Robert Jr. Lockwood and Johnny Shines – Dust My Broom –NM Chicago Blues Vinyl LP

$

20

Lockwood was given a special gift early in life.  Robert Johnson lived with his mother for almost ten years and taught Lockwood how to play guitar.  He is the only known individual to have that distinction, and his moniker of Robert Jr. is a result of that connection.  He was clearly a great student because he became an exceptional guitarist.  He is best known for his recordings with Johnny Shines and with Sonny Boy Williamson. This is a spectacular collaboration with his dear friend, Johnny Shines, an exceptional guitarist and vocalist in his own right.  The two take turns throughout this great album.  The playing here is sensational, as are the vocals.  It’s a fabulous collection!  This album was released on the British Flyright label in 1980, number FLY 563.  This is the original release of the album.  The vinyl is in pristine condition with its bright original luster and no scratches or scuffs.  It plays with virtually no background noise. The vinyl grades NM.  The album cover shows a tiny hint of ring wear and no corner or edge wear.  All seams are clean, sharp, tight, and intact.  There is a crease at the upper right corner.  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 more 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.
