Description
For sale is a beautiful original first pressing of Little Walter blues lp "The Best Of Little Walter," on the black deep groove Chess label, Chess 1428, with three titles above spindle holes and Sheldon Recording Studios Inc. at the bottom right of back cover.
Condition: Cover rates VG to VG+: some ringwear and general wear, strong seams except for tiny 1/3 inch split at bottom right. Vinyl rates VG+ on side one, NM on side two. Outstanding fidelity and a nearly flawlessly clean listen. A superior first press example of this rare and oft trashed lp.
My grading system:
STILL SEALED : Jacket imperfections, if any, will be described. Vinyl guaranteed to be in unplayed condition.
M : I don't use this grade, on the assumption that no record or jacket is truly flawless.
M- : Vinyl appears unplayed, jacket bears no signs of wear. I rarely, if ever, use this grade.
NM : Like M-, with possible scintilla/whiff of an imperfection
VG++ : May have a couple very minor imperfections. (superficial marks that have little or no bearing on sound.) Jacket may have a couple very minor flaws.
VG+ : Like VG++, but with a few more light imperfections
VG : Several light imperfections, and possibly one or two more serious ones, such as small feelable scratches. Still plays well.
VG- : Will display numerous minor imperfections and/or feelable scratches that affect playback quality. Between you and me, you could do better.
GOOD : What I consider pretty poor... numerous major imperfections. I generally don't sell items in this range unless they are of major significance.
