Description
This is the rare original B B King 1965 US LP live recording Live At The Regal in stereo on ABC, catalogue number ABCS-509. This is the master release and, I assumed, from the matrix numbers, the first pressing. The matrix numbers are ABCS-509A/ABCS-509B.
I bought this album in New York in 1966. Discogs isn't very clear and doesn't carry any label pictures for the first pressing. I have now been contacted by someone who believes that the original pressing only appeared with ABC/Paramount centre labels, rather than ABC. This website gives greater detail http://www.bsnpubs.com/abc/abc500.html.
This certainly isn't one of the later reissues. So I suspect it's the first pressing, as the matrices suggest, but that some of those pressings came to be ABC (rather than ABC/Paramount) labelled. The cover of the record is clearly labelled ABC/Paramount. Make up your own mind.
And next week we will be discussing how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
The cover is VG++, with some light ring wear (see pictures).
The record is VG++. There is one mark on one side and three marks on the other side but nothing that seems to effect playing at all.
For track listings, see enlarged record label photos.
I am not a record dealer. Over the next few weeks I am selling off my collection of some two hundred albums, mainly from the 1960s and 1970s (see my other items). These have been stored with care and unplayed over the past twenty years. Before this most were played only on a Linn LP12 deck and carefully handled. None of them are mint (it was a working record collection) but most are in extremely good condition. Many were bought as the albums were released and so are first pressings. I have tried to use the guide to condition in Record Collector as a guide to my descriptions of condition and am also providing other information such as matrix numbers wherever possible. I am also posting a number of photos of each album. If anyone buys an album and feels it has not been accurately described, I will happily refund as long as the record is returned to me promptly in the condition that it left here.
I will post albums out, signed for whenever possible, in the appropriate size of high end record mailer, as supplied by Covers 33 within two working days of receiving cleared funds via Paypal. Anything over £40 will go out Special Delivery in the UK or International Signed For abroad.
Unfortunately I can’t get my postage costs as low as some of the other people who are selling on here as I live in a remote rural area and it’s a twenty mile round trip to the Post Office, but I can combine postage for records bought within a ten day period. Any combined postage outside the UK will be done as International Signed For. Contact me via eBay messages for full details.
Happy bidding!
