1953

A very rare Original UK 10" vinyl release of this killer Blues 10" from 1953.

Vinyl is in NM condition and looks hardly played. Vinyl is still shiny with a good sheen, the only marks that it has are marks from the poly sleeve that it has lived in (these do not affect play at all). There is no surface wear, dirt, scuffs or warps. The original black and gold labels are in excellent condition. The record plays with a clarity and resonance as to be expected of a genuine 1st press that has recived little, if any, play at all. Sounds fantastic.

Sleeve is graded Excellent. The colours are strong and clear at the front. There is some very minor ageing to towards the spine area, but this is minor. The rear of flipback still good despite the flimsy nature of these sleeves. It is clean but with some ageing towards the spine which has some slight fluffing. Still very Nice. See pics.

A rare, genuine Uk blues classic on Capitol records, 61 years old and in really nice condition.

Please check my other auctions for many more classic original UK and US Jazz and Blues records from a large and well looked after collection.

I use the UK record collector grading guide as detailed below.

Records are visually graded unless stated as play graded.

All records are packed in sturdy corrugated mailers (not flimsy ones)

Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:
 
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
 
As well as the above grades, Near Mint is often used as well; this is really for a record that appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner and is assumed to have been played by them. For records which appear to fall between the accepted grades, + and - are also often added to the grading.
