Joni Mitchell - Blue 1971

THIS IS NOT A RE-ISSUE, IT IS NOT A COLORED VINYL. IT IS A 1971 FIRST USA PRINTING. THIS RECORD IS NOT FROM THE UK, CANADA, GERMANY OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY. IT IS NOT NEW OR A 1974, 1975 OR 1976 OR ANY OTHER YEAR PRESSING. WHEN YOU PURCHASE A JONI MITCHELL "BLUE" RECORD. YOU NEED TO SEE A PHOTO OF THE LABEL. IT CAN NOT HAVE THE WARNER COMMUNICATIONS LOGO IN THE RIM TEXT ON THE LABEL. IF IT DOES, IT IS NOT AN ORIGINAL 1971 PRESSING.IT HAS TO LOOK EXACTLY LIKE MINE! THIS RECORD SOUNDS EXCELLENT!. BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU PURCHASE A JONI MITCHELL "BLUE" RECORD. THIS RECORD IS THE REAL DEAL, SURE TO GO UP IN VALUE. 95% OF THE SELLERS THAT SAY THEIR RECORD IS A 1971 IS NOT! 
THESE 1971 PRESSINGS ARE GETTING MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT TO FIND, ESPECIALLY IN THIS SWEET CONDITION! THIS WILL MAKE A WONDERFUL GIFT FOR SOMEONE OR YOURSELF. 
PUT YOUR STYLUS ON THIS RECORD AND TAKE A TRIP BACK TO 1971
I PRIDE MYSELF ON SELLING RECORDS WITH QUALITY SOUND. IF THE SOUND DOES NOT MAKE ME SMILE WHEN I LISTEN TO IT, I WILL TELL YOU WHY SO YOU CAN MAKE AN INTELLIGENT DECISION ON YOUR PURCHASE.


RECORD: BEAUTIFUL COPY! LOOKS AND TEST PLAYED EXCELLENT. LOOK AT THE SPINDLE HOLE. CLEAN AND VERY FEW  "TRAIL" MARKS. A JONI MITCHELL RECORD HAS TO PLAY QUIET TO BE ENJOYABLE AND THIS RECORD PLAYS GREAT. THIS IS THE MAJOR SELLING POINT OF THIS RECORD. 
COVER: LOOKS EX. VERY SLIGHT TRACE OF RING WEAR.. MUCH CLEANER THEN MOST OF THESE JONI MITCHELL BLUE COVERS.. EDGES, SPINE AND CORNERS ARE EXCELLENT. NO WRITING, SPLITS, HOLES, SAW MARKS OR STAINS. VERY FRAME-ABLE. 
INNER SLEEVE: ORIGINAL BLUE INNER SLEEVE W/ CREASE. A RECORD THAT HAS THE ORIGINAL SLEEVE SAYS A LOT ABOUT HOW THE RECORD WAS TREATED BY THE OWNERS.
A GREAT GIFT FOR YOUR SPECIAL SOMEONE OR YOURSELF.
