Description
Memphis Slim & Willie Dixon Songs of Memphis Slim & Willie Dixon Vinyl LP - Folkways FA 2385 VG Mono First Pressing (1960)
Condition: Very Good Vinyl and Very Good Cover. Vinyl was play-tested pn both sides and plays very well with great fidelity and occasional light background noise. Cover is intact with good color and a small emerging split on top seam. Blue and silver labels with deep groove. A blues classic!
AllMusic User Review: This might seem minimalistic or "after hours" and "intimate" at first glance with just piano and upright bass, but appearances often deceive as these two blues masters soar in a fantastic session consisting of Dixon originals full of energy and passion. Slim's piano is every bit as virtuosic as Albert Ammons' or Pete Johnson's and Willie Dixon's bass has such a gravitas and urgency that it is at times reminiscent of Charles Mingus to say nothing about the vocals by both Slim and Dixon that perfectly complement each other. This is one of the best blues albums you're likely to ever come across and should be in every blues lover's collection.

_____________________________________________
I use the Goldmine Grading System, and play-test all records. I note any differences between vinyl and cover, and make note of any inserts, special sleeves, or potential defects.
MINT (M) - Absolutely perfect in every way. Most often this is a still sealed record, records that have been opened are rarely if ever marked as Mint.
NEAR MINT (NM) - A good description is that it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time. In other words, it?s nearly perfect, with no visible defects.
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) - Except for a couple minor things, this could be Near Mint. Most collectors will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if on the high end (VG++). VG+ records may show slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Covers should have only minor wear.
VERY GOOD (VG) - VG records are among the biggest bargains, and for many, will be worth the money. They can lack the original gloss, may have surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages. But the noise will not overpower the music. VG covers will have signs of handling, and may have minor splits.
GOOD PLUS (G+) - Good+ does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, but it has significant surface noise and groove wear. Cover may have significant ring wear, noticeable writing, or obvious damage.
GOOD (G) - Record may have some skipping, but is otherwise listenable. I generally avoid selling Good (G) rated records unless they are highly collectible or desirable, in order to enjoy until something better comes along. Cover has major wear or seam splits that need repair, or heavy writing like radio station call letters to prevent theft.
