 You are about to bid on one of the rarest and greatest blues albums.

  Artist : Lightnin' Slim

  Album : Rooster Blues

  Label : Excello LP- 8000

  Music Format : Mono

  Issue Year : 1960

 Vinyl Condition : Visually, I'm going to modestly say VG. Each side has very light scuffs and hairline scratches. I've play graded this LP at VG / VG+. Lets talk about side one: Side one has minimal to no back ground crackle. Song 1 has  two low pops/ticks. Overall, side one plays all the way threw with no skips and sounds so amazing only with a occasional light back ground crackle. Lets talk about side two: Side two, Song 1 has approx. 6 pops/ticks which five of them are very faint and one of them is a little bit louder. All six pops/ticks happen once per revolution, so they go by real quickly. The rest of side 2 sounds amazing with minimal to no background crackle. Real clean sounding and vinyl has good gloss. I'm trying to be as thorough in describing it as possible. If it was not for these two factors it would be a solid VG+. Overall, both sides have minimal to no back ground crackle and have the occasional pop/tick and does not skip.  You will not be disappointed. I personally have only been in contact with three of these albums in my life and this is the nicest I've ever seen and listened to in person.

Labels : VG+, Orange/Gray with light spindle marks.

Cover : VG / VG+, Minimal front cover wear, almost no ring wear. Still has great color and sheen/gloss. The back has minimal wear and looks great. There are two very light creases at the top right corner and bottom right corner that mirror each other on the back side. All the wear on front and back basically looks to be dust rub. No stains or foreign marks. There is a approx. 3/4" seam split at top right corner. The bottom seam at the left corner has a 2 1/4" seam scuff, IT IS NOT A SPLIT. It looks as if only the yellow laminate has been rubbed/scuffed off. It appears to be glued still. The spine looks to be in VG condition with everything legible. The bottom seam at the right corner has approx. 1" yellow laminate scuff . IT IS NOT A SPLIT. Please refer to my pictures for everything I've described. If you have questions, please ask.

Inner Sleeves : VG+, Plain white, slightly yellowed but real crisp.

Additional Comments: NO RESERVE.  I use Goldmine Standard Grading. Check my other auctions!! I will be letting go  of a original Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup "Mean Ole Frisco" album. That's all right mama!!!
