Description
About This Record. This is a first press Original black label (!!!) copy of Sonny Boy Williamson's Blues masterpiece released on Checker Records LP-1437 in 1957 or thereabouts entitled "Down and Out Blues" with the ultimate cool blues cover. Was the photo of Sonny? Please see the details below about the cover, vinyl, labels and everything else you might want to know.
PLEASE CHECK my Feedback which will show you my grading, Cover/Vinyl, of other LPs I have recently sold and what the lucky people who bought them think of them and our experience. The photos of the labels or cover list the songs and any possible details about the labels.
I offer full refund including shipping both ways (for USA and foreign buyers in case for some wildly strange reason you might be unhappy with this purchase). Comes cleaned on my KL Audio Ultrasonic Record Cleaner and placed in a new dust-free sleeve for your grandchildren. And at least one plastic sleeves for moisture protection (for you and me).
Cover Condition: STRONG Very Good (VG) cover with about two inches of seam splits on the top and bottom seams near the opening edge, and general shelf wear on the seams. The writing on the spine is perfectly legible, but some spine damage near the corners that have light to medium corner dings. There is also a scrape(s) on the top of the LP near the middle to the left of "Check LP 1437" but it is not too bad. Overall, still a nice enough cover for this monster blues rarity. Please see all my Photos. I didn't take them for fun and frolic.
Vinyl Condition: STRONG Very Good Plus (VG+). Nice keeper vinyl with just light visual marks. Conservatively graded, close to EX; doubt there is a nicer one out there.
Labels. Excellent (EX) labels. Please see photos of all labels.
Inserts: Comes with original plain white (Now brown) paper inner sleeve. but no worries, the LP comes cleaned on my KL Audio Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Machine and in a new rice paper sleeve equivalent.
Packaging. I clean all vinyl on my KL Audio Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Machine and place it in a new innersleeve so the old dust does not reattach; but I also include the innersleeve that came with the LP if it is the original. I separate the vinyl in its new sleeve after cleaning from the cover, and place the cover and the separately packed vinyl in at least one if not two plastic innersleeves that help protect against moisture damage during this cool records transition to your record collection. I use sturdy carboard containers with real corners and pack with at least two insert stiffeners, and I place neon stickers on the front and back of the package indicating “Do Not Bend” and/or “Fragile” or something like that to help facilitate a safe passage.
Shipping and Payment. PayPal only. I ship promptly worldwide; sometimes the automatic eBay invoice does not have accurate shipping if you buy more than one LP, so if you are unsure email me and ask for an invoice. . . . I offer full refund on this record including shipping both ways, unless you live outside North America in which case I will refund you shipping one way unless I made a mistake which I sometimes do because I am only human.. CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS: Please add sales tax!
