Description
NEVER EVER SEEN THIS FOR SALE ON EBAY BEFORE- A RARE ORIGINAL UK LP OF EARLY RECORDINGS BY U.S COUNTRY BLUES SINGER/GUITARIST 'SAM' LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS RELEASED ON THE DESIRABLE 2 TONE BLUE LIBERTY LABEL IN 1969 CAT NO LBL 83254 IN MONO TITLED 'KING OF DOWLING STREET' WITH INTERESTING SLEEVE NOTES FROM MIKE LEADBITTER.
A RELUCTANT SALE, BUT JUST ONE OF SEVERAL BLUES & SIMILAR RELATED LP'S (MORE LIBERTY TO FOLLOW ONCE TRANSFERRED TO CD) BEING LISTED OVER THE COMING WEEKS, & MOST OF THESE ARE IN VERY NICE CONDITION- WELL WORTH HAVING A LOOK!!
135 GRAM(approx) VINYL AND BOTH BLUE LABELS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION-HOWEVER, THERE IS LIGHT UNOBTRUSIVE SURFACE NOISE IN PLACES- NOT SURE IF THIS IS DUE TO THE LP HAVING BEEN TAKEN FROM POOR QUALITY STUDIO RECORDINGS BETWEEN 1946 AND 1948, OR IF A GOOD CLEAN OF THE VINYLS GROOVES MIGHT ELIMINATE AND REDUCE SOME OF THIS, BUT AS WITH MOST OF LIGHTNIN'S ESTIMATED 800 PLUS SONGS, THIS IS STILL A BRILLIANT ALBUM TO LISTEN TO.....
AS WITH MOST OF THE LP'S DUE TO BE LISTED, THEY HAVE BEEN STORED ( ALWAYS UPRIGHT) & MAINLY UNPLAYED FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, SO WOULD ALMOST CERTAINLY BENEFIT FROM A PROFESSIONAL DEEP CLEAN....
FRONT LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE HAS LIGHT WEAR ONLY, SOME THUMBNAIL TYPE CREASES ON FRONT & 2 0R THREE OTHER VERY LIGHT CREASES, ONLY MINOR, & THERE IS A RECORD STORE PRICE STICKER ON REAR (SEE PIC), THERE ARE NO SPLITS OR UNWANTED WRITING, NO EDGE WEAR & SPINE CLEARLY READABLE-MUST EASILY GRADE EXCELLENT CONDITION-DIFFICULT TO IMPROVE UPON, AND ONE GREAT ALBUM WHICH SHOULD NOT DISAPPOINT....
PLEASE NOTE; BEFORE POSTING, ALL VINYLS ARE REMOVED FROM THEIR OUTER SLEEVES TO PREVENT ANY SEAM SPLITS, HOUSED IN NEW POLYLINED INNER SLEEVES, NEW OUTER PLASTIC COVERS AND PACKED WITH AT LEAST 3 (MORE IF NECESSARY) CORRUGATED CARDBOARD STIFFENERS TO MINIMISE THE RISK OF ANY DAMAGE DURING TRANSIT...
ALL UK ITEMS POSTED 1ST CLASS..
IF YOU DO REQUIRE ANY OTHER POSTAL SERVICE, I.E SECOND CLASS, RECORDED, SPECIAL DELIVERY ETC, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL AND I WILL ENDEAVOUR TO GET A FIRM PRICE FROM POST OFFICE..
PLEASE NOTE ALSO.. I DO NOT PROFIT FROM POSTAGE AS ALL PACKAGING MATERIALS USED, ( LP'S ALWAYS WELL PACKED) USUALLY COST MORE THAN FINAL P&P PRICE.. IF HOWEVER, THERE IS A PROBLEM, PLEASE CONTACT ME, AND I AM SURE THAT THIS CAN BE RECTIFIED AMICABLY.....
