PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER).  OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.


ULTRA RARE COMPLETE SERIES of Living Chicago Blues from 1980 on Alligator records with six LPs in total!!!  Featuring eighteen different acts, this series is a veritable Yellow Pages of the era's vibrant blues scene in Chicago.  LPs are a beautiful near mint minus with the exception of Volume 3, which is VG++ with a light scuff at the end of side B.  Covers are all VG++ with the exception of Volumes 3 and 1 with a small light crease in the bottom right hand corner and Volume 2 with a small name in the top right hand corner on the front cover only.  Buying every LP in this series individually would cost $24.00 minimum in shipping ALONE so don't sleep blues collectors.  Incredibly hard to find a complete series in this condition.


I USE GOLDMINE GRADING: MINT (SEALED)
NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++:  VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE
VG+:  AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG:  STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS
GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR:  FILLER COPY ONLY.  LOTS OF SCRATCHES
