TODAY, I'M SELLING SOME OF MY CHERISHED MUDDY WATERS COLLECTION! THE VINYL HAS BEEN ON MY SHELF FOR OVER 30+ YEARS! Read The Details Below... I used to get promotional records. Many ended up on the shelf and were barely played, if at all. Some were kept just to keep them. In Muddy's case, I already had most of the music already, and these (that are reissues) were just saved just to have. My pack rat tendencies equals your gain. NOTE: I haven't had a turntable since last century, so - unfortunately - this sale needs to be considered as is, but I will describe the vinyl the best I can. Most of my vinyl has no visible scratches. I'm not a "record seller," so I don't know or understand the intricacies of "grading," so you'll have to deal with my descriptions. BE WARY OF SELLERS WHO DON'T POST THEIR OWN PICS!

MUDDY WATERS
Fathers And Sons (12" 2-LP, 1972/1989) Chess/MCA Records CH2-92522 (Promotional Copy) ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS - Possibly Unplayed - Gold Promo Stamp In Top Right Corner On Back
From the highly coveted 80s "Original Chess" reissue series. This one is incredible. I've owned a copy of this album since 1972, so when I received this promo item, I had no reason to even play it. I can't guarantee that I never did, but if it was EVER played more than once I'd be shocked. And the proof is in the visuals. As we all know, it's virtually impossible to use the word "mint" when it comes to vinyl records, but this one is as close as it gets. When I opened this gatefold up to inspect it yesterday, it "crackled" like it was the first time it had ever been opened. it's slick and shiny and new looking like records only are when the plastic is pulled off the first time. The vinyl is the same way. POSSIBLY unplayed, but certainly rarely handled. There's a gold PROMO stamp on the upper right back cover (see pic). The cover has NO SHELF WEAR. In fact, there's only one real flaw I can see, a tiny discoloration spot in the very upper left corner. No clue what's it's from. The pic captures it somewhat. You'll be happy to own this one. The All Music Guide stated, "Of Muddy Waters' later recordings, it certainly got no better than the summit meeting heard on Fathers and Sons."                    SIDE A All Aboard (2:50 Mean Disposition (5:42) Blow Wind Blow (3:35) Can't Lose What You Ain't Never Had (3:03) Walkin Thru The Park (3:07)

ALL MUSIC GUIDE STAR REVIEW The resurgence of Chicago-based blues in the mid-to-late 1960s came with an entirely new breed of icons to bear the torch. Among them was the decidedly electric Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Joining Muddy Waters (guitar/vocals) and Otis Spann (piano) on the aptly titled Fathers and Sons are three Butterfield Blues Band alumni: Michael Bloomfield (guitar), Sam Lay (drums), and leader Paul Butterfield (guitar). Further augmenting the personnel is Booker T. & the MG's Donald "Duck" Dunn (bass) and Buddy Miles (drums) -- who cameos during the live "Got My Mojo Workin'" finale. This all-star cast helps reclaim some of Waters' fire, which had been summarily doused on his previous outing Electric Mud. Additionally, the incorporation of the younger generation of bluesmen solidified Waters' stature as one of the pre-eminent forces in Chicago blues to a decidedly fresh and underdeveloped audience. The LP is split between studio sides cut on April 21-23 and a half-hour live set. This performance, during the Super Cosmic Joy-Scout Jamboree, was documented on the evening following the final day of studio recording. The event was held at Auditorium Theater in (where else?) Chicago. Simplifying the process is Fathers and Sons set list, which consists exclusively of vintage Waters material. "Mean Disposition" and "Standin' Round Cryin'" drip with Bloomfield and Butterfield's nasty languid electric funk, and feature Waters' determined and energized vocals. On the uptempo blues/rockers "Walking Thru the Park" and "Sugar Sweet," the nimble and lyrical guitar passages meld the distance between Waters and the electric blues of Cream and Led Zeppelin. Without question, the highlight of Fathers and Sons is the live performances that are incessantly fueled by the explosive nature of the musicians on-stage as well as the audience. "Long Distance Call" and the two-part "Got My Mojo Working" are the finest pieces on the album. They likewise rate among the most complementary marriages of Chicago R&B with rock & roll. Of Muddy Waters' later recordings, it certainly got no better than the summit meeting heard on Fathers and Sons. Fans of Waters' true and natural showmanship, as well as enthusiasts of blues-based rock & roll, will find plenty to revisit.
