that my concern is that the buyer receives the items they have purchased without any problems.

Now that we have that all out of the way, I thank you for looking at my listings and wish you the best of luck should you decide to bid.  Please take a look at my ratings.  I have sold a large quantity of items on eBay including a number of records and have 100% positive feedback.

I have been selling on eBay for a number of years and do my best to accurately describe the items I have listed, but different people view different things in different ways.  If for some reason after receiving your item you feel that my description was not accurate and you are not pleased, contact me and I'm confident that we can work it out.

Thanks,
Edward
