John Mayall was one of the best at discovering and nurturing incredible musicians;  particularly rock/blues guitarists.  Among his many discoveries was Mick Taylor, who later moved to The Rolling Stones.  While with them he played lead guitar on some of their most highly regarded albums, including Let It Bleed and Exile On Main Street.  Many still consider Taylor to be the best guitarist the band ever had.  He rated very high on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of greatest guitarists of all time.  Taylor worked with Mayall between 1967-1969.  This album is still very much a blues album and showcases both Taylor and Mayall extensively.  It’s a great and historic album!  The album was released on the British Decca label in 1968, number SKL 4945.  This is the original release of the album.  The vinyl is in pristine condition with its bright original luster and no scratches or scuffs.  It plays with virtually no background noise.  The vinyl grades NM.  The laminated gatefold album cover shows light ring wear and light corner and edge wear including a one inch split at the bottom of the spine. The other seams are tight, sharp, and intact. There is scraping along the spine on the inside of the cover.  The cover grades VG.

Grading Information

I use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Very occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy. 

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

As of January 26, 2020, all international shipping rates have gone up 25%.  Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings.  The first album will be shipped for $19.  Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to five albums able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

The Canada cost determination also applies for all other International shipping, except that the first album is shipped for $27 and each subsequent is just an additional $10. 

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.  Payment by PayPal is preferred.
