·       CHARLEY PATTON – THE FOUNDER OF DELTA BLUES – ORIGINAL 1970 YAZOO RECORDS MONO 2-LP SET (DOUBLE ALBUM) L-1020 COMPILED AND ANNOTATED BY THE LEGENDARY JOHN FAHEY!

·       ORIGINAL U.S. PRESSING

·       INCREDIBLE COPY, AUTOGRAPHED BY (IF YOU CAN BELIEVE THIS) ALL MEMBERS OF THE CANNED HEAT 1971 LINEUP (CIRCA ‘HISTORICAL FIGURES AND ANCIENT HEADS‘ ALBUM)

·       THE SIGNATURES INCLUDE:

·       Bob Hite – vocals

·        Joe Scott Hill – Guitar, vocals

·        Henry Vestine– Lead guitar

·        Tony de la Barreda – Electric Bass

·        Fito de la Parra – drums, Piano

·       THE FIRST THREE SIGNATURES (BOB HITE, JOE SCOTT HILL AND HENRY VESTINE ARE CLEAR, LEGIBLE AND IDENTIFIABLE AS SUCH; THE REMAINING TWO SIGNATURES (TONY DE LA BARREDA AND FITO DE LA PARRA) APPEAR AS DISJOINTED AND INCOHERENT SCRIBBLINGS AND CRYPTIC REMARKS [“FITO THE KING” AND “TONY’S BLUES”]

·       IN ADDITION, THERE IS A SIXTH SIGNATURE (PLEASE SEE THE MAGNIFIED IMAGE OF THE GATEFOLD SLEEVE) WHICH WE WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY, BUT WHO WAS EITHER A DE-FACTO SIXTH MEMBER OF THE BAND AT A TIME, OR THE MEMBER OF THE MANAGEMENT/PRODUCTION TEAM, OR SIMPLY A MEMBER OF THE BAND’S ENTOURAGE. ALTHOUGH LITTLE RICHARD, HARVEY MANDEL AND CHARLES LLOYD ALL PLAYED ON THE ‘HISTORICAL FIGURES’ RECORDING SESSIONS, THE UNIDENTIFIED SIXTH SIGNATURE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE THEIRS.

·       BECAUSE THIS PARTICULAR LINEUP OF THE GROUP WAS SO SHORT-LIVED (BARELY A FEW MONTHS), WE CAN QUITE PRECISELY PINPOINT THE MOMENT IN TIME THE ALBUM WAS AUTOGRAPHED: DECEMBER 1971, THE TIME WHEN THIS INCARNATION OF THE GROUP RECORDED THEIR SOLE ALBUM (“HISTORICAL FIGURES AND ANCIENT HEADS”).

·       THIS CHARLEY PATTON ALBUM IS OF MASSIVE HISTORICAL IMPORTANCE THAT GOES WELL BEYOND ITS INCREDIBLE MUSICAL CONTENT OT JOHN FAHEY’S AWESOME ANNOTATION AND DEMONSTRATES THAT CANNED HEAT CONTINUED TO BE MASSIVELY INFLUENCED BY DELTA BLUES WELL BEYOND THE DEATH OF ITS FOUNDING FATHER, AL WILSON. IN FACT, WE BELIEVE THAT CANNED HEAD ACTUALLY PLAYED THIS COPY OF THE ALBUM IN STUDIO AS THEY WERE RECORDING THE ‘HISTORICAL FIGURES AND ANCIENT HEADS’)

·       WE BELIEVE – BUT HAVE NO WAY OF PROVING – THAT THIS ALBUM COMES FROM HENRY VESTINE’S PERSONAL COLLECTION, WHICH – AT THE TIME OF HIS DEATH (1997) WAS BELIEVED TO BE THE SINGLE BIGGEST BLUES COLLECTION IN THE WORLD.

·       ORIGINAL BLACK YAZOO LABEL WITH GOLD PRINT AND ‘PEACOCK’S TAIL’ LOGO

·       THE ALBUM INCLUDES ORIGINAL 8-PAGE INSERT / BOOKLET

·       THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC, FIRST U.S. PRESSING; THIS IS NOT A REISSUE, AN IMPORT, OR A COUNTERFEIT PRESSING.

·       ORIGINAL GATEFOLD COVER, MADE OF THICK CARDBOARD (AMERICAN STYLE) 

·       THICK, HEAVY VINYL PRESSING

·       CLEAN, WEAR-FREE LABELS

 (►PLEASE SEE THE IMAGE OF THE COVER, LABEL OR BOTH, SHOWN BELOW)

A cornerstone of any blues collection, Charley Patton is where it starts. As compilations go, Founder of the Delta Blues originally started life as a double-record set featuring all of Patton's best-known titles, and soundwise was miles above all previous versions. Its compact disc incarnation trims the tune list to 24 tracks, but includes all the seminal tracks: "Pony Blues," "High Water Everywhere," "Screamin' and Hollerin' the Blues," "A Spoonful Blues," "Shake It and Break It," and the wistful "Poor Me," which was recorded at his final session in 1934, a scant two months before he died.

·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

 (IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL  AS  NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The records are pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)           The album comes with its original embedded 8-page booklet (insert)

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        Cover has a partially split spine; This split seam was taped by the previous owner with a piece of transparent (clear) scotch tape
