SKIP JAMES & SCRAPPER BLACKBALL & SON HOUSE etc. "THE ROOTS OF ROBERT JOHNSON" mono lp on Yazoo 1073 US issue (1989) NM/VG+. 

I would grade this LP NM, as it looks and plays pretty much as the day it was unsealed, with minimal play and minimal, if any, cosmetic marks. (Please keep in mind that some labels -- Crown, United, even a lot of Atlantic -- were recorded with less than state-of-the-art technology, my point being that some labels sound better than others.)  Cream of the crop. THIS IS A VINTAGE COPY (pre-2000).  ALL LPS COME TO YOU FRESHLY CLEANED AND PLAY READY. FOR MAXIMUM  RESULTS RE-CLEAN EACH SIDE  AFTER INITIAL PLAY (SOME OF MY LPS HAVE NOT BEEN PLAYED FOR 40 YRS. OR MORE). (VINYL LPS ARE A CONTACT SPORT. ALL VINYL (EVEN  IF JUST UNSEALED) HAS SOME SURFACE NOISE. IF YOU CAN’T ACCEPT THAT YOU SHOULD BE BUYING CDS) This was a great Yazoo release. It wasn't meant to in anyway diminish the genius of Robert Johnson but to instead put him in a human context. It shows that he listened and absorbed ideas from his peers and those that recorded before him. 78 

transcriptions. This has had very little play.

 

The Jacket: In blue ink, my initials back upper left, an x back lower left. A very functional jacket. I would rate the cover VG+ overall with light wear. Very nice!!!    (I only be citing things not visible in pictures)(I do not remove stickers unless they come off easily. I leave that for the buyer).
