The Best Of Freddie King – Electric Blues-Texas Blues-Memphis Blues Vinyl LP

$

21

Along with Albert and B.B., Freddie King is considered one of the “Three Kings Of The Blues”.  His guitar playing prowess has inspired blues guitarists from both the US and UK for years.  This compilation album pulls together some of his best work from the peak of his incredible career.  The album was released on Shelter in 1975, number SR-2140.  This is the original release of the album.  The vinyl is in absolutely beautiful condition with its bright original luster and just a couple of barely discernible surface scratches that barely impact play.  It plays with almost no background noise.  The vinyl grades VG+.  The album cover shows ring wear and corner and edge wear.  All seams show a bit of wear but are sharp, tight, and intact.  The top right corner has been snipped.  The cover grades VG.

Grading Information

I 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 two 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.  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.  The first album will be shipped for $21.  Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds 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. 

Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country.  Typically the cost per album will be no more than $25.  Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.

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.
