Mono
A very nice Original 12" 1st pressing vinyl release of this Blues classic on the Topic label, complete with insert in Excellent condition.
Vinyl is in Excellent+/NM condition and looks like it has been played very few times. This vinyl still carries a beautiful sheen and deep lustre. I play graded it and there is no background hiss, it really is in very nice condition. The original deep groove labels are excellent. There is no surface wear, dirt, scuffs or warps. The record plays beautifully.
The sleeve is graded VG++/Excellent.Although of a flimsy nature it has stood the test of time extremely well. Nice laminate and really good colour on the front of the sleeve and there are no rips or tears. The spine is good with readable text and is very thin. Rear of sleeve has some generic mild ageing but generally excellent.
Introductory notes are excellent with one small age spot at the front.
A genuine and collectable CLASSIC 1st PRESS BLUES LP on TOPIC and in great condition.
Please check my other auctions for many more classic original UK and US Jazz and Blues records from a large and well looked after collection.
I have tried too show the condition of vinyl & sleeve with the photographs listed but please contact me with any questions that you may have.
Records will be mailed in a strong corrugated cardboard cruciform style mailer.
I use the UK record collector grading guide as detailed below.
Records are visually graded unless stated as play graded
Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
As well as the above grades, Near Mint is often used as well; this is really for a record that appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner and is assumed to have been played by them. For records which appear to fall between the accepted grades, + and - are also often added to the grading.
