·       JOHN LEE HOOKER – HOUSE OF THE BLUES – 1960 CHESS RECORDS MONO LP 1438

 

·       GENUINE U.S. PRESSING

 

·       VERY EARLY PRESSING CIRCA 1962/63 ON ALL-BLUE CHESS LABEL WITH SILVER PRINT (THIS IS NOT A MID-60s PRESSING ON BLUE-FADES-TO-WHITE LABEL).

 

·       MONSTROUSLY RARE MONO PRESSING, MANY TIMES RARER THAN FAKE (“ELECTRONICALLY RECHANNELLED”) VERSION

 

·       ORIGINAL, THICK CARDBOARD COVER (AMERICAN STYLE)

 

·       THICK, HEAVY VINYL PRESSING

 

·       CLEAN, WEAR-FREE LABELS

 

·       THE RECORD HAS A 'SHELDON' MACHINE STAMP IN THE TRAIL-OFF VINYL (DEAD WAX) AREA, WHICH IS GENERALLY CONSIDERED A PROOF OF AUTHENTICITY OF THE FIRST PRESSING (WE ARE ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE THAT THIS PRESSING WAS MADE FROM THE SAME STAMPERS AS THE BLACK LABEL PRESSING)

 

·       As far as we know, this album is currently out of print and unavailable on Compact Disc, or in any other format.

 

(PLEASE SEE THE IMAGE OF THE COVER, LABEL OR BOTH, SHOWN BELOW)

(Note: this is a REAL image of the ACTUAL item you are bidding on. This is NOT a "recycled" image from our previous auction. What you see is what you’ll get. GUARANTEED!)

·       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)            WE GRADE THE VINYL AS EXCELLENT. This is one of those albums that are somewhat difficult to grade. It is somewhere between VG++ and NEAR MINT, just a notch below NEAR MINT. A few light abrasions ARE visible, but they are extremely shallow, superficial and only moderately visually distracting (nothing significant).For the most part, the vinyl looks impeccable without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

 

(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)             Mono pressing of this title is much rarer, and by far more preferable to its FAKE ("electronically rechannelled") stereo counterpart. We estimate that FAKE stereo copies of this album outnumber monos by a ratio of at least 15:1.

 

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

 

 

·       COVER

 

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD++ (VG++).

 

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

 

-         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

 

-         Cover has some light yellowish stains, probably from exposure to humidity (nothing significant).

 

-         Cover shows some light yellowing on back side, apparently from aging.

 

-         Minor shelf wear noted on the bottom seam (nothing significant)

 

-         Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the spine

 

 

NO OTHER IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER:

 

-         No split seams
