Take our word, this is one of the finest blues albums we have “discovered” in the past 20 years. We would say that this is the finest Howlin' Wolf album he NEVER recorded.

·                               CONDITION:

 

·                               RECORD

 

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

 

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS EXCELLENT. This is one of those albums that are somewhat difficult to grade. It is somewhere between VG++ and NEAR MINT, just a notch below NEAR MINT. A few light abrasions ARE visible, but they are extremely shallow, superficial  and only moderately visually distracting (nothing significant).For the most part, the vinyl looks impeccable without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

 

(b)          The record comes in the original stock inner sleeve.

 

(c)           The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

 

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

 

 

·       COVER (THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, LAMINATED, GLOSSY COVER):

 

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD++ (VG++).

 

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

 

-        Cover has a small cutout hole in one of the corners

 

-        Back cover has some light, faint yellowish stains, probably from exposure to humidity , covering about 25% of the surface  (VISIBLE ON BACK SIDE ONLY) .

 

-         Cover has two corners slightly dinged (nothing significant)

 

-         Cover shows JUST A HINT of yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging.

 

-         Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 3  (VISIBLE ON BACK SIDE ONLY)

 

-         Back cover has a small, rectangular, sticker residue (small yellowish discoloration from the removed price sticker)

 

-         Cover has a minor 'bump' (dent) on the opening side  (VISIBLE ON BACK SIDE ONLY)
