I've only photographed one of the 3 disks, they all look the same but do ask if you need to see other/different pics.
From my personal collection/smoke free home.
This is a very rare record and should not be confused with other similar issues (The complete collection, delta blues etc) many re-issues of Robert Johnston have attempted to squeeze too many tracks onto each LP by narrowing the grooves and lowering of the sound quality. This is one of the few issues not to suffer from these problems.
(n.b. Ebay are automatically adding an EAN number to the listing details above, that is for a different issue but I cant find any way to delete it.)
This LP has only been played a handful of times on top quality hifi.
The speed of this recording is correct - see this page for a discussion

I will be listing quite a few rare 70's-90s LPs over the next few weeks, I'm having a clearout of the stuff I never listen to.
GRADING: graded using the standard UK Record Collector Grading system as follows:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
As well as the above grades, Near Mint is often used as well; this is really for a record that appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner and is assumed to have been played by them. For records which appear to fall between the accepted grades, + and - are also often added to the grading.
Delivered in a corrugated cardboard envelope for safety.
