Description
One of the greatest live blues albums of all time available here as a OG Monarch 1st US press from 1968. The vinyl is in EX condition and plays beautifully with deep tubey analog sound that puts you right in the audience. Albert's guitar tone is god-like and the rhythm section is full, spacious sound. Only thing keeping it from NM are two light marks that do not affect playback. Cover is in really nice shape for the age with tight seams and EX spine and only a hint of ringwear. This is a rare gem. If you are a fan of Albert King and don't have this yet, don't hesitate. You won't regret.
All records cleaned prior to shipment on my new Degritter 2 Ultrasonic record cleaning machine. Will be shipped with archival inner sleeve to protect original printed inner, with record placed outside of the jacket and all contained/protected 3 mil plastic sleeve. Shipped securely in premium record mailer (Mighty Music Mailers) with corner protection to ensure safe arrival to your home.
I combine shipping to save you money whenever possible for multiple items purchased at same time.

New/Sealed
Jacket sealed in shrink wrap; Record unplayed. Disc sold ungraded or "as is".
NM
Under bright light, appears unplayed or only played with great care and looks new. Only the very finest examples make this grade. Should be void of scratches.
EX
Under bright light, may have one or two slight, but visible imperfections (i.e. sleeve scuffs, faint ‘hairline’ scratches, or other superficial marks) that will not affect play. Overall, very clean. May play as good as a Near Mint record, but visibly has minor imperfections.
VG+
Several visible imperfections. Has seen more wear and play than the higher grades, but still overall a very nice record. May have sleeve light unfeel-able scratches, or other superficial marks.
VG
I only list VG records if a very rare record. VG will show signs of improper care and will possibly have some deeper, feel-able scratch(es) that makes audible noise upon playback. Generally meant to be either a starter copy or purchased to get a sense of sound quality of a particular pressing. Expect noticeable background noise.
