Description

This album is both rarity and oddity. The Blues Busters recorded "Truth" for the tiny independent SARGE RECORDS in London (UK) back in 1978. These classic tracks were pressed into slab-like wax. Heavy platter this. And when they made a mistake at the plant they just kept on going. If you look at the 3rd photo you can see that they accidentally put another Sarge label for Delroy Wilson on this album. Then they crossed it out and wrote "Blues Busters" and shipped it out that way. The mistake was understandable. They were a bit new at this-it was the very first album Sarge actually released~SARGE 1001.
I played the first 60 seconds of track one and it is the right album. It is MINT-never played outside of my 60 second test. The sleeve is gorgeous with minimal wear. The glue along the bottom edge of the jacket is starting to come loose after 32 years. You won't find this classic rarity in mint condition again.
All shipping costs quoted are for USA addresses only. If you are outside of the USA I can get you shipping quotes if you e-mail me before you bid. 
Payment by PayPal only. No e-Checks! Winning bidder pays within 3 days.Thank you.
Here are my vinyl grading specifications:
M=Mint. Vinyl that has never been played. If it has been played even once it cannot be called mint.
NM=Near Mint. Vinyl that has almost no detectable wear. It has either been played just a few times or it belonged to an audiophile who has lavished great care on records. 
E=Excellent. Vinyl that has some visible wear but nothing significant like deep scratches.
G=Good. Vinyl that has visible surface wear that causes some surface noise but nothing major. 
A=Acceptable. Vinyl that is still playable. Surface noise. Visible scratches. Cosmetic flaws. But you really wanted this record.
J=Junk vinyl. It skips. It is damaged. But it is so rare that you cannot discard it.
