Description

Please read the shipping section below before bidding.

Magic Sam was one of the great Chicago blues players.  He was a superb guitarist with a unique style and sound.  I love listening to this guy play, and there is plenty of opportunity to experience his prowess on this album.  Unfortunately, this bluesman died of a heart attack when he was only 32.  This is a fantastic remembrance of the joy he played with!  It is his scintillating second album.  Check out the credits.  You’ll see some of Chicago’s greatest with him here.  There is Eddie Shaw on tenor, Lafayette Leake on piano, Mighty Joe Young on guitar, Mack Thompson on bass, and Odie Payne on drums.  The album was released on the Japanese Delmark label in 1976, number PA-6216.  This is a reissue of the album originally released in 1968.  The insert with lyrics, in English, and liner notes, in Japanese, is included. The vinyl is in pristine condition with its bright original luster and no scratches or scuffs.  It plays with virtually no background noise.  The vinyl grades NM. The album cover shows no ring wear and no corner or edge wear.  All seams are clean, sharp, tight, and intact.  The cover grades NM.

Grading Information

I always clean and then listen to every record I list on eBay.  I do this to make sure I can give as accurate a description of each record as possible.  I will do both a visual check and an audio check.  I absolutely attempt to give as objective a grading as I can.  I don’t ever want you to be disappointed in the quality of the album you receive. 

I use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

We are beginning to experience disruptions in shipping, both in the United States and internationally.  Several US Postal Service distribution centers are closed because of funding cuts and politics.  I will continue to ship within 24 hours of receipt of your payment.  However, delivery times will potentially be impacted.  If you are concerned about these delays, shipping Priority Mail is an option, though will be more expensive.  If you would like me to ship your package at the Priority Mail rate just let me know and I will send you an updated invoice.  Combined shipping is still an option, but I apologize.  I can’t guarantee one price on Priority Mail.  The shipping cost will be based on the weight of your package.  For Media Mail, shipping is $4.00 in the continental U.S.  In addition, I will happily combine records from multiple auctions to reduce total shipping cost.  In fact, I welcome it!  Shipping will be $4.00 in the U.S regardless of the number of auctions won in any 5-day period. 

As of January 26, 2020, all international shipping rates have gone up 25%.  Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings.  The first album will be shipped for $21.  Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country.  Typically the cost per album will be no more than $25.  Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.

Thank you   for looking and please contact me with any questions.
