One of the truly classic blues albums of the 1960s, and one of the first to fully document the smoky ambiance of a night at a West Side nightspot in the superior acoustics of a recording studio. Wells just set up with his usual cohorts -- guitarist Buddy Guy (billed as "Friendly Chap" on first vinyl pressings), bassist Jack Myers, and drummer Billy Warren -- and proceeded to blow up a storm, bringing an immediacy to "Snatch It Back and Hold It," "You Don't Love Me," "Chitlin con Carne," and the rest of the tracks that is absolutely mesmerizing.

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1965 1ST PRESSING ON THE DELMARK PALE BLUE & WHITE LABEL WITH BLUE PRINT # DS-9612 RECORDED IN STEREO!!! THIS HAS THE LARGE "D" LOGO IN A SQUARE NOT A CIRCLE. HAND ETCHED INTO BOTH SIDES OF THE DEAD WAX IS (SIDE 1) T4RS-1737-1(AND ON SIDE 2) T4RS-1738-1 WHICH GENERALLY INDICATES AN EARLY 1ST PRESSING! IN ADDITION, THIS HAS THE MEGA-RARE "FRIENDLY CHAP" COVER  WHICH FOR CONTRACTUAL REASONS DID NOT CREDIT BUDDY GUY UNDER HIS REAL NAME. INSTEAD, ONLY REFERRING TO HIM AS A "FRIENDLY CHAP"  BOTH THE COVER AND THE LABEL FEATURES THE 7 WEST GRAND CHICAGO ILL ADDRESS!

 

VISUALLY, THE 52 YEAR OLD THICK VINYL DISC IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION! I HAVE EXAMINED THIS UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND DO SEE THAT THE RARE PLATTER HAS RETAINED  MUCH OF OF IT'S ORIGINAL DEEP RICH LUSTER! SOME WEAR IS EVIDENT BUT STILL PLENTY OF SHINE!

I DO SEE SOME  EXTREMELY LIGHT SCUFFS/HAIRLINES (MOSTLY OF THE SWIRLY VARIETY) WITH A TINY PORTION ON 1 OR 2 THAT CONSIDERED TO BE JUST BARELY FEEL-ABLE. HOWEVER NOTHING THAT WOULD EFFECT THE INCREDIBLE LISTENING EXPERIENCE!

I GRADE THE VINYL AS EX! CONDITION

 

THE  LABELS AS YOU CAN SEE ARE  EX + AS WELL! THEY ARE FREE FROM ANY WRITING TAPE OR STICKERS AND SHOW ONLY MINORS SIGNS OF USE!

 

THE COVER PRESENTS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL! THERE IS NO SPLITTING,WRITING, TAPE OR STICKERS ANYWHERE! THE SEAMS ARE UN-SPLIT & TIGHT WIT LIGHT WEAR,THE SPINE IS UN-SPLIT, VERY STRONG, TIGHT & READABLE, WITH VERY LIGHT WEAR. THERE ARE SOME MINOR DINGS/CREASES AS SHOWN. THERE IS SOME VERY MINOR EVIDENCE RING/SHELF WEAR ON BOTH SIDES ON THE FRONT (BOTTOM) AND LITTLE TO NONE ON THE REVERSE SIDE!

 

THE REVERSE SIDE LINER NOTES WERE VERY CLEAN, PERFECTLY READABLE AND VERY INFORMATIVE!  

THERE IS SOME MINOR STAINING /SOILING/DINGS/CREASES AS SHOWN. BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS I FEEL THE COVER GRADES AS NRMT-

I HAVE  PLAY GRADED THIS MOMENTS AGO AND THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS FANTASTIC!!

THE SONG SELECTION IS JUST AWESOME!  

THERE WAS SOME MINOR NOISE OCCASIONALLY NOTICEABLE MOSTLY IN THE QUITE PASSAGES. BUT  NOTHING I CONSIDERED TO DISTRACTING IN ANY WAY! THERE WERE NO SKIPS, STICKS, OR LOUD DISTRACTING POPS, HISSES, CLICKS,TICKS OR BURPS! THIS BABY PLAYS LOUD & PROUD! THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE GRADES EXCELLENT+!!

OVERALL CONSIDERING ALL OF THE ABOVE I FEEL THIS LP DESERVES A GRADE OF EX+ AND WILL PROVIDE THE NEW OWNER WITH A WONDERFUL LISTENING EXPERIENCE FOR MANY YEARS TO COME!

WE USE GOLDMINE AS GUIDELINE FOR OUR GRADING SYSTEM.

ALL RECORDS ARE VISUALLY INSPECTED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. I TRY TO PLAY GRADE WHEN POSSIBLE OR AT LEAST IN ANY AREAS IDENTIFIED AS QUESTIONABLE FROM THE VISUAL INSPECTION.

 

MINT

Mint records are in most cases sealed in original shrink wrap. The only wear permissible is to the shrink wrap itself.

 

NEAR-MINT

NM records have glossy vinyl. There are no visible defects such as writing, tape, or stickers on the labels. The labels should not contain any spindle marks(from someone blindly trying to put the record on the turntable) The vinyl may have a few extremely fine hairline scratches or light scuffs that do not affect the sound quality. The vinyl will "appear" to have been unplayed (It may very well have been played and well-cared for)The album cover will haveNO writing, tape, creases, folds, seam splits,stains, ring wear or Promo holes or cuts!

VG+(EXCELLENT)

VG+records have glossy vinyl. Slight signs of wear, including light scuffs, very light scratches or slight warping that does not seriously affect the listening experience is permissible. Very slight intermittent background noise mostly in the quiet passages is acceptable.

The album cover will have no more than three of the following imperfections: light writing such as initials or name in one area, minor creasing, seam splits,  Neatly taped seams. It may also contain very slight ring wear or discoloration, a promo stamp, punch hole or cut-out as originally sold.

VG

VG Records have more obvious flaws such as more pronounced scratches & lack of gloss. Groove wear and scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail are common. When played there will be surface noise but it should not continuously overpower the music. There areNO skips permissible with no more than 1.5 grahams of tracking force. It is common to hear crackling and pops especially in the quiet passages. The labels may contain writing such as a persons name or initials or it may contain a piece of tape or sticker with or without writing. The cover may have some seam splits, writing, tape, stickers, ring wear and scuffs.

VG-

VG- All of the defects listed VG category would be more pronounced. The record will play through without skipping WITH tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. The record will have many obvious flaws but still enjoyable to listen to. Generally if the record is rare, it is still highly collectible.

G/G+

Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping WITH tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. It will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
