Description
ORIGINAL STEREO 1ST PRESSING OF THE BLUE HORIZON LABEL DOUBLE LP"SWAMP BLUES".
A POOR SELLER AT THE TIME IN THE UK, 38 YEARS AGO AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON IT'S FIRST UK PRESSING!!!
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A 1ST PRESSING AND CAN PUT UP WITH A FEW MINOR CLICKS AND A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE RATHER THAN NO COPY AT ALL-THIS COULD BE THE SET FOR YOU!
IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER DELIGHT FROM ONE OF THE UKs LEADING RECORD EXPERTS/DEALERS.
THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE.
AN ORIGINAL 1ST EDITION FROM 1970 OF THE SHORT LIVED COMPILATION OF 1970 AMERICAN EXCELLO RECORDINGS ISSUED ON THE CBS PRESSED BLUE HORIZON LABELS.
7-66263-SUPER THICK VINYL!
A1/B1/C1/D1 MATRIXES
This is a THICK PRESSING different to the LATER THINNER pressings from a few months later-This ESSENTIAL LP pressed within the first few months of issue when the blues revival was on the decline and indeed Blue Horizon would end as a label a couple of years afterwards.
Musically tracks by
SILAS HOGAN(5 TRACKS)
WHISPERING SMITH(7 TRACKS)
CLARENCE EDWARDS(4 TRACKS)
ARTHUR"GUITAR"KELLEY
(5 TRACKS)
and HENRY GRAY(4 TRACKS).
Possibly the first and last times these singers were recorded in STEREO!
MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN VERY POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE IS IN NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION DISC WITH SOME MINOR SURFACE MARKS, SLIGHT SURFACE NOISE AND A FEW LIGHT CLICKS HERE AND THERE BUT PLAYS VERY NICELY!
The few copies I have seen over the last 25 years have been VERY badly scratched,RUINED BEYOND BELIEF and worn out having been played at parties or over and over again on heavy radiogram pickups!
THIS IS NOT A NEAR MINT UPGRADER BUT IT IS A GREAT SOUNDING COPY!!!!!!!!
I UNDERGRADE ON SUCH ITEMS SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE!
The mixes are brilliant and full of bass.
The mixes are far punchier but are rather flat on the CDs that have come out!
Vinyl is still the best way to hear THE BLUES and always will be!
GREAT SOLID SOUND!
I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.
There is NO spindle wear.
IT WILL DO VERY WELL FOR MOST COLLECTORS UNTIL A BETTER ONE COMES ALONG, IF AT ALL!
CBS PRESSINGS WERE QUITE SUPERB AND CUT LOUD KNOWING MANY WOULD BE PLAYED ON TINY PLAYERS!
Look elsewhere on ebay and you MIGHT see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often reissues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults NOT ALWAYS AS HONESTLY AND CLEARLY DESCRIBED AS MINE.
MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!
THE COVER HAS SOME CREASES MOSTLY AT THE EDGES AND A FAINT BIRO NAME AT THE FRONT.
THERE IS ALSO A COUPLE OF SMALL PATCH/SURFACE TEARS WHERE A SMALL STICKER HAS BEEN REMOVED AT THE TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER.
THE SPINE AND EDGES ARE SOMEWHAT WORN BUT THERE ARE NO RIPS/REPAIRS OR MAJOR DAMAGE!
ORIGINAL"HEAVY ON CBS"INNER SLEEVES PROMOTING ALBUMS OF THE LATE 1960s AND EARLY 1970s ON CBS/EPIC AND DIRECTION, ALL PART OF THE SAME GROUP AS BLUE HORIZON WERE PRESSED BY CBS.
PLEASE SEE BOTH PHOTOS!
THE FAULTS I MENTION ARE TO BE EXPECTED AND QUITE ACCEPTABLE FOR A DOUBLE ALBUM OF THIS VINTAGE AND SCARCITY-REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY!
As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
Realistic LOW £20 STARTING price with no annoying reserve.
MINT COPIES CAN FETCH £75 OR MORE!
THIS IS A GREAT CHANCE TO OWN A PIECE OF BLUES HISTORY. A GREAT INVESTMENT!
