Johnny Winter-Progressive Blues Experiment – Debut Chicago Blues Guitar Vinyl LP

$

20

One thing you know even before you put on a Johnny Winter album – you aren’t going to be hearing any pretty ballads or soft love songs.  You’re going to get loud and high energy and tough.  From beginning to end.  This is my personal favorite Winter album.  It is a rocking set of heavy duty blues guitar.  Lovers of electric blues guitar will absolutely love this album. This was his debut album.  It received superior critical acclaim and it is one of the hardest to find of his entire discography.  It was released on Imperial in 1969, number LP-12431.  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 and blemishes.  It plays with very light sporadic background noise.  The vinyl grades VG+.  The album cover shows ring wear and some light corner and edge wear including just the start of a split on the open side of the top seam.  The other seams show some light wear but are tight, sharp, and intact.  The corner of the spine and bottom seam is snipped.  The cover grades VG+.

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 $15.  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 $20 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.
