Format: 12" 33rpm lp
Artist: Lonnie Johnson

Title: Lonesome Road

Label/Catalog #: King 395-520

Mono/Stereo:Mono
Details:   Very rare 1st pressing with deep groove lables. This lp has been cleaned on a Klaudio ultrasonic cleaner.


Record condition:  This would be VG+ but has one quick skip at the very beginning.  You will only miss two words ("look down") and a couple guitar notes.  After this the whole album plays very well, VG+.  No audio distortion and Lonnie's beautiful vibrato on is on full display.

Cover:   Strong VG   Back cover is incredibly white and shows a lack of aging, but has some writing.  Front cover is faded at opening edge.  Seams are in great shape with some light wear, nothing serious.

Labels: See photos
