Description
ATTENTION BLUES ALBUM COLLECTORS!
HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1971 1ST ISSUE OF THE RARELY SEEN(ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION)ALBUM BY ALBERT KING: "LOVEJOY".THIS ALBUM FAILED TO CHART IN THE UK AND AS SUCH WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE. IT VERY RARELY TURNS UP IN AS OUTSTANDING EXCELLENT CONDITION AS THIS UPGRADER STANDARD EXAMPLE!.IT'S ONE OF THE BEST COPIES I HAVE FOUND AND HEARD IN YEARS AS A DEALER.
POLYDOR PRESSED STAX 2325-042 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE A//1+B//1 MATRIXES AND WITH THICK VINYL. STEREO MIXES(THERE WERE NO MONOS!) HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL POLYLINED "PLASTIC BAGS CAN BE DANGEROUS" INNER SLEEVE WITH THE DATE CODE 0571(MAY 1971) AS WELL AS THE GATEFOLD COVER. NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH LATER REISSUES THAT EXIST-THIS IS THE ORIGINAL UK ISSUE! MOST BUYING LPs IN 1971 WERE USING OLD,HEAVY EQUIPMENT THAT WOULD WEAR OUT ANY RECORD VERY QUICKLY INDEED NOT FORGETTING MANY DEALERS WOULD ONLY OBTAIN THIS LP TO SPECIAL ORDER! DIRECT FROM THE COLLECTION OF A MAJOR COLLECTOR WHO HAS FINALLY DECIDED TO SELL HAVING CARED AND CHERISHED HIS RECORDS-MOST BOUGHT NEW AT THE TIME WITH MINIMAL PLAYS AS OFTEN THE CASE WITH LARGE COLLECTIONS.THEY WERE STORED UPRIGHT ON STRONG SHELVING AWAY FROM LIGHT,HEAT,DAMP AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A NON-SMOKER! THIS IMPRESSIVE EXAMPLE HAS AMAZINGLY HAD VERY CAREFUL USE IN NEARLY 45 YEARS! LOCATING A REALLY OUTSTANDING 1971 COPY IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD SOME CAREFUL USE WITH GLEAMING SURFACES,JUST A COUPLE OF FAINT HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER STRONG LIGHT.HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE. THE 1971 PRESSINGS HAVE FAR MORE BASS THAN THE LATER REISSUES. THE RECORD HAS NO LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS OR JUMPS.STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT CONDITION!THICK VINYL. THERE IS HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR AND NO LABEL WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR DEFACEMENT! THE GATEFOLD COVER HAS A STAIN AT THE BACK WHERE A STICKER HAS BEEN REMOVED BUT NO WRITING,CREASES,RIPS OR REPAIRS! PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A LOW,REALISTIC £15 BUY IT NOW PRICE FOR SUCH A SUPERB COPY WITH MORE RARE UPGRADER STANDARD LPs FROM ME ON EBAY THIS WEEK AND TO FOLLOW SO CHECK THEM OUT!.
PERSONAL COLLECTION IS WELCOME FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.
Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.
Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.
The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!
This is my honest grading!!!
Please see my listening policy below.
I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
