Big Walter Horton – The Deep Blues Harmonica – Import Chicago Blues Vinyl LP

$

45

Big Walter is widely considered one of the best blues harmonica player of all time.  When Willie Dixon says that’s the case you really have to take notice.  He was one of the most widely sought after players for all the Chicago blues stars.  He is the only inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame as a harmonica player.  This album was never released in the US, and it is an incredible collection showcasing this musician’s amazing talents.  This is, as the album title describes, deep blues in its rawest and purest form.  It was released on the British JSP Records label in 1984, number 1071.  This is the original release of the album.  The vinyl is in beautiful condition with its bright original luster and just a couple of very light surface scratches that do not impact play.  It plays with almost no background noise.  The vinyl grades VG+.  The album cover shows light ring wear on the back and no corner or edge wear.  All seams are clean, sharp, tight, and intact.  The cover grades VG+. 

Album Tracks: 
Hard Hearted Woman
Sick And Tired
Walter’s Jump
Leaving In The Morning

Walter And Carey
Walking By Myself
My Eyes Keep Me In Trouble

Grading Information

I only use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or more small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Very occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G.  This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.  

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. Canada shipping rates have gone up dramatically. The first album will be shipped for $16.  Additional albums will be shipped for $4 per album, with up to five albums able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

The Canada cost determination also applies for all other International shipping, except that the first album is shipped for $21 and each subsequent is just an additional $5.00. 

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.  Payment by Paypal is preferred.
