Description
About this Record. This is an original USA copy of Howlin' Wolf's LP entitled "Moanin' in the Moonlight" that was original released on the black chess label, and then this VERY SMALL blue label pressing, before going to the usually seen blue and white Chess Label. This was released on Chess Records LP-1434. Includes original plain white (Now brown) paper "small hole" inner sleeve. This is a Top ARCHIVE Keeper Copy of the vinyl which is in amazingly nice condition (and the cover ain't so bad). Near Mint (NM) super rare blue chess labels. THIS IS NOT A REISSUE (but also not the very first black label issue, rather the RARER second smaller pressing blue label version that never turns up).
Please see the details below about the cover, vinyl, labels and everything else you might want to know.
PLEASE CHECK my Feedback which will show you my grading, Cover/Vinyl, of other 45rpms and LPs I have recently sold and what the lucky people who bought them think of them and our experience. The photos of the labels or cover list the songs and any possible details about the labels.
I offer full refund including shipping both ways (for USA and foreign buyers in case for some wildly strange reason you might be unhappy with this purchase). Comes cleaned on my KL Audio Ultrasonic Record Cleaner and placed in a new dust-free sleeve for your grandchildren. And at least one plastic sleeves for moisture protection (for you and me).
Cover Condition: Very Good (VG) cover because of tear top and bottom seams about half the length of the seams. Strong spine. Two pieces of tape on top and bottom seams. Light age wear; no writing on front or back cover Presents well, but torn seams and that darned tape, but the vinyl was only played a few times and VERY carefully. Please see all my Photos. I didn't take them for fun and frolic.
Vinyl Condition: Near Mint Minus (NM-). The vinyl appears close to unplayed; no scratches or stylus marks, only a hint of paper marks. "Sheldon" stamped in matrix trail out. Looks close to Mint Minus (M-) but plays with the usual pop or two and light background noise between a couple of the songs here and there. IMPOSSIBLE to Upgrade; I rarely grade vinyl NM.
Labels. Near Mint (NM) labels. Please look at my photos in case I missed something.
Inserts: Comes in original "small hole" plain white (now brown) inner sleeve I found when I bought this, but no worries, it also comes cleaned in a new rice paper Mo-Fi inner sleeve.
Packaging. I clean all vinyl on my KL Audio Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Machine and place it in a new innersleeve so the old dust does not reattach; but I also include the innersleeve that came with the LP if it is the original. I separate the vinyl in its new sleeve after cleaning from the cover, and place the cover and the separately packed vinyl in at least one if not two plastic innersleeves that help protect against moisture damage during this cool records transition to your record collection. I use sturdy carboard containers with real corners and pack with at least two insert stiffeners, and I place neon stickers on the front and back of the package indicating “Do Not Bend” and/or “Fragile” or something like that to help facilitate a safe passage.
Shipping and Payment. PayPal only. I ship promptly worldwide; sometimes the automatic eBay invoice does not have accurate shipping if you buy more than one LP, so if you are unsure email me and ask for an invoice. . . . I offer full refund on this record including shipping both ways, unless you live outside North America in which case I will refund you shipping one way unless I made a mistake which I sometimes do because I am only human.. CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS: Please add sales tax!
