THE FIRST INCREDIBLE ALBUM FROM PAUL BUTTERFIELDS CHICAGO BLUES COMBO, AND THE BEGINNING OF A PRODUCTIVE UNION WITH MIKE BLOOMFIELD. REGARDED AS GROUNDBREAKING AND ALSO THE ARRIVAL OF 'WHITE' BLUES. THIS LP WAS ALSO THE VERY FIRST ELEKTRA RECORD TO BE RELEASED WITH THE CHARACTERISTIC 'ORANGE' TEXTURED LABELS, HAVING ALSO BEEN PRESSED VERY VERY BREIFLY ON THE 'GOLD' GUITAR PLAYER' LABELS. THIS IS A FANTASTIC COPY OF THIS RARE CLASSIC, AND SO HARD TO FIND IN THIS EXCELLENT CONDITION.

THE SLEEVE IS FULLY INTACT WITH NO SPLITS OR TEARS, THE FRONT ARTWORK IS NICE AND BRIGHT WITH NO FADING AND THE REAR IS STILL CLEAN AND WHITE, THE SPINE IS STILL READABLE, JUST. AND THE EDGES AND CORNERS SHOW VERY LITTLE WEAR. A VERY NICE SLEEV AND GRADED EXCELLENT-.
THE DISC IS A CLASSIC EARLY UK ELEKTRA PRESS WITH HAND A ETCHED MATRIX. PERFECTLY FLAT WITH SUPER SHINY GROOVES, THE TEXTURED UK ELEKTRA LABELS ARE CLEAN AND UNDAMAGED, THE PLAYING SURFACES ARE VERY, VERY CLEAN WITH NO MARKING TO THE GLOSSY VINYL. THE PLAYBACK IS EXCELLENT MONO RIGHT THROUGH BOTH SIDES, A FANTASTIC SOUNDING 45 YEAR OLD CLASSIC, GRADED EXCELLENT.
