Description

I do not sell copies or bootlegs.

I post my LPs by Tracked Delivery. I use good quality reinforced cardboard cases and separate the Vinyl from the Sleeves to prevent splits in covers. I also enclose a plastic sleeve for storage if the shrink wrap on the sleeves is not intact.

Reviews: ELMORE JAMES To Know A Man (1969 UK first press 19-track double LP on the Blue Horizon label featuring the legendary bluesman's final two sessions recorded in the early sixties with a three-piece rhythm section in their entirety housed in a matte gatefold picture sleeve with detailed liner notes by Blues Unlimited editor Mike Leadbetter.
Elmore James electrified Robert Johnson's acoustic rural blues number 'I Believe I'll Dust My Broom', transforming it into a swaggering, metropolitan juggernaut that has dwarfed everything else he did. However, he was far more than a one trick pony and this 19 track set highlights the enduring brilliance and versatility of a performer who would go on to influence the likes of Ry Cooder and Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac.
This Blues Horizon double set is a real collector's item.
