TOMATO Records TOM-2-7004
Original 1977 issue Stereo LP
MASTERDISK Masters • MILTON GLASER Artwork
Original custom inner sleeves included
VINYL is VG++/VG+
Overall super clean full-gloss vinyl; Sides 1, 2 and 3 are VG++ with few light sleeve hairlines. Side 4 also has some storage pressure marks (inaudible) mostly at edge; cosmetic only. LP plays great VG++ to NM throughout. Labels are pristine all 4 sides.
.
COVER is VG++
Still in original Shrinkwrap - a bit loose now but complete (tiny flap of shrink hangs loose at back u.r. corner). Gatefold cover is very clean with one bumped (u.r. back) corner. Otherwise superb.
Milton Glaser collectors will be glad to know that any 'marks', lines, scuffs etc. seen in photos are almost entirely on the shrinkwrap, not on the actual cover. The shrink is a more brittle, less soft plastic than usual LP shrink; (just like my TOMATO Records Townes Van Zandt Live at The Old Quarter, Houston TX Gatefold double LP.) and shows scuffs and wrinkle more easily than most do. My lights are reflecting much more of that than is actually apparent to the eye.
*Please excuse any 'grainy' look to pictures (...from my poor lighting).
STRICT CONSERVATIVE GOLDMINE GRADING
NM / EX(VG++) / VG+ / VG
HIGHLY regarded album, considered one of Lightnin's very best
This is the pressing mastered at MASTERDISK - many were not.
MASTERDISK stamped in trail-off wax all 4 sides.
"Excellently recorded and is one of the best blues packages of the year"
