Blues From Chicago – NM Chicago Blues Vinyl LP – Eddie Taylor-Odie Payne

$

27

This spectacular album is billed as a Various Artists collection.  That’s a bit misleading.  There are five incredible musicians on this album.  They are:  Willie Anderson (harmonica), Detroit Jr., (piano), Jimmy Lee Robinson (bass), Eddie Taylor (guitar), and Odie Payne (drums).  The five came together in a Chicago studio in September, 1979 and worked together for three days on these recordings.  They each took their turn leading the group, playing and singing their own compositions.  The result is truly special.  One band, with five different leaders and styles, all working brilliantly.  The album was released on Violet in 1981, number 2301.  This is the original release of the album.  The vinyl is in pristine condition with its bright original luster and no scratches or scuffs.  You will detect a couple of light pressing blemishes on side one, but these do not impact play.  It plays with virtually no background noise.  The vinyl grades NM.  The album cover shows light ring wear and light corner wear.  All seams are clean, sharp, tight, and intact.  The cover grades VG+.

Grading Information

I only use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Very occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G.  This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy. 

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. Canada shipping rates have gone up dramatically. The first album will be shipped for $15.  Additional albums will be shipped for $4 per album, with up to five albums able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

The Canada cost determination also applies for all other International shipping, except that the first album is shipped for $22 and each subsequent is just an additional $5.00. 

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.  Payment by PayPal is preferred.
