Description
HERE IS A VERY RARE AND COLLECTIBLE CHESS BLUES LP-1502 (THE REAL FOLK BLUES) HIGH FIDELITY AUTOGRAPHED BY HOWLIN' WOLF AND THREE OF HIS ROAD BAND MEMBERS AT THE TIME, THE LEGENDARY EDDIE SHAW (SAX), AND TWO OTHERS I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH, ANDREW MCMAHON AND DETROIT JR. I HAD PREVIOUSLY SIGNED MY NAME ON THE BACK FOR IDENTIFICATION PURPOSES AS WE FELLOW MUSICIANS USED TO LOAN EACH OTHER RECORDS BACK IN THE DAY TO LEARN THE LICKS. IF IT WASN'T FOR A CHANCE MEETING AT FENWAY PARK WITH A MUSICIAN FRIEND OF MINE, I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE WOLF'S APPEARANCE AT A BLUES BAR IN CAMBRIDGE, MASS. THE FOLLOWING EVENING. WE AGREED TO MEET THERE AND SO I BROUGHT 2 H.W. ALBUMS IN CASE I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET THEM AUTOGRAPHED. IT WAS A FANTASTIC EVENING AS ON THE BREAK A COUPLE BAND MEMBERS CAME OVER TO MY TABLE AND ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO MEET THE WOLF AND GET THE ALBUMS SIGNED. THEY ESCORTED ME TO THE DRESSING ROOM WHICH WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A BACK ROOM WHERE THEY KEPT THE BEER AND THINGS. THERE WAS THE WOLF SITTING BY A SMALL WOODEN TABLE WITH A PLAIN LIGHT BULB HANGING DOWN FROM THE CEILING. I WAS IN AWE AS HE SHOOK HANDS WITH ME AND SIGNED MY ALBUMS. IT WAS TRULY A MOMENT I WILL NEVER FORGET, I HAD FINALLY MET HOWLIN' WOLF. I WISH I COULD REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE AND NAME OF THE BAR (I BELIEVE IT WAS JOE'S PLACE) BUT I KNOW THE CHARLES RIVER WAS ACROSS THE STREET FROM IT. THE GUYS IN THE BAND ALSO TOLD ME THAT WOLF HAD NOT BEEN FEELING WELL AND I KNOW IT WASN'T TOO LONG AFTERWARD THAT HE PASSED AWAY. THE RECORD IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE AND PLAYS WELL ALSO. THERE IS A SMALL TEAR AT THE TOP REVERSE OF THE JACKET BUT NO MAJOR ISSUES. I GUARANTEE THIS ITEM TO BE 100% AUTHENTIC. I KNOW IT IS VALUABLE TO BLUES COLLECTORS AND I NEED TO GET A DECENT PRICE FOR IT. I HAVE BEEN A LIFE LONG COLLECTOR OF MANY ITEMS BUT THE TIME HAS COME TO PASS THEM ALONG TO OTHER COLLECTORS TO ENJOY. I CAN ONLY ACCEPT PAYMENT BY PAYPAL AT THIS TIME. I WILL COMBINE SHIPPING AND HANDLING CHARGES ON YOUR MULTIPLE WINNING BIDS. I WILL SHIP PRIORITY INSURED OR FIRST CLASS MAIL, YOUR CHOICE. PLEASE E-MAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN MY PRESENT AND FUTURE AUCTIONS AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BIDS. PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER LISTINGS FOR ITEMS YOU MAY BE INTERESTED IN ALSO.
