PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

RARE 1966 ORIGINAL
IN GLORIOUS MONO!
Sonny Boy Williamson
USA - STAR CLUB - MERCURY - MG 231071 - MONO
HARD TO FIND....Original MONO 1966 first pressing of the legendary album featuring a young Eric Clapton on guitar, recorded at the Craw-Daddy club in London...
The punchy MONO production adds to the overall bold sound of the recording....much better than the stereo issue
Sonny Boy Williamson was, in many ways, the ultimate blues legend. By the time of his death in 1965, he had been around long enough to have played with Robert Johnson at the start of his career and Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Robbie Robertson at the end of it. In between, he drank a lot of whiskey, hoboed around the country, had a successful radio show for 15 years, toured Europe to great acclaim and simply wrote, played and sang some of the greatest blues ever etched into black phonograph records. His delivery was sly, evil and world-weary, while his harp-playing was full of short, rhythmic bursts one minute and powerful, impassioned blowing the next. His songs were chock-full of mordant wit, with largely autobiographical lyrics that ... Sonny Boy Williamson & the Yardbirds was recorded in England at the Star Club and the Crawdaddy Club."Bye, Bye, Bird" is a lively and brief opening number of harp funtastics by Sonny Boy, and then it's right into: "Mister Downchild" with some brisk lead guitar by Eric that is played off Sonny Boy's harp. "Pontiac Blues" is our favorite cut on thisalbum. Sonny Boy, gives the performance of the night on this one. The vocals are chilling. This IS the blues as only the master can perform them and you are not going hear it done this way any more, This is the REAL DEAL...Delta Blues with the young and spikey Yardbirds, hanging on Sonny's every note.
The Yarbirds, "Do The Weston", is the Band, without Sonny Boy and features some nice leads by the Young Eric Clapton with Keith blowing his harp. This is: "Pre-Rave-Up" Yardbirds, and and is a pioneer sound to the later sixties London Blues Revoulution that included John Mayall and Peter Green's, Fleetwood Mac.
Bye Bye Bird Mister Downchild 23 Hours Too Long Out on the Water Coast Baby Don't Worry Pontiac Blues Take It Easy Baby I Don't Care No More Do the WestonCONDITION: The cover: Strong and solid with bold original colors, VG++ having just a little bit of shelf wear starting that should not be a problem for most collectors...the back cover is snow white and EXcellent. there are no split seams, no bends, no writing....
