house of the BLUES

PLAYS AMAZING !!!!
THIS IS THE ONE AND ONLY, MR JOHN LEE HOOKER, WHO WAS FROM TUTWILER, MISSISSIPPI, AND ONE OF THE GREATEST BLUES ARTISTS OF ALL TIME. THIS AMAZING BLUES ALBUM WAS ORIGINALLY ONLY RELEASED IN THE U.S.A, ON THE CHESS LABEL IN 1960, AND NOT UNTIL 1964, WAS IT RELEASED IN THE UK ON THE PYE INTERNATIONAL LABEL. THIS IS A MUST HAVE BLUES ALBUM, AND YET ANOTHER VERY SAD LOSS FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !! 
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1960 UK 1ST PRESS :: 1 LP 12042A-1M  'KT' :: 1 LP 12042B-1M  'KT' .
PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER WITH VERY EARLY STAMPERS  ::  1 D  ::  1 A .
ON THE RED AND YELLOW PYE INTERNATIONAL LABEL :: NPL.28042 .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL, FRONT LAMINATED FLIPBACK, PRINTED AND MADE BY GARROD & LOFTHOUSE Ltd, PATENTS PENDING. LOVELY SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, WITH JUST ONE SINGLE TINY SPOT OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM EDGE NEAR THE MIDDLE, AND ALSO WITH A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS, AND A TINY SEAM SPLIT ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER, AND AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOTHING MUCH. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, AND NO LAMINATE LIFT, JUST SOME SMALL LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, WITH A LONGER ONE IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER. THE BACK IS FREE FROM WRITING, JUST SOME AGEING, SO IS BEST DESCRIBED VISUALLY, AS YOU WILL SEE IN THE PHOTOS, THANK YOU. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, AND I WOULD GRADE  ::  VG+ . 

VINYL :: NOW IT GETS BETTER AS THE AUDIO PLAYS SUPERB, AND JUST TWO FAINT TICKS ON EACH SIDE SO CERTAINLY WILL NOT DISAPPOINT !!!!

VISUALLY, AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FINE, SO ALWAYS A GOOD SIGN, BUT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE QUITE A LOT OF COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, SOME VARIOUS SIZED COSMETIC HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF SMALL FAINT THIN HARMLESS SCUFF LINES, AND HONESTLY THEY HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE AUDIO, JUST A VISUAL EFFECT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, SO IF YOU DID NOT LOOK AT THE VINYL YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW THEY WERE THERE.

NOW I COULD HAVE GONE EX+ ON THE AUDIO, BUT I WILL PLAY IT SAFE, AND SO GRADE THE WONDERFUL AUDIO  :: EX/EX+ . 

LABELS :: NO ISSUES, JUST SOME LIGHT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT ::  EX .

ORIGINAL PYE INNER :: NO SPLITS, AND IN LOVELY CONDITION, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL DESCRIBED ABOVE :: EX- .

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT, ANOTHER JOHN LEE HOOKER MASTERPIECE, AND A RARE 1960 UK PRESS MONO, THAT PLAYS SUPERB !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!! ROSE.
