ELMORE JAMES TO KNOW A MAN 1969 BLUE HORIZON 7-66230 Gatefold Slve 2 LP UK RARE 

$

40

This album comprises what are believed to be James' last two recording sessions complete with the various takes, chats, and false starts that go into making an album (see track list below for more details). This is the original UK release on Mike Vernon's Blue Horizon label produced by Bobby Robinson. The records are shiny a clean with no visible defects. Their is some discoloration on a couple of the labels (see photos). The sleeve has edge and spine wear pretty typical for a sleeve that is almost 50 years old and a small split seam at the top opening corner of the back cover, but is otherwise in great shape  (see photos). Grading is visual only.
