Description
This is Mississippi blues legend and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member B.B.King singing "The Great B.B. King" on Crown 5143 from 1960. This original black and silver label record looks VG+ with moderate surface markings and plays VG+ with continuous background noises. There are no major pops or noises - just continuous light background noises. The jacket is also VG+ with two of the 3 seams all taped up. The bottom seam is still intact. If it wasn't for the taped up seam splits this jacket could be rated at a strong VG++ almost NM. The price guides suggest $80 for a NM copy. Because of its condition, I'm offering this copy at 1/3 of that. This album comes in a clear, poly-vinyl protective sleeve.
U.S. postage and handling is $4.00 on this item. International customers should email me first for a shipping quote.
I grade in direct sunlight or under a high-intensity lamp to assure the most accurate grading possible. However, you have my unconditional guarantee that I will take the records back if you think that the records are not as stated. My reputation is what has kept me in business for 40 years.
If you win multiple auctions, I will combine packaging to save you as much postage as possible. I ship with sturdy cardboard packaging to protect your records. Please review my feedback from previously satisfied customers. I have been buying and selling records for 40 years now and as of February 2019 I am celebrating 20 years on eBay.
Definitions:
Mint = 10 = Just like it came from the factory. May still be factory sealed. These will generally be priced close to collector value.
NM = 9 = Near Mint = Very minor surface markings that do not interfere with the audio playback. These will generally be priced at 80% to 90% of collector value.
VG++ = 7.5 = Very Good++ = The surface markings are more noticeable and may or may not affect the audio playback. Sometimes a record can look VG++ but still play in NM condition. These will generally be priced at 60% to 75% of collector value.
VG+ = 5 = Very Good+ = Now the surface markings are quite noticeable and they will generally be heard during audio playback. These will generally be priced at 40% to 50% of collector value.
Generally, I will not list records below VG+ unless it is a rare record of importance to collectors.
