Howlin' Wolf Sings the Blues Crown Records CLP 5240 Reissue

$

27

Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Media Mail.
From a collector's vault, as I found it, a re-issue of a 1962 release. Its not very new.  Based on new albums in collection, probably acquired in 80s or early 90s.  This is the foundation sound that Canned Heat and Creedance Clearwater tried to copy later. This though, is the real deal, the source.  Superficial small scuffs and scratches but not hearing them. The jacket is pretty much undamaged with good corners and seams. Some soiling or discoloration on back left edge. See pics. New generic paper sleeve.

Notes

This version was released with the silver labels with black print, as came into use in late 1962.
Initial released with the black labels with coloured logo, see Howling Wolf Sings The Blues
The initial version looks like a Monarch pressing, while this version is most likely pressed at the Bihari pressing plant, so hardly dateable.

DISCLAIMER: The records I am selling are almost all from a deceased collector and dealer's vault. All are in plastic jackets. I am not a collector and by no means an expert on records. I rely on Discogs for all my information and believe the above to be correct. I listen to the singles once or more and match what I hear to published standards of record grading. I try to be cautious and underestimate the record condition, usually giving a possible range. I add description to clarify what I thought I heard as well as my feelings about the music. The description is intended to allow collectors to second-guess me about my rating if they want. I am assuming potential buyers are well informed about the record. On LPs, I do a careful visual inspection and may listen to a cut that I suspect may be damaged. I may do a quick cleaning but do not have equipment to properly clean records at this time. Because of my lack of real expertise, I am offering records at what I think is a reasonable but low starting price. If it is bid up to a high price, it is because buyers want it that much not because I have hyped it or over estimated it. Please don't be angry at me for expensive purchases. I am often surprised at how little or how much a record is wanted by collectors and often have to reduce prices or cancel failed auctions that make the value not worth the time. Bidders set the value. Please ask any questions.
