Howlin' Wolf Moanin' In The Moonlight Original 1958 Chess Mono Listen to Full LP

$

300

Up for auction is a classic Blues LP: Moanin' In The Moonlight by Howlin' Wolf.

The pressing for sale was released on Chess in 1958.

(Catalog Number: 1434).

Vinyl is graded at VG+. High Gloss. A handful of very light surface scuffs and one short scratch (~1cm.) that can be felt. The scratch falls on the track "No Place To Go" and causes some noise but not too bad. Listen to the entire LP below. Audio was taken directly from the album for sale and has not been altered in any way. Just a note: I'm still getting the hang of this software and the volume levels on the first track are a little high, so if you hear some distortion when Chester really starts moanin' and howlin' don't worry too much, that's just a product of my ineptitude with the technology and not the record itself.

Jacket is graded at VG+. Strong seams and spine with some light edge wear. Some rubbing and scuffing on front cover. Bright, crisp graphics with decent gloss. Writing and light general wear on rear.

Please see detailed photos to gather as much information as possible about the condition of the items for sale.

I will be listing approximately 100 excellent Blues LPs over the coming days. Please check all of my auctions and you may find some great music to enjoy. I have digital audio files for many of these recordings. For items that draw heavy interest I will try to upload those audio files so that you will know the exact quality of the item you are receiving before bidding. The audio files will never be altered in any way. Logistically it will be impossible to upload everything but feel free to contact me if you have a specific request to hear something.

Grades I use for used vinyl/jackets: EX, VG, G. And I use +/- for each. All grades are based on Goldmine Standards. Items in G (+/-) will only be listed if the rarity of the item outweighs the condition.

I only use M and NM for new items and I don't use +/- here. M is only if vinyl has absolutely never been played, and usually new jackets are NM because there is almost always some sort of corner ding or whatever even on sealed albums.

I ship all LPs in heavy duty LP mailers reinforced and properly padded. If an item isn't sealed I always remove inner sleeves containing the records from the outer jacket to avoid seam splitting and minimize the risk of damage during transit. I've had customers describe my packaging as "bomb proof" but the fact is, I'm a buyer too and I know the disappointment of receiving a poorly packaged LP with a jacket that was damaged in transit, so I just take a little extra time and care so that you don't have to worry.


Shipping within the US is $4. Shipping to Canada is $12. Shipping to Europe is $20. I do combine shipping. Within the US it will be $1 per each additional LP. Outside the US will be $4 for each additional LP. International orders over $50 must be sent via registered mail and will incur an additional cost for registration.

Thanks for looking. Check my feedback and bid with confidence. My primary goal is to make sure every customer is 100% satisfied. Enjoy your vinyl!!
