HOWLING WOLF SINGS THE BLUES VERY RARE AUTOGRAPHED LP BY THE GREAT MAN HIMSELF

CROWN RECORDS CAT NO: CLP 5240

THIS IS AN EXTREMELY RARE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE THIS SUPERB SIGNED RECORD.

IT WAS GIFTED TO ME MANY YEARS AGO BY A FRIEND WHO USED TO FREQUENT BLUES CLUBS WAY BACK IN THE SIXTIES. THE ADVENT OF BANDS LIKE THE ROLLING STONES, JOHN MAYALLS BLUESBREAKERS, ALEXIS KORNER, FLEETWOOD MAC AND CREAM BROUGHT THE ORIGINAL BLUESMEN LIKE HOWLING WOLF TO LIGHT IN THE UK. IT WAS ON ONE OF HIS VISITS OVER HERE THAT THIS RECORD WAS SIGNED.

THE RECORD IS SIGNED TWICE ON THE FRONT COVER IN BLUE PEN, ONCE IN HIS STAGE NAME OF "HOWLING WOLF" AND ANOTHER DIRECTLY UNDER THIS IN HIS REAL NAME OF "CHESTER A.BURNETT".

THE SIGNATURES ON THIS LP COVER ARE CLEAR AND SMUDGE FREE, AND FOR THE LAST THIRTY YEARS OR SO IT HAS LIVED STORED VERY NEATLY AWAY IN A PLASTIC SLEEVE, ALONGSIDE MY OTHER CHERISHED VINYL.

TRACKS INCLUDE: HOUSE ROCKIN' BOOGIE, KEEP WHAT YOU GOT, DOG ME AROUND, MORNING AT MIDNIGHT, BACKSLIDE BOOGIE, RIDING IN THE MOONLIGHT, WORRIED ABOUT MY BABY, CRYING AT DAYLIGHT, BROWN SKIN WOMAN AND TWISTING AND TURNING.

CONDITION IS AS FOLLOWS: THE COVER HAS CLEAR TAPE RUNNING AROUND ALL THREE SIDES, BUT OTHER THAN THAT IT IS STILL VERY VIBRANT AND COLOURFUL, THE LABELS SHOW SIGNS OF SPINDLE-WEAR, THE RECORD WHICH IS AN EXTREMELY THICK PRESSING SHOWS LIGHT SURFACE SCRATCHES BUT PLAYS EXCELLENT WITH ONLY MINOR BACKGROUND CRACKLE.

THIS IS ONE FOR THE SERIOUS COLLECTOR AND I THINK IT WILL BE A VERY LONG TIME BEFORE A BETTER EXAMPLE OF THESE VERY RARE SIGNATURES TURN UP FOR SALE.

I HAVE PUT A REASONABLE RESERVE ON THIS AUCTION DUE TO ITS RARITY.

PLEASE NOTE THAT I HAVE ONLY QUOTED SIGNED FOR INTERNATIONAL AIR-MAIL IN MY POSTAGE PRICES, SO SORRY IN ADVANCE FOR THE COST, BUT THIS WILL BE THE SAFEST WAY TO SHIP THIS ITEM OVERSEAS AS IT WILL REQUIRE A SIGNATURE WHEN IT ARRIVES AND IT CAN ALSO BE TRACKED.

UK RESIDENTS CAN PAY USING PAY-PAL, CHEQUE OR POSTAL ORDER.

OVERSEAS PAYMENT BY PAY-PAL ONLY. THANKS.

IF YOU ARE NOT TOTALLY DELIGHTED WITH YOUR PURCHASE, PLEASE RETURN IT TO ME FOR A REFUND.

PAYMENT TO BE RECEIVED WITHIN SEVEN DAYS OF AUCTION END AND PLEASE, GENUINE BIDDERS ONLY.

THANKS FOR LOOKING.
