Otis Rush - This One's A Good 'Un

(Blue Horizon M7-63222 UK Mono LP 1969)

 

This is a 1969 UK 1st pressing Mono LP. It has a heavyweight front laminated sleeve. It comes with its original generic company plain paper inner sleeve. The record is pressed on thick vinyl & has smooth pale blue "Blue Horizon" labels. The record has 1st press A-1/ B-1 matrix stampers. 

These recordings are from the 1956-1958 period. It includes several alternative takes. It was released as part of Blue Horizon's "Post War Masters" series of LP's. It is an excellent mid to late 1950's Chicago Blues/ Electric Blues LP. I have some other rare & collectible original 1960's & 1970's Blues & Rock LP's for sale too. So please see my other listings. 

Sleeve: There is some mild, very mild or more moderate rubbing wear to the corner tips. There is some light, mild or very mild rubbing wear on the sleeve opening edges on some areas. This is not too noticeable. There is a very mild 4 cm hairline laminate crease on the front sleeve. There are about 5 small & light hairline creases at the spine area. Otherwise, the spine is in very nice condition. There is some light, mild or very mild rubbing wear on the rear sleeve on some areas. There is some light, mild or very mild ringwear on some areas. Overall, Very Good+ condition.

Vinyl: There is a very light 10 cm hairline surface sleeve rub mark on Side 1. This is not too noticeable under a strong light. There are about 5 other light or very mild hairline surface marks across both sides. These are mainly very small & measure from 0.5 cm to 4 cm in length. One of these surface marks goes around the groove slightly. There is a very small area of more moderate surface sleeve rubs, or surface rub marks, on Side 1. Otherwise, there are some light, mild, very mild or very minor sleeve rubs which can hardly be seen under a strong light. The original paper inner sleeve, over time, has left some light, very mild or very minor dull surface marks on some areas. These, again, can hardly be seen under a strong light. Overall, Very Good condition. The labels are in Very Near Excellent condition and show mild or very mild spindle wear only. The company paper inner sleeve is in Very Good+ condition. It shows light, mild or very mild ringwear, fading & creasing. It has no seam splits.

I have play tested this LP in its entirety & it plays Very Good to Very Good+ overall, & Near Excellent to Excellent in some places. There is some light, mild, very mild or very minor crackle in some quieter places. There are a few intermittent light or very mild clicks on the 2nd track on Side 1. Overall, a very decent audio copy!

    >>  Grading Information All grading is very strict & adheres to 'Record Collector' specifications. However, I have fine tuned them & they are explained below. All vinyl is examined closely under a strong light & play tested on excellent quality audio equipment.

MINT Condition = This is as perfect a copy as you are likely to find. The cover will show no, or next to no, wear. The vinyl will be unplayed or very, very near unplayed.

NEAR MINT Condition = Nearly mint, just slightly under. There maybe some minor paper/ inner sleeve rubs that can barely be seen under strong light. This disc has been played only a few times & has been extremely well  cared for. The cover is nearly perfect - Very minimal wear only.

EXCELLENT Condition = An excellent copy will show only mild, or minor, signs of use. There will be light, or very mild, sleeve rubs that can hardly be seen under strong light. There may be a very small & minor hairline mark in some instances. Play, in most cases, will be excellent or better. There may be some light, or very light, crackle in a few quieter places. The sleeve will show mild, or minor, rubbing wear & ringwear only.

NEAR EXCELLENT Condition = This has been played a few more times but it has been well cared for. There will be mild sleeve rubs which can be seen under a strong light. There may be a couple of minor, or light, hairline marks. Playback will be generally excellent or better. There may be some light, mild or very mild crackle in some quieter places. The cover will show mild rubbing wear, ringwear or creasing

Very Good Condition = Most records that have been quite well played, but reasonably well cared for, tend to fit into this category. This is probably the most varied of the gradings so I have elaborated below.

There may be mild to more moderate sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. There may be a few light hairline marks but nothing too bad. A quite well played but serviceable copy. Playback will be very agreeable overall. There will be light, mild or very mild crackle in some places. There may also be a few light clicks. A more thorough description will always be on the listing. The record will certainly not be trashed!

The cover will show more noticeable signs of storage or use. There will be mild to more moderate rubbing wear on some edges There could be fading, ringwear or a minor seam split. There could be some mild creasing or mild sticker tears.

Please note that I also use "+" or "-" symbols for this grading. A plus symbol is obviously at the top end of "Very Good" & is really not too far from being in "Near Excellent" condition. The minus symbol obviously means it is at the lower end. This will mean that it is near to being in "Good+" condition. 
>>  Postage Rates

AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT TO YOU VERY SOON AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS. PLEASE WAIT FOR THIS BEFORE PAYING.

(Please note that these prices include packaging costs too) 
Double LPs are classed as two LPs. Also gatefold sleeves, posters, inserts, etc.. can increase postage costs.

Please note that there are now VAT import charges from the UK into all EU countries. Anything under 150 Euros will need an IOSS number. VAT is paid at point of sale. For any items over 150 Euros in value. There will be a customs charge too. These vary, I believe, from country to country. Please check your relevant postal service online for details. Please note that these charges are beyond my control and are the law for outside parcels going into the EU.

All records will be sent in high quality vinyl box/ mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7" Single. I use a cruciform box for larger orders (3-6 LPs). All parcels will be marked "Fragile" and dispatch time will generally be between 1-3 days after payment.

I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve & place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve; I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve & place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP(s).

I consider my postage & packaging costs to be very transparent & very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between £0.80 to £1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...

If you are uncertain about any of the above, or just simply want some information regarding any item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome any questions.

Remember to check out Lots of rare & quality vinyl! Most are UK 1st Pressings. It is quite likely that there will be more records by this artist, or records in a similar vein.
