Description
Prestige Bluesville 1024, "Losing Game" with Lonnie Johnson, vocals, guitar, and piano, from 1961. This is an original deep-groove pressing with heavy laminated jacket. Vinyl plays at VG+ with some light crackle on the outer tracks; inner tracks approach NM. The jacket has solid seams all around but there is some chips in the laminate and wear on the corners; jacket back is basically clean with no writing but has what is probably a pricing stamp (see scan). Songs are "New Orleans Blues", "My Little Kitten Susie", "Evil Woman", "What a Difference a Day Makes", "Moaning Blues", "Summertime", "Lines in My Face", "Losing Game", "New Year's Blues", "Slow and Easy", "Four Walls and Me", and "You Won't Let Me Go". Shipping is $4.00 media mail, $7.00 priority mail in the continental U.S.; $15.00 airmail for Europe, Australia, Japan, and Korea; elsewhere inquire. Insured priority shipping required for Italy and Brazil. As a collector myself, I dislike sub-quality packaging as much as any other eBayer does. Individual records will be shipped in special, handcrafted mailers unlike the usual type in three ways: (1) They are significantly larger all around and padded around the edges to prevent corner bumps to the jacket; (2) they are padded on both sides of the record with styro sheets or thick cardboard sheets to prevent damage to the record surface; (3) they are constructed of heavier-duty cardboard than normal LP mailers to provide further protection. All used LPs are shipped with record securely inside an inner sleeve but outside the jacket to prevent seam splitting in transit; our innovative padded packaging will prevent seam splitting for new, sealed LPs. The end product is designed to withstand a drop from a second-story window with no damage (though I will not test it with your package). No record should arrive in a condition worse than described. Multiple LPs are shipped in BagsUnlimited pizza-style boxes that are larger around than LPs and will also be well padded. Additional LPs in one package are $1.00 extra per LP for domestic and Canada, $2.00 extra per LP for overseas shipments.
