Muddy Waters – Fathers And Sons – Double Chicago Blues Vinyl LP

$

23

This was Muddy Waters’ most commercially successful album.  He recorded it with support from a group of incredibly talented musicians.  The list of artists on this album is certainly a Blues Hall Of Fame cast:  Michael Bloomfield on guitar, Paul Butterfield on harmonica, Otis Spann on piano, Sam Lay and Buddy Miles on drums, and many more.  The album contains both studio (album one) and live (album two) recordings, and each is beautifully done!  The album was released on Chess in 1969, number LPS 127.  This is the original release of the album.  The vinyl is in beautiful condition with its bright original luster and just a few light surface scratches that do not significantly impact play.  Side one has a few scratches that produce just light sporadic background noise and a few small tics.  The other three sides have just a couple of very light surface scratches that barely impact play, and play with almost no background noise.  Side one grades VG.  The other three sides grades VG+.  The gatefold album shows ring wear and corner and edge wear including a one inch split at the top of the spine.  The other seams show wear but are sharp, tight, and intact.  The cover grades VG.

Grading Information

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.  Very 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

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 $19.  Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to five albums 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. 

The Canada cost determination also applies for all other International shipping, except that the first album is shipped for $27 and each subsequent is just an additional $10. 

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.  Payment by PayPal is preferred.
