Muddy Waters – I’m Ready – NM Chicago Blues-Electric Blues Vinyl LP - OG

$

22

Muddy Waters was always recognized as one of the greats in the Chicago blues scene.  But he took it up another notch when he started working with Johnny Winter.  This album is one of the best pieces of evidence of how well that collaboration worked.  And in addition to Winter on guitar and doing the production, it includes support from several other legendary blues performers:  Walter Horton, on harmonica, Pinetop Perkins on piano, Bob Margolin on bass, and Willie Smith on drums.  The album was released on Blue Sky records in 1978, number JZ 34928.  This is the original release of the album.  The vinyl is in pristine condition with its bright original luster and no scratches or scuffs. It plays with virtually no background noise.  The vinyl grades NM. The album cover has two frame-worthy artist’s portraits of the superstar, one on the front and one on the back.  It shows a hint of ring wear and very light corner and edge wear.  All seams are clean, sharp, tight, and intact.  There is a small spot of sticker residue on the back. The cover grades VG+.

Grading Information

I 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 two 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.  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.  The first album will typically cost approximately $22.  Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds 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. 

Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country.  Typically the cost per album will be no more than $27.  Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.

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.
