This is one of Big Joe Turner's best albums, from the peak period of his career (The "Atlantic" years, 1950-1962). This is what comes to mind when the phrase "Blues vocals" is mentioned. This album, almost as much as its author - is a monument to a genre, almost an institution in itself. The role of Joe Turner in the development of modern Blues and Rock and Roll cannot possibly be overestimated. His towering (literally) presence continues even today, almost 20 years from his death. There is no way to properly appraise Joe Turner's influence among the early 50's "Jump Blues" musicians and aficionados. Just one of his songs alone (Shake, Rattle and Roll) played a pivotal role in the development of modern American role (even in a dramatically abridged, butchered versions, as rendered by Bill Haley an Elvis Presley). Atlantic Records, that powerhouse of 1950's blues, soul and R&B is pretty much a house that Big Joe had built. A blues collection without this album is like Paris without Eiffel Tower. Track listing: Switchin' in the kitchen - Nobody in mind - Until the real thing comes along - I get the blues when it rains - Rebecca - When I was young - Don't you make me high - Time after time - Pennies from heaven - Here comes the Iceman

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)            WE GRADE THE VINYL AS EXCELLENT. This is one of those albums that are somewhat difficult to grade. It is somewhere between VG++ and NEAR MINT, just a notch below NEAR MINT. A few light abrasions ARE visible, but they are extremely shallow, superficial and only moderately visually distracting (nothing significant).For the most part, the vinyl looks impeccable without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)            The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)             The record comes in the original stock inner sleeve.

(d)            Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

(e)             Mono pressing of this title is much rarer, and by far more preferable to its stereo counterpart. We think that the mix is more natural, humane, "organic" and that the mixes are somewhat different than on the stereo version. We estimate that stereo copies of this album outnumber mono pressings by a ratio of at least 3:1

·       COVER (THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, LAMINATED, GLOSSY COVER):

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD+++.

(The front, laminated panel of the cover is truly beautiful and – if grade separately from the rest of the cover – would deserve to be graded NEAR MINT)

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-         Cover has a small, neat, circular cutout hole in one of the corners

-         Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant) (VISIBLE ON BACK SIDE ONLY); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and 10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 4.

-         Back cover has circular tarnish (grayish, dust-covered sections, which closely follow the contour of the record), probably caused by friction or by rubbing against other covers during the storage. The tarnish is similar in appearance to a common ring wear, but, UNLIKE ring wear, these grayish areas may be possible to clean up with a minor effort and with a right cleansing solution.

-         Cover shows some light yellowing on back side, apparently from aging.

NO OTHER IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER:

-         No split seams

-         No cut-out corners

-         No saw-marks or indents

-         No wrinkles or creases

-         No writing

-         No stamps

-         No tearing: no chips, dents or nicks on the seams

-         No peel-off marks

-         No stains

-         No mold or mildew spots

-         No stickers or labels

-         No water damage

-         No razor marks, scratches, pressure marks, lines, streaks, or cuts.

-         No warping

-         No wax, glue, paint or liquid drops on the cover

-         No bar codes

-         No RIAA stamps or stickers.
