Otis Spann-The Biggest Thing Since Colossus-Chicago Blues Vinyl LP-w/Peter Green

This Blues Hall Of Fame bluesman is widely considered to be the greatest blues pianist of the last 100 years.  He recorded with the greats of the Chicago blues scene during the 50’s and 60’s, and also recorded some of the best piano blues albums you will ever hear.  The man had a powerful voice, but his piano playing is simply mind blowing.  This is his album though he is accompanied by several members of my favorite British Blues band, Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac.  Each performer here had previously worked together when Fleetwood Mac was in Chicago for their legendary Blues Jam sessions.  It’s no surprise that they enjoyed working so much together.  It’s also no surprise that they decided to record together.  They met in New York City very soon after the Chicago sessions and recorded this fabulous collection.  Peter Green’s spellbinding guitar is prevalent throughout.  The album was released on Blue Horizon in 1969, number BH-4802.  This is the original release of the album. The vinyl is in exceptional condition with its bright original luster and just a few very light surface scratches and paper scuffs that barely impact play.  It plays beautifully with almost no background noise.  The vinyl grades VG.  The album cover shows light ring wear and light corner and edge wear.  All seams are sharp, tight, and intact.  The cover grades VG+.

Grading Information

I only 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

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. Canada shipping rates have gone up dramatically. The first album will be shipped for $16.  Additional albums will be shipped for $4 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 $21 and each subsequent is just an additional $5.00. 

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.
