Item Description:

MUDDY WATERS: 'Folk Singer' LP

Chess LP-1483 LP, made in US, not dated (1964). Album is play graded.

Record: Strong VG-, with some light scratches and light scuffs/needle trails. No warps, skips or other defects. Labels are very good with a few light spindle marks.
Cover: VG-, with moderate general wear, some light staining/discoloration and splits on the top and bottom edges.

This is a good copy of the 1964 Chess Records 'Folk Singer' album by Muddy Waters. This legendary album has a great backing group with Buddy Guy (guitar), Willie Dixon (bass) and Clifton James (drums). Great songs too: "My Home is in the Delta", "Big Leg Woman" and "Good Morning Little School Girl".      

This copy is a rare original 1964 first pressing (black label with color logo above the hole) in mono. It has some noise in a few spots, but nothing drastic. Very cool and collectible.


USPS Media mail shipping: $4.50

GRADING

M = MINT. Absolutely perfect in every way - never played. I rarely use this grade.

NM = NEAR MINT. A nearly perfect record. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. The LP jacket should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other signs of use. The same should be true of inserts, lyric sheets, posters, etc.

NM- = NEAR MINT MINUS. This is a grade of my own devising. The record will show signs that it was played, but rarely. Record surfaces may have very light needle trails or very light scuffs, but NO scratches or warps. The LP jacket may have very light wear, but NO cut-out holes, cut corners or saw cuts.

VG+ = VERY GOOD PLUS. The record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner(s) who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show slight signs of wear and may have slight warps, slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't significantly affect the listening experience. The LP jacket may have some signs of wear and may be marred by a cut-out hole/cut corner/saw cut..

VG = VERY GOOD. Many of the condition issues found on a VG+ record will be more pronounced on a VG record. Some surface noise will be evident upon playing. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches (deep enough to be felt with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. LP jackets may have writing, tape or stickers/labels/tags. Other signs of wear may also be evident.

VG- = VERY GOOD MINUS. Similar to a VG record, but with more obvious condition issues. Surface noise from light scratches or groove wear will be present, but the record will not have skips. LP jackets will have multiple signs of wear. Not collectible, but may serve as a play copy.

All items are packed carefully and shipped in cardboard shipping containers. I assume no responsibility for package once it has been shipped.
