New and sealed.

Blind Owl Wilson was a truly great guitarist and vocalist whose deep well of psychedelic blues songs were buried amongst the catalog of major label rockin' blues band Canned Heat. Blind Owl served as Canned Heat's guitarist and would chip in a song here and there as a front man. A couple of those songs became huge hits in the 60's - "Going Up The Country" and "On The Road Again". Blind Owl's songs for Canned Heat stood in stark contrast to the bands blustery blues rock - his was a gentle and nuanced voice and the themes of his song were all about personal heartbreak, grasping for cosmic understanding, and ecological justice. Here we have an LP of Blind Owl's songs from Canned Heat's records - left to sit alone and take you somewhere unexpected. Blind Owl's personal vision quest can be heard throughout these songs. "Poor Moon' tells the tale of Alan's heartbreak as he watches the moon being misguidedly bombed by man, 'My Time Ain't Long' confronts death, and oh yes, we have the hit tunes on here too. Co-release with Sutro Park records. A true psychedelic masterpiece!

Ratings:  Mint-Absolutely perfect and usually still sealed.

NM-A nearly perfect record. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. The sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.  The jacket should have no creases, folds, seam splits, or any other noticeable similar defect.  No cut out holes.

VG++ This is a category I added for vinyl that has no visible signs of being played but that, for some reason, I am leery of listing as NM.

VG+ The record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.   Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience.  Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK.  The label may have some ring wear or discoloration but it should be barely noticeable.  The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play.  Inner sleeves will have some slight ring wear, lightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP jacket may have slight signs of wear and may be marred by a cut out hole, indentation, or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.

VG: Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise.  Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches that will affect the sound (deep enough to feel with a fingernail). Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers or their residue attached.  The same will be true of covers.

Good-Good Plus:   It will play without skipping.  But it will have significant surface noises and scratches and visible groove wear.  A jacket will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
