Description
Blues by Lonnie Johnson is an album by blues musician Lonnie Johnson, recorded in 1960 and released on the Prestige Bluesville label. This is an original 1st Pressing PRESTIGE BLUESVILLE 1007 MONO [Deep Groove dark blue label]. There is RVG (Rudy Van Gelder) in the run-off which means he was the recording engineer for the session.
Cover is Near Mint and Vinyl VG+ because of a couple of surface marks and there is a light audible tick on Side B track 2 middle. Otherwise it's perfect. Still has original acetate inner sleeve in excellent condition.
At the time of this recording Lonnie Johnson was just turning 60 years old. Lonnie is one of the few blues singers around today who was singing when the classic 12-bar blues form came into popularity after World War I.
Scott Yanow stated: "After four years off records and in obscurity, Lonnie Johnson launched his final comeback with this release ... Johnson sings and plays guitar on a variety of blues, showing that the layoff (he was working at the time as a janitor) had not hurt his abilities in the slightest".

Plus all albums come with an external plastic protective cover. Wherever I can I include the original inner sleeve but put cleaned vinyl in a new white non-toxic paper sleeve.

IMPORTANT NOTE - Regarding the quality and playback of vinyl records. Vinyl, generally, is in various stages of quality depending on being an original pressing, deep groove, physical condition, and age of album. The older vinyl is usually dryer which creates little ticks and pops, but that can be handled by professionally softening records with with "Last" record preservation treatment. Another thing to consider is the quality of playback equipment like turntable cartridge and needle. Worn needles can cause all sorts of distortion and damage vinyl irreparably. Plus the difference in sound between a needle's shape, conical, elliptical or the other two can make a big difference in sound as well as picking up imperfections on the record. No vinyl is 100% perfect and even some have particles can be left from the pressing that have to be cleaned off for a pleasant listening experience.
I've been collecting for many years but for the pleasure of playing music not collecting special pressings for resale. I do not test play every album only visual inspection according to Goldmine standards.
