Description

This is an auction for a rare LP by Muddy Waters- After The Rain.

This was released on Chess Records in 1969 and has catalogue number CRLS4553. This is the 1st pressing with a flipback sleeve and is stereo.

Matrix Numbers- CRLS 4553 A1 CRLS 4553 B1

Condition: The sleeve has some light discolouring. There are a few lamination creases, slight creasing on the rear and lastly light buffing to the very corners. Spine and edges fine, no tears, bends or creases, lamination at mouth ex. Please check the pictures a very nice sleeve and graded at a strict VG.

This comes with its original patent inner sleeve that has a little yellowing (no tears).

Labels: Both labels are clean, under closer examination some spider spindle trails can be seen on each side, the centre hole shows no signs of wear on both sides.

Vinyl- both sides retain there near new shine, when held under a strong light only two feather scratches can be seen. I have play tested this record through both sides.

Side 1 has a quiet entry and goes on to play with very little lessening in sound quality. Quiet introductions and breaks between tracks, the music itself plays strong and clear with no distortion, fading or dragging heard whatsoever, other than the occasional very quiet crackle this side plays perfectly.

Side 2 has the same quiet entry and breaks between tracks. The music itself plays strong and clear through this side with no fading, distortion or dragging heard whatsoever. Again other than the very occasional very quiet crackle you would think it was new.

This plays at Near Mint, with very little lessening in sound quality but is given a strict grade of VG+, down-graded simply because it has been played more than a few times.

A fine addition to any collection.
