ALBUM REVIEW
What a fine bowl of Southern gumbo this Johnny Jenkins disc is. Aided and abetted by the likes of Duane Allman (this started as an Allman solo disc, but when he formed the Allman Brothers Band, Jenkins put his vocals over the tracks best suited), Dickey Betts, and those great guys from Muscle Shoals, Jenkins cooks on such cuts as "Down Along the Covell" from the pen of Bob Dylan, and Muddy Waters' "Rollin' Stone." But it is Dr. John's "I Walk On Guilded Splinters" which shines here and is the one which folks will recognize as the basis for Beck's hit "Loser." On the slippery "Blind Bats & Swamp Rats" you can almost feel the heat and humidity rolling out of the bayou. This reissue also includes the mighty fine bonus cuts "I Don't Want No Woman" and "My Love Will Never Die." Great Southern funk n' roll for the discerning listener. It even includes educational linear notes which tell the tale behind each cut.
Photos are of actual item.
My grading which is based on the Goldmine Standard;
M. Mint. Unopened, sealed.
M- Near mint. Perfect, un-played, like NEW. May have a promo stamp, hole or slit in cover.
VG++ - Almost new, with only superficial signs of use that don't affect play.
VG+ - Vinyl has slight signs of wear, slight scuffs or faint scratches, that don't affect the sound. Cover may have slight signs of wear.
VG - Surface noise will be noticeable, but will not overpower the music. The cover may have writing or tape.
VG- Vinyl plays without skipping, but has significant surface noise and scratches. The cover may have splits, writing, tape, or stickers on it.
I generally sell VG++, or better, except for the RARE, out of print, or unavailable item.
ATTENTION:
I strongly encourage COMBINED S&H. Each additional LP is $1.00.
I am listing, alphabetically, a huge collection, that belonged to a friend.
It comes from radio stations, and leftover record store stock. He was a DJ, and record store manager.
Many one of a kind items, some not available commercially.
Additional photos always available, upon request.
I encourage multiple wins, and S&H, nothing beyond actual cost added.
I'd rather send five items to one seller, than one item to five.
Looking for a certain item, E-me, I might have it, and will list it. Or buy it now.
All packaged professionally, to prevent damage in transport.
I use record mailers for vinyl, and bubble envelopes for CDs.
Please keep watching, ALL MUST GO!
