We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

RARE....1972 FIRST PRINTING
John Lee Hooker
With
John Mayall
And
The GROUNDHOGS
USA - (PRIVATE) - CLEVE RECORDS
MINT CLEAN VINYL !!!
Rare & sought after 1972 original first printing, and hard to find in any condition ... does not often turn up!
The legendary blues guitar/vocalist John Lee Hooker would make a trip to Europe in the 1960s. On one tour he was booked with (Peter Green era) John Mayall's Bluesbreakers as a backing band... He also met a guitarist named Tony McPhee, whose band The Groundhogs had been named for a Hooker composition, "Groundhog Blues". The band proved to fit well with Hooker and they worked with him on the hard to find collectible album "The Groundhogs With John Lee Hooker And John Mayall" (1968, Cleve Records).
Tony McPhee and the Groundhogs played with John Lee Hooker in June of 1968, when John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers were unable to fulfill a commitment to back Hooker on the final week of his British tour. The Groundhogs were deputized on the spot and played their first show with him at the Twisted Wheel in Manchester. At the end of the week, Hooker told McPhee how much he liked working with his band and agreed to record an album with the Groundhogs. The band was Tony McPhee on guitar, Peter Cruickshank on bass, Dave Boorman on drums, and John Mayall on keyboards. The result a tiny hardly ever distributed album on the obscure Cleve label... The sound is raw, tight, and raunchy, some of the best band-backed recordings of Hooker's career. He's notoriously difficult to play support for because of the spontaneity of his work, but these guys keep up and then some, adding engaging flourishes and grace notes. Hooker is in excellent voice, and his material is as strong as any album in his output, rough, dark, and moody. The ominous, surging "Storming On The Deep Blue Sea" is worth the price of admission all by itself, while other tracks are even louder and more savage (like that ever mattered with The Hook ).
