CONDITION:
VINYL:
This LP has been played but lightly and with great care. The grooves are clean, glossy and shiny. A few minor paper scuffs might be detected but nothing significant was seen, nor were any scratches seen visually. We did not listen to the entire album but we did sample portions of each cut. The LP plays remarkably well with detected skips and no more noise than is normal from items this old. Old Mono LP's were produced with more density so that helps in keeping the noise to a minimum as you listen. There is minimal spindle scarring which usually hints at how much play the record has seen. Overall, visually and aurally, this is a strong copy of a wonderful 60's Delta Blues classic. We are placing it inside a generic new sleeve.
COVER:
No stickers, holes or writing. Notable cover issues include fading and wear of the black color scheme most visible around the edges, corners as well as the spine. One of the corners (upper left) is worse than others. No significant seam splits other than a very small one associated with the corner just mentioned. The spine has dings but it is intact with a few dings making part of the text difficult to read. There is also a sticky spot on the upper front cover which might have been the result of a sticker although none was present when the seller acquired this and other similar LP's from their original owner. No attempt was made to improve that or any other condition issues. It actually present very well as the multiple photos will confirm. The rear cover looks great and the front cover is not perfect but it certainly looks and feels clean and strong, making for an overall strong visual impression. Lots of photos will confirm the condition.

We do not always listen or grade but we do offer as much visible information as possible. We always take multiple clear, close photos and invite questions about quality or version of an item in advance of bidding. Please await our invoice prior to payment. This is particularly important with international purchases as the value of the final price effects the method of shipment. See below.
