ATTENTION BLUES,BLUE HORIZON LABEL AND 1960s RARE ALBUM  COLLECTORS!     HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1969 STEREO 1ST ISSUE OF THE RARELY SEEN(ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION) ESSENTIAL ALBUM BY FURRY LEWIS:"PRESENTING THE COUNTRY BLUES" WHICH FAILED TO CHART IN THE UK AND AS SUCH WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE. IT VERY RARELY TURNS UP IN AS OUTSTANDING EXCELLENT CONDITION AS THIS UPGRADER STANDARD EXAMPLE!.IT'S ONE OF THE BEST COPIES I HAVE FOUND AND HEARD IN YEARS AS A DEALER. CBS PRESSED BLUE HORIZON 7-63228 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE A1/B1 MATRIXES AND VERY THICK VINYL.      HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL 1969 CBS LPs ADVERT INNER SLEEVE(WHICH INCLUDES SOME OTHER BLUE HORIZON LPs) AS WELL AS THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER.  NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH LATER REISSUES THAT EXIST-THIS IS THE ORIGINAL UK ISSUE! MOST BUYING LPs IN 1969 WERE USING OLD,HEAVY EQUIPMENT THAT WOULD WEAR OUT ANY RECORD VERY QUICKLY . MANY DEALERS WOULD ONLY OBTAIN THIS LP TO SPECIAL ORDER! DIRECT FROM THE COLLECTION OF A MAJOR COLLECTOR WHO HAS FINALLY DECIDED TO SELL HAVING CARED AND CHERISHED HIS RECORDS-MOST BOUGHT NEW AT THE TIME WITH MINIMAL PLAYS AS OFTEN THE CASE WITH LARGE COLLECTIONS.THEY WERE STORED UPRIGHT ON STRONG SHELVING AWAY FROM LIGHT,HEAT,DAMP AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A NON-SMOKER!  THIS IMPRESSIVE EXAMPLE HAS AMAZINGLY HAD VERY CAREFUL USE IN NEARLY 47 YEARS!  LOCATING A REALLY OUTSTANDING 1969  COPY IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD SOME CAREFUL USE WITH GLEAMING SURFACES,JUST A COUPLE OF VERY FAINT AND SMALL HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER STRONG LIGHT. HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE. THE 1969 PRESSINGS HAVE FAR MORE BASS THAN THE LATER REPRESSINGS. THE RECORD HAS NO LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS OR JUMPS.STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT CONDITION!THICK VINYL.THERE IS HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR.NO LABEL WRITING-JUST SOME SLIGHT STAINING.

THE COVER HAS A LITTLE STAINING AND A FEW MINOR CREASES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS!  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A LOW,REALISTIC £20 STARTING PRICE FOR SUCH A SUPERB COPY WITH MORE RARE UPGRADER STANDARD LPs FROM ME FOR AUCTION THIS WEEK AND TO FOLLOW SO CHECK THEM OUT!.

PERSONAL COLLECTION IS WELCOME FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
