Description
ATTENTION HOWLIN' WOLF AND 1950s AMERICAN BLUES LP COLLECTORS!
HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1959 AMERICAN PRESSING MONO USA ISSUE CHESS BLACK "GROOVED" LABEL OF A RARELY SEEN HOWLIN' WOLF LP:"MOANIN' IN THE MOONLIGHT".
ONE OWNER ONLY SINCE BOUGHT NEW AS AN IMPORT FROM A LONDON BLUES AND JAZZ SHOP IN THE EARLY 1960s AND HAS HAD ONLY A FEW DOZEN PLAYS SINCE THEN ON DECENT EQUIPEMENT AND AS SUCH IS STRICTLY GRADED IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
UNDER VERY STRONG LIGHT THERE ARE SOME FAINT WISPY,HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS BUT THERE ARE GLEAMING SURFACES. THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A CLASSIC IN SOLID MONO WITH A BEAUTIFULLY PRESERVED COVER.
PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS.
THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED ON DECENT EQUIPMENT FROM A LONG TERM COLLECTOR AND CUSTOMER OF MINE OF MANY YEARS WHO WAS ALSO A MUSICIAN AND TOOK GREAT PRIDE AND CARE IN HIS RECORDS. AFTER MANY MONTHS OF THINKING ABOUT IT IS NOW PRUNING DOWN HIS BRILLIANTLY CARED FOR AND IMPRESSIVE COLLECTION BUT HAS ENTRUSTED ME DUE TO MY CARE AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL AS WELL AS BEING A LOVER OF THE MUSIC!
THE PRESSING IS IN MONO:CHESS CH 1434 WITH THE "DEEP GROOVED BLACK LABEL" DESIGNS.
VERY CLEAN LABELS WITH NO STAINING,WRITING OR FADING!
I TEST ON EQUIPMENT USING NO FILTERS,MONO SWITCH OR ANYTHING TO "SWEETEN" THE SOUND OR "HIDE" ANY SOUND FAULTS. IT REALLY IS A SPLENDED EXAMPLE.HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE!
THE COVER IS AMAZING! JUST THE VERY SLIGHTEST MILD RING WEAR AGE STAINING.THERE ARE A COUPLE OF MINOR CREASES AND THAT IS BEING REALLY STRICT. THERE IS NO MAJOR WEAR,NO SMOKEY OR DAMP SMELL. THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS NOT A SMOKER. IT IS AN ABSOLUTE JOY TO OFFER THIS ITEM FOR BIDS.
I WILL NOT TAKE OFFERS OR END THE AUCTION EARLY. I CANNOT ACCEPT BIDS FROM ABROAD DUE TO THE CONTINUAL GIFT OF BREXIT.
COLLECTION IN PERSON CAN BE MADE AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.
I WILL NOT ACCEPT REQUESTS OF "CAN I PAY YOU IN A MONTH'S TIME WHEN I GET PAID" AS IN THE CASE OF A RECENT TIMEWASTER ON ANOTHER AUCTION.
I THINK I HAVE COVERED EVERYTHING BUT ANY QUESTIONS DO GET IN TOUCH BUT YES! I HAVE PLAYED IT,TWICE INFACT TO TEST IT.
I HAVE BEEN A DEALER SINCE 1986 AND LOVER OF JAZZ AND BLUES FOR OVER 50 YEARS.RESPECT ME AND I WILL RESPECT YOU-SIMPLE AS THAT.
A REALISTIC £40 STARTING PRICE.YOU ARE UNLIKELY TO GET ANOTHER ONE AS GOOD AS THIS FOR SOMETIME UNLESS YOU ARE VERY LUCKY.
