Description
A VERY RARE ORIGINAL UK FIRST PRESS (1L //1 2L //1 MATRIX NO's) LP (IN LOVELY CONDITION) BY COUNTRY BLUES SINGER/GUITARIST 'SAM' LIGHTNING HOPKINS RELEASED ON FONTANA RECORDS IN 1965, A MONO PRESSING CAT NO TL 5264 AND APTLY TITLED 'THE BLUES' WITH NOTES FROM U.S BLUES AUTHOR SAM CHARTERS (see pic 5)....
JUST ONE OF SEVERAL BLUES AND SIMILAR RELATED LP'S BEING LISTED OVER THE COMING WEEKS, AND MOST OF THESE ARE IN VERY NICE CONDITION- WELL WORTH HAVING A LOOK!!
THE 163 GRAM (approx) VINYL BOTH SIDES IN A VERY STRONG EXCELLENT+ CONDITION-EVEN WHEN ANGLED TO THE LIGHT, THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF ANY WEAR, OR EVEN MARKS, CAUSED, USUALLY BY REMOVAL FROM INNER SLEEVE-BOTH CLEAN TEXTURED BLACK/SILVER LABELS EXCELLENT-THERE ARE A FEW LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS VISIBLE, BUT ALWAYS CAREFULLY PLAYED & HANDLED SINCE PURCHASED YEARS AGO ...I AM SURE THIS VINYL WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!!!
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....
GLOSSY FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE HAS VERY LIGHT STORAGE WEAR ONLY, A FEW TINY WRINKLE TYPE CREASES AROUND EDGES & DOWN SPINE, A SOFT CORNER BUMP AND 4 NUMBERS ON THE TOP REAR(see pic), THERE ARE NO SPLITS, OR HEAVY CREASES, NO EDGE WEAR WITH A SOLID CLEARLY READABLE SPINE, & THE PASTED ON REAR WHITE COVER IS MAINLY CLEAN & UNAGED-EASILY GRADES CLOSE TO EXCELLENT OR BETTER CONDITION & ONE SUPERB ALBUM THAT 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 4 (MORE IF NECESSARY) CORRUGATED CARDBOARD STIFFENERS TO MINIMISE THE RISK OF ANY DAMAGE DURING TRANSIT...
