Sparse, live production with Harmonica and guitar songs. Might be one overdub on the whole thing..Vocals remind me of John Mayall for some reason.
A very cool record to listen to.

I understand this is about as rare as a cool 60's garage band blues record gets. Rated at a high "5 disc rating" in Hans Pokora's "4001 Record Collector Dreams" book!  (found that on the net)
At the price I'm asking you deserve a thorough, honest description. I'll expand on my previous description.

Cover:
Still in the unbroken, untorn shrink. It's only opened to remove the as-new, near mint album.. Seams are as new, front corners only the very slightest of handling wear..Looks new. not much to describe due to the Shrink on it.

Vinyl:
I call it M- 
This is in as good shape as can be. It is very clean, and absolutely glossy smooth and looks new. Record plays perfectly.
Please see the pictures to see what I'm describing here. It has a couple of VERY subtly slightly "dirty looking" areas on it in the play area and a mildly hazy area in the Dead Wax that doesn't wipe away with a careful wipe of the velvet. It looks like these areas I'm describing are dirt.  I did not clean the record recently to sell it. I'll let you see it as is, and I don't want to risk scratching it any further..
I did clean the record
carefully once a long while back when I got it. I don't have a cleaning machine or anything like that. And I didn't clean it to sell it at that time. I cleaned it just to get it clean. If you clean these properly with a machine or the like, it may come perfectly clean.


I see a couple of very subtle, slight very small scuff type smudged areas near the outer edge on one side in a small area that don't wipe away with the velvet. They might be sleeve scuffs, but they are short (1/4 inch)  and very subtle. I wouldn't doubt if they were there from being packaged. Again, I can't tell if it's subtle dirt or very light sleeve scuffs, but they are very subtle.
There is one scuff in the play area. Pictured. You Judge. Label is sharp, smooth and as new. It has two small pencil point sized indents that are hard to see. They look to be from manufacturing. The spindle hole has no marks around it at all.
The record plays perfectly with no noise.

I've only played it twice since I've had it. Once a long while ago to rip it and the other day again to verify the quality before listing it again.
I have a full rip of it and I'll let you hear the start of either side.

I have sold about 100 records give or take, on eBay over the last 5 years. Some real nice ones for good money. Bought a bunch too.
It's been a long while since I sold one out of my collection. I've been into my Car stuff the last few years, But I know how fussy you/us buyers can be.  I'll say this..    NO DISAPPOINTMENTS HERE. Guaranteed.
I'll take the record out of the cover and the sleeve and place it in a shipping sleeve  (from some other record) and ship it out of the cover. I'll wrap the cover in shipping paper. I'll place the record in the shipping sleeve on top of that. and wrap both again in shipping paper. I'll put a cardboard insert on top and bottom, and place a little newspaper in the corners of the record mailer box.
Condition is accurately described.
If you have questions, please ask me.

If you get my records are are not happy with my description, contact me through eBay messages and you can send them back and I'll refund your winning Bid amount only once I get them back in the condition I sold them.
Check my feedback I have sold many records on eBay.. I am fair and honest.

M- "This is highest grade that I will assign to opened, handled records. The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. The label is bright, clean and unmarked."

VG++ "Disc plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a hairline scratch or two but nothing that is obvious or affects play. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked."

I don't play every one, and these are often 40 years old, so they are used items. Many records have some noise when new........
