Description

Prestige Bluesville 1065, "Softee Man Blues" with Doug Quattlebaum, vocals and guitar, from 1962.  This is an original deep-groove pressing with matte jacket.  Vinyl plays at VG+ with some light crackle on the outer tracks; inner tracks improve but do not quite reach NM.  The jacket has a solid lower seam but the upper seam and spine have chips of paper missing while not being actually split. the jacket back is clean with no writing or stamps.  Songs are "Sweet Little Woman", "Whiskey Headed Woman", "Trouble in Mind", "You Is One Black Rat", "On My Way to School", "You Ain't No Good", "Come Back Blues", "Mama Don't Allow Me", "Big Leg Woman", "ove My Baby", "Black Night Is Falling", "Baby Take a Chance on Me", "So Sweet", and "Worried Mind Blues".  A landmark album by Bluesville with powerful guitar and vocals, by a bluesman who made one LP and never recorded again.  Shipping is $4.00 media mail, $7.00 priority mail in the continental U.S.; $15.00 airmail for Europe, Australia, Japan, and Korea; elsewhere inquire.  Insured priority shipping required for Italy and Brazil.  As a collector myself, I dislike sub-quality packaging as much as any other eBayer does.  Individual records will be shipped in special, handcrafted mailers unlike the usual type in three ways: (1) They are significantly larger all around and padded around the edges to prevent corner bumps to the jacket; (2) they are padded on both sides of the record with styro sheets or thick cardboard sheets to prevent damage to the record surface; (3)  they are constructed of heavier-duty cardboard than normal LP mailers to provide further protection.  All used LPs are shipped with record securely inside an inner sleeve but outside the jacket to prevent seam splitting in transit; our innovative padded packaging will prevent seam splitting for new, sealed LPs.  The end product is designed to withstand a drop from a second-story window with no damage (though I will not test it with your package).  No record should arrive in a condition worse than described.  Multiple LPs are shipped in BagsUnlimited pizza-style boxes that are larger around than LPs and will also be well padded.  Additional LPs in one package are $1.00 extra per LP for domestic and Canada, $2.00 extra per LP for overseas shipments.
