Description

DIRTY BLUES BAND EMI/STATESIDE BLUESWAY 1968 DEBUT ALBUM RARE UK MONO 1ST PRESSING

I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A FIRST UK PRESSING OF THIS RARE AND SORT AFTER ALBUM.THIS CALIFORNIAN BAND HAS A WELL DESERVED REPUTATION AS A CLASSIC '60's BLUES REVIVALISTS. RECORDED IN THE STATES, THIS IS A RARE UK PRESSING ON THE EMI STATESIDE LABEL SL10234

THE FLIPBACK OUTER SLEEVE BY GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE LTD IS LAMINATED TO THE FRONT AND IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION FOR ITS AGE. THERE IS NO RIPS/ TEARS, IT HAS SOME CREASING AND THE FRONT SHOWS A RING MARK. THE EDGES ARE ALL EXCELLENT, THE PINCHED SPINE IS CLEAN AND TEXT IS NICE AND CLEAR. THE BACK COVER IS UNLAMINATED AND SHOWS  A BIT OF THE GRIME OF ITS AGE AND A SLIGHT RING MARK,THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PIN HOLES WHICH CAN BE SEEN ON SCRUTINY.

THE THICK VINYL SHOWS LITTLE SIGNS OF USE AND RETAINS A GOOD SHINE AND HAS VERY LIGHT SURFACE MARKS WHICH DON'T EFFECT PLAY. THE RUN OUT IS STAMPED SIDE A SRX 3489-1 1R AND SIDE B SRX 3490-1 1R. THE ALBUM PLAYS WELL BUT THERE IS EVIDENT LIGHT SURFACE NOISE THROUGHOUT, NO SCRATCHES OR JUMPS.  

THE LABELS ARE VERY CLEAN, A FEW SPINDLE MARKS CAN BE SEEN AND TIGHT SPINDLE HOLE IS EVIDENT OF LITTLE USE.

THE INNER SLEEVE IS ORIGINAL PLAIN PAPER.

SO ACCORDING TO THE GRADING BELOW I RATE THE SLEEVE VG+, THE RECORD AS VG

"MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplaced should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."

 I  TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ITEM DESCRIPTION IS AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE HOWEVER GRADING VINYL IS SUBJECTIVE. I GRADE ON THE BASIS THAT THERE WILL BE A DEGREE OF BACKGROUND NOISE AND THE OCCASIONAL POP, PARTICULARLY ON THE QUIET SECTIONS, BETWEEN TRACKS AND FADE INS/OUTS.SUCH NOISE WILL NOT MEAN A DEGRADING OF QUALITY RATING.

 I  GRADE THE ALBUMS BY LISTENING TO THEM ON A GOOD QUALITY SYSTEM. THOSE ALBUMS WHICH WILL ATTRACT LOW VALUE MAY BE VISUALLY GRADED AND STATED AS SUCH IN THE DESCRIPTION.
