Description

Here is a MEGA RARE album from my collection offered up for sale:  Rhythm and Blues master Johnny Watson's self titled album "Johnny Guitar Watson", released in 1963 on Chess 857 (mono), this is a 1st pressing with heavy vinyl and black and silver "Long Play" labels with misprint "Bincent" (should be Vincent), has wear to the cover, disc has marks but still plays great! 
Johnny Watson played with Little Richard and Bobby Bland, he played guitar, piano, saxophone and drums, WOW! This is his 3rd album of mostly original songs. Fantastic music and great expressive vocals with hit songs "Gangster of Love", "Cuttin' In", "I Just Wants Me Some Love" and more, GREAT album!
The vinyl rates VG/VG+, is clean and still has a nice gloss, has numerous light marks and a few small more moderate ones, has been PLAY TESTED. Plays from start to finish with very good sound quality, bright clear sound with a few light pops, no skips or jumps, a very enjoyable listen! 
The cover rates G, only front slick has torn spot/scrape and most of Johnny's face is still visible, top and bottom seams had partial splits neatly re-glued (old tape removed, marks visible), binder edge is still mostly readable, has a few small light stains and back has light age discoloration, all info on back readable, no signatures or writing. (see all photos)
Will be shipped in a .3 ml plastic sleeve inside a record mailing box with tracking. The vinyl will be shipped in baggie inner sleeve outside the cover to prevent cover splits. This item will be double boxed for extra protection. Check my eBay Store "Groove Vibrations Vintage Records" for other cool album gems! Buy more than one item from our list at one time and we will ship them together, saving money on shipping. Thanks for looking!
