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)            THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records ►click here (PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING A BID)

(b)            The record is believed to come in its original stock inner sleeve.

(c)             The record is apparently 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!

(d)            Stereo pressing of this title is much rarer, and by far more preferable to its mono counterpart. The mix is more graphic, the sound resolution more precise, and the channel separation (which does not exist on mono version) adds a whole new dimension to the music. Also, the stereo mixes are (by definition) somewhat different than on the mono version. We estimate that mono copies of this album outnumber stereo copies by a ratio of at least 3:1.

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

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