Wanna hear the genuine Soul/R&B diva belting out some savage Blues like there's no tomorrow? Grab this disc this very instant!

 

Recorded during Etta's two consecutive performances at Nashville's 'New Era Club" in September of 1963, this album captures Etta at her most driven and intense artistic (and performing) peak [so intense, in fact, that you can still see her bandaged wrist from the unsuccessful suicide attempt on the front cover!] . Plus, you will hear the first-ever attempt by a blues singer to emulate the sound of a mouth harp (about ten years before Jim Morrison did the same on "Cars hiss by my window"). Not to mention that the disc is a true stereo version of the performance, which is next-to-impossible to find on original vinyl. Track listing: Something's Got A Hold On Me - Baby What You Want Me To Do -  What'd I Say -  Money (That's What I Want) - Seven Day Fool -  Sweet Little Angel -  Ooh Poo Pah Doo - Woke Up This Morning.

 

***

 

Simply one of the greatest live blues albums ever captured on tape. Cut in 1963 at the New Era Club in Nashville, the set finds Etta James in stellar shape as she forcefully delivers her own "Something's Got a Hold on Me" and "Seven Day Fool" interspersed with a diet of sizzling covers ("What'd I Say," "Sweet Little Angel," "Money," "Ooh Poo Pah Doo") ...Guitarist David T. Walker  is outstanding whenever he solos.

·                               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)          THE VINYL IS IN DECENT, VERY GOOD (VG) CONDITION. CAUTION: The vinyl is NOT MINT or NEAR MINT, but is nevertheless in clean, playable condition. There are a few surface marks and abrasions, mostly light and superficial, although some may be longer than 1.1/4 inches  (1 inch = 2.5 centimeters) and a few others that might cause short periods of pops and clicks, specially during the low, quiet passages.

 

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

 

 

·       COVER

 

THE COVER IS ABOUT VERY GOOD+(+)

 

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

 

-        Old, yellowed piece of scotch tape has been completely removed from the opening side (on the back panel) and partially removed (from the front panel), leaving unseemly ½-inch yellowish discoloration (back side) and sticky tape residue (front side). There are NO peel-off marks from the removal of the tape.

 

-         Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); 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 3

 

-         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.

 

-         Cover has a minor 'bump' (dent) along the opening side (about ½ inch)

 

-         Cover has a few wrinkles along the spine

 

-         Cover has a sticker residue (partially peeled remnants of the price sticker or some other sticker; the buyer can probably remove these small, still affixed bits and pieces of the sticker with a minor effort)

 

-         Minor shelf wear noted on the seams (nothing significant)

 

 

NO OTHER IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER:

 

-        No split seams (yet)

-        No cut-out (drill) holes.

-        No cut-out corners

-        No saw-marks or indents

-        No writing

-        No stamps

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

-        No peel-off marks

-        No mold or mildew spots

-        No water damage

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

-        No warping

-        No bar codes

-        No RIAA stamps or stickers.
