Description

This LP is hard to part with!

You are bidding on American Music History with this original Chess LP-1434 "Moanin' in the Moonlight", which was the first full album put out by Howlin' Wolf.

Ranked as one of the all time greatest blues albums of our time, his first LP is actually comprised from some of his earlier singles. 

Goldmine puts it at $ 600 in vg condition and the this album and cover are Good into Very Good condition. Goldmine's descriptions would allow for these to be VG, but I like to appraise on the conservative side.  The cover shows wear, has scotch tape sealing the opening, and a split at the top which allows access to the LP. There is also some wear from where tape had sealed the top. The LP has some scratching and scuffing. Visually it ranks as VG, but again I like to be conservative and suggest it's Good creeping into VG territory. I've seen much worse, but It's not pristine. The labels are clear but do show some spindle marks. Album sleeve is generic.

This album will go down as an American Classic on the famous Chess Label  high-fidelity LP -1434. 
The reserve is modest here and hopefully the right bidder gets this classic piece of vinyl.

Side 1: Moanin At  Midnight; How Many More Years; Smokestack Lightin'; Baby, How Long; No Place To Go; All Night Boogie

SIDE 2: Evil; I'm Leavin' You; I Asked For Water (She Gave Me Gasoline);Forty-Four; Somebody In My Home
