Description

Howlin' Wolf featuring Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Bill Wyman, and Charlie Watts.

First pressing on red, white and blue label.

Artist(s): Howlin' Wolf Title: The London Howlin' Wolf Sessions Record Grading: VG+ Cover (Sleeve) Grading: VG

Condition: Gatefold cover worn on edges, split 4" on top and slightly on bottom. Replacement inner sleeve. Vinyl shows one long shallow scratch on side 2 tracks 1-3, also some light abrasion marks. Rest of record shows only minimal abrasion, some very light scratches, retains very high sheen. Labels and hole undamaged; sticker on side 2 label. Hand-cleaned; play-checked: very clean, with minimal background static. Good clear studio-recording quality, well balanced. Scratch on side two causes low-volume repeating tic, but no strong pops, no skips. Rest of vinyl - occasional low volume tics, noticeable between tracks. Plays through cleanly; static does not seriously degrade sound.

Shipping: Your record album will be shipped in a new shipping box sandwiched between cardboard inserts. Vinyl will be packaged outside of album cover if unsealed to prevent seam splits. I offer combined shipping and regular free shipping promotions. If the amount you are charged for shipping doesn't seem right, please ask me for an invoice before you pay.
