Description
ROBERT JOHNSON - King of the Delta Blues singers vol II - EX UK CBS LP A1/B1
After a brief rest and the sale of a few from my classical collection, I am now back to shifting some more rock / pop / psych / folk etc..
These records are all from my personal collection built up over almost 50 years. Some were bought new, others pre-owned so condition will vary. Please do read and understand the detailed description which is my honest personal assessment - you can always check how good or bad that is by checking my feedback. My attempt at grading is based on the commonly used Record Collector grading system. Questions are welcome if anything is unclear. Happy bidding
Anyway, this listing is for a nice copy of the second Johnson CBS album, completing his recorded work
Robert Johnson
King of the Delta Blues singers vol II
UK CBS orange label
1970
Cat Number: 64102 matrix A1/B1
Mode: Mono
The Album:
The great Robert Johnson - member of the '27 club' who like Joplin, Hendrix, Morrison, Cobain etc. died at that young age and with but 29 recorded songs to his name. Here are 16 of them on this CBS original. The recordings date from 1936, so don't expect state-of-the-art production, this is raw delta blues at its primitive best
Condition:
Cover: Single Shorewood unlaminated sleeve is pretty good. It is strong and intact with some edge wear and light ring wear. No tears stickers or writing. Legible spine text despite the rubbing.
Labels: Bright, clean, no stickers or writing. Just a few spindle marks. Excellent
Vinyl: Nice vinyl with good lustre. Just the usual expected faint paper scrapes and a couple of short hairlines. It plays excellently throughout with just an occasional pop.
A very nice copy of this album - I'd guess it might be professionally graded at (cover/vinyl) VG / EX
Terms:
Please note that I try to test-play at least part of each record before listing, but do not have time to play fully in all cases. I just played a lot of this one, but if you do discover a problem which I might have missed, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do all I can to rectify the situation.
Postage: Within UK revised weight ranges usually allow up to three LPs to be posted for the same cost as one. For all other destinations costs are weight dependent, but incremental cost from additional LP's will normally cost less than the first. I am happy to hold records for a while if you wish to bid on more and combine shipment, but it helps if you can let me know particularly when bidding on items separated by a few days. Approximate prices for normal postage & packing -
UK £3.35 for up to 1kg (1,2 or 3 average weight LPs).
Europe £5.30 normal airmail, £10.60 signed-for. + £1.45 each additional,
Rest of world £7.55 normal airmail, £12.85 signed-for. + £2.70 each additional item
These amounts include actual Royal Mail cost for first class or air mail, plus 35p for cost of packaging material (a brand new custom mailer with stiffener). The greedy snouts in the trough at Ebay now charge sellers 10% of postage costs for which there can be no justification - I refuse to pass this shameful levy on to buyers, so you only pay post and packing.
Apologies, but owing to unreliability of some postal services, I will not ship to Italy, Russian Federation, & other former Soviet countries unless a signed for service is selected and paid for.
Losses: Royal Mail have reduced maximum compensation to £20 unless items are signed-for. Compensation on signed-for shipments is up to £50. Overseas purchasers - if your purchase is well over £20, a signed for service must be selected when paying or shipping will be at your own risk, not mine, and normal airmail will only be covered for up to £20.
Payment by Sterling cheque / money order, or via Paypal
I have decided to sell my whole vinyl collection as I know it won't be appreciated by my daughter or grandchildren, so I'm shifting it myself and hope I find good homes for it. Listed items are selected at random so there should be a decent if not particularly logical mix coming up over the next few months if you keep an eye on my other items now and in the future.
Thank you to all who have already given new homes to my precious vinyl, and may you continue to enjoy these records for years to come.
