SONNY BOY WILLIAMSON

Down And Out Blues

CHECKER LP 1437

Impossibly rare original issue deep groove mono pressing LP

On black Checker label -- Checker of course one of the great Chess labels.

Sonny Boy ranks as one of my very favorite bluesmen of all time. A surreal poet armed with a harmonica, a filthy mouth and a bad temper, Williamson no doubt taught a young Bob Dylan a thing or two about being crafting a song and breaking the rules.

Cover shows some shelf wear. There is very old silver tape on top and bottom edges. Spine has a bit of paper rubbed off the cardboard near the center. There is a bit of pen writing on back. See photo.

Vinyl shows many surface marks on the faces. Most all are fully and completely superficial. There are a couple of small marks I can just lightly feel to the touch. I am listening to the LP as I type this and, while there is some (and not much to my ears) audible surface sounds, the music -- menacing, harrowing, powerful -- comes through with more force than any reissue or CD version I've ever heard.

All in all, this is a great LP at a remarkable starting price.
