·       WALTER JACKSON – IT’S ALL OVER - ORIGINAL 1964 OKEH RECORDS (COLUMBIA’S R&B SUBSIDIARY) MONOLP OKM-12107

·       ORIGINAL U.S. PRESSING

*** STILL SEALED GUARANTEED ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING ***

·       GUARANTEED ORIGINAL BURGUNDY (DEEP PURPLE) OKEH LABEL WITH SILVER PRINT (NO OTHER STOCK MONO LABELS EXIST)

·       PRODUCED (AND PROBABLY ARRANGED) BY CURTIS MAYFIELD

·       THE THICKNESS OF THE VINYL, THE APPEARANCE AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE COVER, LABEL’S LOGO AND OTHER PERIPHERAL ELEMENTS OF THE COVER, ARE ALL PERFECTLY CONSISTENT WITH THE ORIGINAL, FIRST PRESSING OF THIS TITLE.

·       TWO “BREATHE” (AIR) HOLES NOTED ON THE SHRINK WRAP

·       NOTE: WE BELIEVE THAT, LIKE ALL OKEH MONO PRESSINGS, THIS RECORD WAS PACKAGED IN STILL SEALED PERFORATED PLASTIC BAGGY.. IF OUR ASSUMPTION IS CORRECT, THIS MEANS THAT THE RECORD IS NOT ONLY STILL SEALED – IT IS MOST LIKELY SEALED TWICE!!!! (FIRST IN ITS INNER, PERFORATED PLASTIC BAGGY AND THEN AGAIN IN ITS ORIGINAL SHRINKWRAPPED COVER). THIS TYPE OF INNER SLEEVES (PERFORATED PLASTIC BAGGIES) WAS USED BY COLUMBIA AND AFFILIATED LABELS (SUCH AS OKEH) BETWEEN 1964 AND 1967 AND WAS DISCONTINUED AFTER 1967.

·       THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC, FIRST U.S. PRESSING; THIS IS NOT A REISSUE, AN IMPORT, OR A COUNTERFEIT PRESSING.

·       THICK CARDBOARD COVER, AMERICAN STYLE

·       THICK, HEAVY VINYL PRESSING

·       As far as we know, this album has NEVER been available on legitimate Compact Disc or in any other way, manner or format.

Born in Florida, where he was stricken with polio as a young child, Walter Jackson spent his young adulthood in Detroit, where he never let his need for crutches prevent him from performing whenever he could, and by the time Columbia Records signed him and relocated him to Chicago in the early '60s, Jackson had developed into a thoroughly professional singer with an incredibly controlled and emotive baritone. Placed on Columbia's OKeh subsidiary and given songs to work with from songwriters like the great Curtis Mayfield, Jackson quickly became the epitome of what was then called big-city soul, turning out records marked by strong production, orchestration, horns, and full massed backup vocals. His voice was so strong, however, that it easily became the central anchor in any production he was involved with, and there really is no singer in the history of Soul, uptown or otherwise, quite like Walter Jackson. This is a wonderful set and, given the quality on display here, it is truly amazing that Jackson didn't enjoy more high chart action than he did. His voice and approach, which really had more in common with singers like Nat King Cole than the deep soul singers of the day, anticipates the so-called uptown soul movement by some three decades, and if soul singers can be said to croon, well, Jackson invented the technique. The It's All Over album was itself cobbled together from whatever singles and B-sides OKeh had on hand when Jackson's version of the title tune, Curtis Mayfield's gorgeous "It's All Over," went Top Ten on the R&B charts in 1965, but largely because of Jackson's huge, steady vocals, the album now seems much more unified in concept than it actually was. Not surprisingly, some of the best songs here were written by Mayfield, including the aforementioned "It's All Over," and the brilliant "That's What Mama Say" It would be unfair to think of Jackson as simply a Mayfield interpreter, though, since whatever he sang he made completely his own. Nearly forgotten these days, Jackson is due for a rediscovery: It's All Over is a great start.

 (EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY STEVE LEGGETT, ALL MUSIC GUIDE  /ALLMUSIC.COM/)

Walter Jackson - who was a paraplegic -- and boldly shown with clutches on the cover of one of his albums (a gesture which - in retrospect - must have been a massively courageous act in the mid-1960's ) -- was not an explosive, dynamic, dramatic stage performer in the James Brown or Wilson Pickett vein (this would have been impossible in light of his physical challenge). On the contrary, he was the R&B crooner in the best tradition of Billy Eckstine, Nat King Cole, Bobby Blue Bland or Sam Cooke. Endowed with an impossibly deep, resonant-as-a-bell baritone, Walter could easily sing a phone bill and it would not matter: until his untimely death some ten years ago, Jackson was a heir to the great American crooning tradition. The album contains what many believe to be the single finest soul ballad of the 1960: the gorgeous, soaring, deeply tragic, almost spiritual title track, plus many, many more. A great soul album by the often-neglected Soul pioneer . Finding a still sealed original copy?!?! Forget it – not even a HOPE!!! This may be the last one you will ever see.

CONDITION:

RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records ►click here (PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING A BID).

(b)          The record is believed to come in it's original inner, perforated plastic baggy

(c)           The record is  apparently pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
