DESCRIPTION & TITLE.

This EP is one of around 40 rare Jazz and Blues records I will soon be listing on Ebay.They will all be mailed in the proper envelopes with stiffeners and PVC covers for protection.I won't have time to listen to them all,so grades are mainly visual unless stated otherwise.These records are in stunning condition,but many are old recordings taken from the 1920's onwards,so sound quality is not always as good as expected.

This is the Original U.K ep by Little Walter and his dukes.I won't waste too much effort grading sleeve and labels,you can clearly see the exact record for sale in my scans.Scans always highlight the bad bits,creases look 10 times worse due to shadows,dirt looks like dung heaps.This is a stunning record and sleeve,and extremely rare.

RECORD LABEL:

LONDON.

CATALOGUE NUMBER:

RE-U.1061.

CONDITION:

VINYL:

 Excellent+.Strictly,it grades no higher.Lovely and glossy,plays without problems.no deep scratches,no clicks,sticks pops or jumps.Has some light surface marks,pretty insignificant.I would not attempt to clean this record,it is too old and too rare for a novice to try,but that said,there are a couple of slight finger print type marks which would certainly remove if you know what you are at,I won't try,I dare not on such a rare record.The music........crikey,when anyone talks of the blues,it is just a term,this...it is worlds apart from anything I have ever heard.It is so vibrant,sounds like Little Walter and his dukes are here in the room with me.I would easily say,I have never heard the likes of this before,nothing has ever come close.This is music at the very highest,and far beyond the highest standard of anything that I have ever had the pleasure to hear.

LABELS:

Excellent+,I think the scans show these well.

SLEEVE:

Sleeve is as seen in my photo,Excellent+.Again see the scans.No splits or rips,flipbacks firmly attached.Note the stains between track listings,these will clean off as all the sleeve is laminated.i have not cleaned anything as an item for sale should be sold as seen.I am sure many sellers would grade much of this listing higher,I think I have been honest,I welcome questions and I also pack records carefully.

PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK,MANY DON'T,I FIND IT RUDE.I HAVE PUT A LOT OF EFFORT INTO HONEST TRADING AND GOOD CUSTOMER RELATIONS.FEEDBACK IS WHAT MAKES EBAY TICK AND ENABLES PEOPLE TO BUY RELATIVELY SAFELY.I HAVE BLOCKED EVERY SINGLE BUYER WHO HAS NOT LEFT FEEDBACK FROM BUYING FROM ME,I VIEW THAT AS IGNORANT,AND WOULD RATHER KEEP MY RECORDS THAN SELL TO PEOPLE LIKE THAT.BUYERS HAVE BOUGHT FROM ME,PAYED GOOD MONEY AND BEEN A PLEASURE TO DEAL WITH,AND TOLD ME THAT ONCE THEY HAVE PAYED,THAT IS THEIR COMMITMENT MET,SIMPLE AS THAT,FEEDBACK IS IRRELEVANT AND OVER-RATED,AND GIVEN TOO FREELY.IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH ANYTHING I SELL YOU,IF IT IS MY FAULT,A FULL REFUND WILL BE GIVEN.USUALLY,YOU'LL GET A REFUND EVEN IF I DON'T AGREE,I WANT TO KEEP MY 100% POSITIVE SCORE.THUS FAR I HAVE HAD TO RETURN I CAMERA,AND ONE RECORD,CURRENTLY LISTED ACTUALLY,A PINK FLOYD LP.I WON'T GET UPSET OR ABUSIVE.I ONLY RANT ABOUT THIS TODAY WITH THIS PARTICULAR LISTING BECAUSE I AWAIT APPROX.40 FEEDBACKS AFTER AMPLE TIME,I HAVE HUNDREDS OF EMAILS I WISH TO ERASE,BUT I NEVER DO UNTILL SALE IS FULLY COMPLETE.I NO LONGER LEAVE FEEDBACK FOR BUYERS UNTILL I GET MINE SIMPLY BECAUSE I THEN KNOW THE ITEM HAS ARRIVED,AND ALL IS WELL.I THINK THAT IS FAIR.

THANKS FOR LOOKING!!!!

Sorry about the photo quality,it is the best I can do with my old cheap camera.
