This is one of Big Joe Turner's best albums, from the peak period of his career (The "Atlantic" years, 1950-1962). This is what comes to mind when the phrase "Blues vocals" is mentioned. This album, almost as much as its author - is a monument to a genre, almost an institution in itself. The role of Joe Turner in the development of modern Blues and Rock and Roll cannot possibly be overestimated. His towering (literally) presence continues even today, almost 20 years from his death. There is no way to properly appraise Joe Turner's influence among the early 50's "Jump Blues" musicians and aficionados. Just one of his songs alone (Shake, Rattle and Roll) played a pivotal role in the development of modern American role (even in a dramatically abridged, butchered versions, as rendered by Bill Haley an Elvis Presley). Atlantic Records, that powerhouse of 1950's blues, soul and R&B is pretty much a house that Big Joe had built. A blues collection without this album is like Paris without Eiffel Tower. Track listing: Switchin' in the kitchen - Nobody in mind - Until the real thing comes along - I get the blues when it rains - Rebecca - When I was young - Don't you make me high - Time after time - Pennies from heaven - Here comes the Iceman

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)            WE GRADE THE VINYL AS BORDERLINE NEAR MINT. This album probably does not qualify to be graded NEAR MINT by using stringent, rigorous grading – but, in our opinion, it is very close to NEAR MINT. At our own risk, we will grade it as NEAR MINT, but be forewarned: if you are rigorous and demanding collector, this album may be VG++ for your standards, or below your expectations. Some light abrasions and sleeve scuffs are visible, but are probably not sufficient to significantly lower the overall grade. Please inquire if you need more information.

(b)            The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)             Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

(d)            Mono pressing of this title is much rarer, and by far more preferable to its stereo counterpart. We think that the mix is more natural, humane, "organic" and that the mixes are somewhat different than on the stereo version. We estimate that stereo copies of this album outnumber mono pressings by a ratio of at least 3:1.

·       COVER (THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, LAMINATED, GLOSSY COVER):

THE COVER IS NEAR MINT !

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-         Cover has a small cutout hole in one of the corners

-         Cover shows some light yellowing on back side, apparently from aging.

-         Back cover has circular tarnish (grayish, dust-covered sections, which closely follow the contour of the record), probably caused by friction or by rubbing against other covers during the storage. The tarnish is similar in appearance to a common ring wear, but, UNLIKE ring wear, these grayish areas may be possible to clean up with a minor effort and with a right cleansing solution.

-         Cover has a small quality control (inspection) stamp on the back panel

NO OTHER IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER:

-         No split seams

-         No ring wear

-         No cut-out corners

-         No saw-marks or indents

-         No wrinkles or creases

-         No writing

-         No tearing: no chips, dents or nicks on the seams

-         No peel-off marks

-         No stains

-         No mold or mildew spots

-         No stickers or labels

-         No water damage

-         No razor marks, scratches, pressure marks, lines, streaks, or cuts.

-         No warping

-         No wax, glue, paint or liquid drops on the cover

-         No bar codes

-         No RIAA stamps or stickers.
