SUPERB BLUES/SOUL FROM CHESS'S FRONT FEMALE ARTIST ETTA JAMES, RECORDED AT MUSCLE SHOALS IN ALABAMA 'TELL MAMA' MUST RANK AS ONE OF THE BEST RnB RECORDS EVER. THIS COPY IS A BEAUTY WITH A SUPERB SOUND, THE ONLY BAD POINT BEING A COUPLE OF CORNER CREASES TO THE FRONT LAMINATE, NEVER THE LESS A VERY RARE RECORD AND NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE AS A FIRST UK PRESSING!
THE GARROD & LOFTHOUSE FULLY LAMINATED TRI FLIPBACK SLEEVE IS FULLY INTACT WITH NO SPLITS OR TEARS, BRIGHT CLEAR UNFADED ARTWORK WITH SHINY LAMINATE, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF CORNER CREASES AND HALFMOONS, THE REAR IS CLEAN WITH ONLY A LTTLE AGEING AND ALL THREE FLIPBACKS ARE FIRMLY IN PLACE, NICE CORNERS AND EDGES WITH A FULLY READABLE SPINE. GRADED VERY GOOD.
THE DISC IS A PERFECTLY FLAT HEAVYWEIGHT FIRST UK PRESSING, COMPLETE WITH MATT BLACK UK CHESS LABELS WITH SILVER TEXT. THE PLAYING SURFACES ARE SUPER CLEAN AND SHINY THAT SHOW ONLY A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT SURFACE MARKS, THESE HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE PLAYBACK WHICH IS EXCELLENT CLEAR MONO AUDIO THROUGHOUT ALL TRACKS ON BOTH SIDES. A SUPERB PRESSING OF THIS SUPER RARE SOUL/BLUES CLASSIC. GRADED EXCELLENT.
