Description

This is a rare original copy of the excellent GETTING READY... LP by FREDDIE KING on Shelter Records (SW-8905) from 1971.  An absolutely essential blues/R&B album from this legendary artist!  The vinyl is in VG- condition with some light marks and wear and some audible surface noise (light crackle); not for the most demanding audiophiles, but a perfectly enjoyable copy without skips or other anomalies.  The cover is in VG/VG+ condition with a few minor scuffs and dings, as pictured.  Don't pass up a rare gem like this!
