JOHN LEE HOOKER The Country Blues Of 1st Press MINT Riverside LP DG 1959 Blues

SEE OUR OTHER RARE BLUES AND R&B RECORDS THIS WEEK

Here's an astoundingly rare Mint to Near Mint/Mint 1959 first pressing of THE COUNTRY BLUES OF JOHN LEE HOOKER on Riverside. This is in unbelievable condition, without any sign of wear nor even a single spindle mark. A tiny neat stamp on the back cover which is otherwise mint is the only minor distraction evident. You'll never see a nicer copy of this great album. See our other listings this week for other ultra rare Blues and R&B lp's from the same collection. We grade all records visually, cover first, then disc; using the abbreviations M / NM / EX / VG with + and -. We try to describe everything as accurately as possible, and spot check any vinyl flaw that looks like it might make a sound.
We regularly receive praise for our grading, but as all grading is subjective, we are happy to give a full refund for anything you aren’t happy with—no questions asked.

We welcome International buyers and ship around the world every week.

US & Canada Shipping: $9 for 1-2 LP's by insured Priority Mail (Ebay’s recent rule change requires us to offer Media Mail shipping for records, at $4.00 for 1 LP. As this is a very slow method of shipping and uninsured, we cannot guarantee safe delivery by this method and strongly recommend paying extra for the much quicker and safer Priority Mail.) $15 for 1-2 posters, shipped priority mail in a new mailer/tube & US orders are automatically insured for up to $200 in value. Calif. buyers add 8.75% sales tax (calculated automatically by Paypal.) All other items shipped at cost.

International Shipping: $16 for 1 LP airmail. $4 for each additional LP; $21 for 1-2 posters. Registered mail is an additional $11, and airmail express to most countries is $38. All other items shipped at cost. Because of issues with the Italian, Russian, Ukrane and Georgian Post Office, we highly recommend either express or registered mail for all Italian orders and cannot be responsible for any order shipped to these countries without express or registered shipping.
