$

100

This album is regarded as one of history’s seminal blues albums.  It was instrumental in bringing blues music to the masses, and specifically to white audiences.  The reception the actual performance received during the 1960 Newport Jazz Festival is legendary, and the album is one of the most highly acclaimed albums of all time.  Rolling Stone magazine has it high on their list of greatest albums of all time and music critic Chris Smith included the album on his list of “101 Albums That Changed Popular Music”.  Muddy Waters is backed by an amazing group of musicians, including Otis Spann on piano and James Cotton on harmonica.  The album was released on Chess in 1960, number LP-1449.  This is the original black label release of the album.  The vinyl is in exceptional condition with its bright original luster and just a few very light surface scratches that barely impact play.  It plays beautifully with just very light sporadic background noise.  The vinyl grades VG.  The album cover shows light ring wear and significant corner and edge wear.  The top seam is completely split and there is a seven inch split on the open side of the bottom seam.  The spine is clean. There is a bit of age discoloration.  The cover grades G.

Grading Information

I only use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or more small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Very occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G.  This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy. 

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. Canada shipping rates have gone up dramatically. The first album will be shipped for $16.  Additional albums will be shipped for $4 per album, with up to five albums able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

The Canada cost determination also applies for all other International shipping, except that the first album is shipped for $21 and each subsequent is just an additional $5.00. 

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.  Payment by Paypal is preferred.
