Description
Great early press of this amazing blues powerhouse. ... that sound on this thing is phenomenal. ... and if you dig this, then you'll really dig the Howlin' Wolf copy of this era pressing as well ... an amazing couple of albums ready for the next blues weirdo.
See below for more detail:
VINYL: VG+ (8.0 of 10) Early pressing, Chess white/Blue label. Vinyl is pretty heavy. ... copy has some light surface scuffs (superficial), and maybe a light scratch or two. ... trust me, overall it's in amazing condition. Plays pretty amazing ... very light noise in between tracks maybe, but overall sounds loud, and really rad.
COVER: VG+ (7.0 of 10) Cover is pretty solid. Some slight waving, probably from humidity. No splits. Thick cardboard. Some general wear ... overall nice. _________________________________________________________________ Now the standard messages:
GRADING: Yes I use standard grading. HOWEVER, I will NEVER use the word "mint" or "near mint" to describe a used LP ... sorry, won't do it. The highest I go is VG+. I use a number after to more represent a combination of how the vinyl looks and how it sounds. 10 is the best. I'll describe what I see in addition. I've found the combination of these two can minimize expectation gaps. But ask questions when in doubt.
CLEANING: Yes. All vinyl is cleaned ... on my own machine I made. Vacuum machine. I wash and rinse with my own formula cleaners -- once with my enzyme cleaner, and rinsed with my own distilled water/alcohol formula. ... this process has worked for me for years.
TESTING: Yes. I've listened to the records I sell. I play on a Lenco L70, via Denon 103 MC cart; tube preamp, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to KLH 17 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
SHIPPING: $4.99 for anywhere Media Mail, domestic. Overseas is BY WEIGHT, so check that weight before bidding, you overseas-ers! LPs shipped in a proper box with plastic sleeve, and yes, vinyl shipped outside the sleeve.
RETURNS: Generally a no go, unless you have a damn compelling reason. But if there's a serious problem, I'm sure we can figure it out with a return. I mean, I am an adult ... allegedly. But I do describe accurately, offer time for questions, and I deal in used records, not new stuff ... yes, it's always kind of a gamble buying via eBay, which is why I try to do my best to make an objective attempt to describe the LP in question. ASK QUESTIONS WHEN IN DOUBT. I promise, we can make this an easy transaction
