  MEMPHIS SLIM – THE 1961 SAME-TITLED FIRST CHESS ALBUM (“MEMPHIS SLIM”) - CHESS RECORDS 1961  MONO LP 1455

 

·       GENUINE U.S. PRESSING

 

·       ONE OF ONLY TWO (2) ALBUMS MEMPHIS SLIM RECORDED FOR THE LEGENDARY BLUES LABEL (THE OTHER ONE WAS 1965 ‘REAL FOLK BLUES’)

 

·       VERY EARLY PRESSING CIRCA 1962/63 ON ALL-BLUE CHESS LABEL WITH SILVER PRINT (THIS IS NOT A MID-60s PRESSING ON BLUE-FADES-TO-WHITE LABEL).

 

·       MONSTROUSLY RARE MONO PRESSING, MANY TIMES RARER THAN FAKE (“ELECTRONICALLY RECHANNELLED”) VERSION

 

·       DEEP GROOVE PRESSING

 

·       THIS IS NOT AN IMPORT OR A COUNTERFEIT PRESSING.

 

·       ORIGINAL, THICK CARDBOARD COVER (AMERICAN STYLE)

 

·       CLEAN, WEAR-FREE LABELS

 

·       THICK, HEAVY VINYL PRESSING

 

·       THE RECORD HAS A 'SHELDON' MACHINE STAMP IN THE TRAIL-OFF VINYL (DEAD WAX) AREA, WHICH IS GENERALLY CONSIDERED A PROOF OF AUTHENTICITY OF THE FIRST PRESSING (WE ARE ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE THAT THIS PRESSING WAS MADE FROM THE SAME STAMPERS AS THE BLACK LABEL PRESSING)


Record Grade: Its hard to rate this, so let me explain. All the songs except one are NM-.  But...I need to refer you to the last of the photos. Song one, side one has a pressing defect that has left a large part of "Little City Woman" without grooves.  So that song is unplayable. If however you would like a first edition mono copy of a rare album and are willing to put the needle down at the second song, you have a very nice playing record.  Should you decide to buy this record, please include with your bid a note that you have read and understand this.  (Play and visually Graded)

Cover Grade: VG++, Light ring-wear, a wrinkle on the front cover and a little edge-wear.  (See Photos)
