CHARLEY PATTON
FOUNDER
OF     THE
DELTA   BLUES
AN AMAZING DOUBLE ALBUM CONSISTING OF CHARLEY PATTON SONGS, TAKEN FROM THE ORIGINALLY RECORDINGS WHICH WERE RECORDED BETWEEN 1929 AND 1934 !!!!  
    HERE IS A RARE DELTA BLUES MASTERPIECE, AND AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THEY ARE THE ORIGINAL RECORDINGS RECORDED BETWEEN 1929 AND 1934, AND THEN RELEASED ORIGINALLY IN 1971 ONLY IN THE U.S.A, AND LATER REPRESSED IN 1977, AND ONLY IN THE UK, MUCH LATER, AND THEN IN A GREEN COVER. WHEN RELEASED IN 1971, IT CAME OUT WITH A BLACK LABEL AND A RED LABEL, BOTH ON THE YAZOO LABEL, AND THE ONE LISTED BELOW IS A 1971 U.S.A RELEASE ON THE RED YAZOO LABEL !!!!

NOW BEFORE YOU READ ON, I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THAT AS YOU KNOW BY NOW, THIS HAS THE ORIGINAL RECORDINGS FROM 1929 TO 1934, SO AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, BACK IN THE DAY NOT THE BEST QUALITY SOUND RECORDINGS, SO THERE IS SOME STATIC ON MOST TRACKS. BOTH VINYLS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION, SO I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT IF IT WAS NOT FOR THE ORIGINAL STATIC ON THE 1929 TO 1934 RECORDINGS, YOU WOULD BE LOOKING AT BOTH VINYLS WITH EX+/NEAR MINT AUDIO, SO TO FIND THIS ALBUM WITH SUPERB VINYLS AND GETTING TO HEAR THE ACTUAL RECORDINGS AS THEY WERE RECORDED BACK IN 1929 TO 1934 IS VERY RARE INDEED !!!! ONE OTHER THING IS THAT BETWEEN TRACKS THERE IS NO STATIC, SO THIS PROVES IT IS ON THE ACTUAL OLD RECORDINGS, THANK YOU.
THIS IS MR CHARLEY PATTON, WHO WAS FROM, HINDS COUNTY MISSISSIPPI, AND WAS BORN IN 1891, AND WAS ACTIVE FROM 1916 UNTIL HIS DEATH IN 1934, AT THE YOUNG AGE OF 43. HE WAS CONSIDERED BY MOST AS "THE FATHER OF THE DELTA BLUES". HARD TO BELIEVE THIS WAS ORIGINALLY RECORDED NEARLY 100 YEARS AGO, AND YOU CAN HEAR SO MANY SIMILARITES IN HIS SONGS, TO THE 1960's AND 1970's ROCK BANDS THAT WAS TO FOLLOW, SO ONE AMAZING ALBUM, AND A VERY SAD LOSS FROM MY TREASURED VINYL RECORD COLLECTION !!!!

DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1971 USA PRESS  ::  L-1020  A  K 3778  :: L-1020  B  K 3779  ::  L-1020  C  K 3780  ::  L-1020  D-2 8.12.71  SW8.12.71 .
ON THE 1971 ORIGINAL RED YAZOO LABEL :: L 1020 .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL U.S.A FIRST PRESS GATEFOLD, STILL WITH ORIGINAL 8 PAGE LYRIC BOOKLET STILL ATTACHED WITH ORIGINAL STAPLES, AND MADE FROM THICKER AND HEAVIER CARD, WITH NICE SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, WITH A FEW TINY SPOTS OF LIGHT RUB ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, WITH A LOVELY CLEAR READABLE SPINE. NOW THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE OPENING EDGE SIDES, AS THERE HAS BEEN SOME WATER DAMAGE, AND CLEAR CELLO TAPE HAS BEEN ADDED TO STRENGTHEN THE OPENING EDES. THE WATER DAMAGE HAS ALSO AFFECTED THE OUTER EDGE OF THE BOOKLET PAGES, SO IT WOULD BE BEST TO LOOK AT THE PHOTOS FOR A FAR BETTER VISUAL DESCRIPTION, THANK YOU. REAL SHAME ABOUT THE WATER DAMAGE, SO WITH THIS IN MIND I WILL HAVE TO GRADE :: VG/VG- . 

VINYLS :: AS MENTIONED, THIS HAS THE ACTUAL RECORDINGS FROM 1929 TO 1934, AND SO THE SOUND QUALITY ON MOST TRACKS, HAS STATIC.

THERE ARE NO JUMPS, STICKS, SKIPS, CLICKS OR POPS, AND JUST THREE FAINT TICKS ON TRACK 1, ON SIDE 1.

VISUALLY, BOTH VINYLS LOOK SUPERB, JUST A COUPLE OF FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND THREE SMALL HARMLESS COSMETIC MARKS ON SIDE 1, SO NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, SO THE VINYLS GIVE YOU TRUE OUTSTANDING AUDIO OF THE ORIGINAL RECORDINGS, WITH NOTHING EXTRA, SO RARE TO FIND !!!!

SO FOR THAT AUDIO GRADE, WHICH IS VERY DIFFICULT, DUE TO THE OLD ORIGINAL RECORDINGS, SO I AM GOING TO SPLIT THE GRADE AND HOPEFULLY YOU WILL UNDERSTAND BOTH AUDIO GRADES, THANK YOU.

THE 1971 AUDIO PRODUCED FOR THE 1929 TO 1934 ORIGINAL TRACKS, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX+/NEAR MINT . SO IT PLAYS AS IT WAS RECORDED BACK IN THE DAY !!!!

THE ACTUAL AUDIO PRODUCED BACK IN 1929 TO 1934, I WOULD GRADE THAT AUDIO  ::  VG . SO YOU ARE HEARING THE ORIGINAL AUDIO THAT WAS RECORDED NEARLY 100 YEARS AGO, WITH NOTHING EXTRA FROM THE 1971 RECORDING !!!!

I HOPE THAT ALL MAKES SENSE, AND PLEASE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I WOULD RATHER YOU ASK NOW, RATHER THAN LATER, THANK YOU !!!!

LABELS :: JUST A FEW FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE  :: EX/EX+ .

INNERS :: BOTH INNERS HAD WATER DAMAGE, SO HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH NEW POLYLINED INNERS, THANK YOU !!!! 

WHAT AN AMAZING ALBUM, WITH ORIGINAL TRACKS FROM NEARLY 100 YEARS AGO. MOST OF TRACKS HAVE SOME STATIC, WHICH WAS FROM THE ORIGINAL RECORDINGS, AND NOT FROM THE 1971 PRESSING, WHERE BOTH VINYLS ARE IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION.

THIS IS VERY RARE TO FIND IN THE UK, AS IT WAS A U.S.A PRESSING, AND NOT RELEASED IN THE UK UNTIL MUCH LATER, AND THEN WITH A GREEN COVER, SO FOR AUTHENTIC DELTA BLUES, YOU REALLY DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS WONDERFUL ALBUM !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!! ROSE.
