Very rare Original 12" vinyl release of this killer blues LP from sessions recorded in Memphis in 1968 on the little known Memphis ASP label, Bukka one side Furry on the other. great stuff and in Excellent condition throughout.

Vinyl is in Excellent+/NM condition and looks like it has been played very few times,. This vinyl still carries a beautiful sheen and deep lustre. There is a mark (under light) on the Bukka White side but it looks like a pressing mark as it does not affect play at all. I play graded it and there is no background hiss at all. The original labels are excellent  There is no surface wear, dirt, scuffs or warps. There is NO background noise. With depth and crisp definition this record plays beautifully.

The sleeve is graded VG++. Thick US card with nice laminate and really good colour on the front of the sleeve, there are no rips or tears. Nice deep shine. Spine is good and straight. Rear of sleeve is has some general age related ringwear.

A genuine and collectable CLASSIC BLUES SESSION from 1968, sounds, looks and even smells great.

Please check my other auctions, I will be listing many more classic original UK and US Jazz and Blues records from a large and well looked after collection over the coming months.

I have tried too show the condition of vinyl & sleeve with the photographs listed but please contact me with any questions that you may have.

Records will be mailed in a strong corrugated cardboard cruciform style mailer.

I use the UK record collector grading guide as detailed below.

Records are visually graded unless stated as play graded

Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:
 
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

 
As well as the above grades, Near Mint is often used as well; this is really for a record that appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner and is assumed to have been played by them. For records which appear to fall between the accepted grades, + and - are also often added to the grading.
