Description
Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted.
Grading is based on visual inspection.
Vintage vinyl is hard to grade strictly using eBay’s system. Therefore, I call a record New if it is opened but has never been played. I use the grading category to describe the cover condition.
I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.
- This was the last configuration of The Blues Breakers and the last album Mayall recorded under the Blues Breakers name.
- If you're a Mayall fan you will love this copy.
- It has never been played and it is on very thick vinyl.
- It is a First Pressing.
- The paper on board gatefold cover has tight seams, a stiff spine and shows slight corner storage wear.
- The inner sleeve features the London catalog on both sides.
- This is a one-owner that the Seller got new in his record store in 1969. It has been in storage for 48 years.

This album and these Bluesbreakers mark the beginning of a new journey for me in 1968 -- impossible to speak too highly of the musical contributions from the revised personnel -- only one thing left to say -- This is my story so let this music be my true voice.
