GERTRUDE "MA" RAINEY "MOTHER OF THE BLUES VOL. 1" Imp. mono lp on Riverside RM 8807 Netherlands issue (1960's) EX/VG+.I would grade this LP  Excellent. It plays like pretty much like a near mint lp but has cosmetic marks that, while they don’t affect play, I consider to be too pronounced to rate it higher.  So essentially, you have an LP that pretty much plays like a near mint lp but has some visible sleeve scuffs or some phantom lines that don’t affect play, but are plainly visible. Lots of shine and beautiful overall.  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)

The Jacket: a very functional jacket I would grade VG+ overall with seam and corner wear. Very nice euro style gatefold full of great notes, lyrics etc. (I will only be citing things not visual in the photos). (I do not remove stickers unless they come off easily. I leave that for the buyer).

. ! US buyers (attached 49 states), for single lp, pay Media rate $5.00 which includes p&h, or Priority rate $12.00 which includes p&h.  Paypal  seems to be  the only payment option Ebay now accepts. For other USPS service please contact me. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU INSURE YOUR PURCHASE.  Postage to international airmail customers out of US will range from $13.50-16.50(Canada) to 21.00-23.00 Europe & Asia with additional lps adding  $5.00 to 6.00 each, up to FOUR lps. These prices are determined by weight and destination.  No extra USPS services are available to  international customers. Combined shipping to all destinations will result in a lower rate per item. I sell with a "Customer Satisfaction" guarantee FOR THE VINYL ONLY NOT SHIPPING COSTS (does not apply to foreign shipments lost by over-seas postal services: I take no  responsibility for items lost by International post offices). Payments should be made within SEVEN days of purchase or item will be re-listed.
