Description Of Item For Sale: A great record,and a very rare one from 1955 by Blind Lemon.It would be hard to find a better one.Please note,I have removed the sticker you can see on the top left of the photograph on the front of the sleeve.

Also worth a mention,a short extract about the sound quality of this recording,written at the bottom of the rear of the sleeve,it is as follows:

(Note:The technical quality of this record should be judged by standards applicable to early recording processes,Surface noise has not been entirely removed in order to retain a more faithful reproduction of tone qualities.)

The sleeve notes on the rear of the sleeve give a great insight to the life and times of Blind Lemon Jefferson.These recordings were taken in 1929.

Condition:

Sleeve- Excellent+,no rips,splits,dirt,scribbles or any unsticking of the flipbacked sleeve.This laminated sleeve has no edgewear.There is a crease developing at the bottom right on the rear,I hope you can make it out in my photograph.When I removed the afore mentioned sticker,no damage occurred to the lovely clean laminate sleeve.

Vinyl- Excellent+.Only light surface marks,but very very few,and very very light..Lovely clean and glossy,shines lovely.There are a few very light finger prints,I am sure if you are good at cleaning a record carefully,it is well worth doing.I am stunned to find this record in suck great condition,I would like it to stay that way,so I have attempted to give any sort of a clean,as I don't think it needs it,and also there is a fair chance that the buyer will be better at doing this than I am.

Labels- Near Mint-. I have added the minus as a safeguard,I can't see a single problem with the labels,and no spindle marks.Immaculate.

Innersleeve- Excellent.A PVC bag,no splits,stunningly clean,and even has a very small original Made In England Pat.App, For sticker.

Extra Items,e.g.Poster,Insert-NONE.
