BLUES 45: EDDIE RIFF My Baby’s Gone Away DOVER (wild Mickey Baker guitar) HEAR

Ain’t That Lovin’ You Baby/My Baby's Gone Away, Dover 102 by Eddie (Riff) Ruffin with Mickey Baker playing some of his hottest guitar licks, William “Washboard Bill” Cook, plus bass and drums. Recorded in New York, c. July 1956, this rarity is considered rockabilly by some. Ain’t That Lovin’ You, Baby is not the song of the same title recorded by Jimmy Reed on Dec. 5, 1955, but this one was the one covered by Elvis Presley. (Writers’ credits are to Clyde Otis and Ivory Joe Hunter.) My Baby's Gone Away is VG+ with some small blemishes and a small label tear. Ain’t That Lovin’ You, Baby has a scratch (visible in the photo) during the first part of the song that causes pops, but no skips, so that portion of the record would be VG- to VG and the rest VG+. 

This is an original pressing, not a repro. 

See grading codes below. See photos for label damage, markings, stickers, etc.

Thanks for buying from my eBay store. Your purchases support my blues writing and research work!

Please keep me in mind if you have blues memorabilia or records you no longer want to keep.

GRADING: LPs, EPs and 45s are graded M (mint), NM (near mint), VG+, VG (very good), VG-, G+, G (good), G-, F (fair), and P (poor).

A VG+ record may have some visible scuffs and light scratches and plays well with little surface noise. Scratches on records graded VG and VG- may be deep enough to feel with your fingernail, or there may be scuffs or scratches throughout that cause surface noise. On records in the G+, G and G- range the level of the music is still above the surface noise caused by scuffs and scratches. Surface noise is as loud as the music on records graded F and louder than the music on P records. P records are likely to be unplayable.

[+ and - denote in-between grades. Grades with a slash in between indicate the condition of Side A/Side B.]

Jackets graded VG+ have only slight wear; jackets graded VG are more worn but still intact unless defects are noted. G jackets show definite damage and F and P jackets are probably falling apart. Splits, markings, cut corners, and other defects will be noted.
