Item Description:
JOHNNY YOUNG & BIG WALTER HORTON: 'Chicago Blues' LP
Arhoolie 1037 LP, made in US, 1968. Album is play graded.
Record: Strong VG+, with a few barely visible hairlines/ sleeve scuffs; no warps, skips or scratches. Very light general wear with light noise, though a thorough cleaning with a record-vac would significantly improve the sound. Labels have no spindle marks.
Cover: VG+, with light ring/edge/corner wear and some light staining/discoloration.
This is a sweet copy of a cool collaboration featuring singer/guitarist Johnny Young and harmonica master Big Walter Horton on a 1968 Arhoolie Records album entitled 'Chicago Blues'. It's an excellent set, the fine backing band includes Lafayette Leake on piano and Jimmy Dawkins on guitars.
Cool and collectible. Very nice.
NOTE TO BIDDERS: Discount pricing is available for multiple purchases that are shipped together. Please ask for details prior to bidding.
A NOTE ABOUT GRADING
All records are graded using the 'Goldmine' grading system, applied conservatively. Grading is as follows:
M = MINT. Absolutely perfect in every way - never played. I rarely use this grade.
NM = NEAR MINT. A nearly perfect record. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. The LP jacket should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other signs of use. The same should be true of inserts, lyric sheets, posters, etc.
NM- = NEAR MINT MINUS. This is a grade of my own devising. The record will show signs that it was played, but rarely. Record surfaces may have very light needle trails or very light scuffs, but NO scratches or warps. The LP jacket may have very light wear, but NO cut-out holes, cut corners or saw cuts.
VG+ = VERY GOOD PLUS. The record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner(s) who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs, very light scratches or slight warps that don't significantly affect the listening experience. The LP jacket may have some signs of wear and may be marred by a cut-out hole/cut corner/saw cut.
VG = VERY GOOD. Many of the condition issues found on a VG+ record will be more pronounced on a VG record. Some surface noise will be evident upon playing. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches (deep enough to be felt with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. LP jackets may have writing, tape or stickers/labels/tags. Other signs of wear may also be evident.
VG- = VERY GOOD MINUS. Similar to a VG record, but with more obvious condition issues. Surface noise from light scratches or groove wear will be present, but the record will not have skips. LP jackets will have multiple signs of wear. Not collectible, but may serve as a play copy.
