CONDITION NOTES: Outer jacket NM but for a name hand written in ink to rear and a bit of wrinkling to back text pastedown (an application defect from the factory). In original plastic wrap w/dated price tag (1961) still attached (plastic loose, safely removed then replaced for imaging purposes). Vinyl retains a nearly full factory gloss. A faint, single scuff line mars each side from the label to the edge though play seems unaffected. Full listening test performed: A fine playing copy with no remarkable surface noise, of paramount importance for a sparse acoustic blues album like this one.
I listened to this copy, then a digital version of the same recording immediately afterward. Needless to say, there was no comparison. Vinyl would grade NM if not for the aforementioned surface lines.
