Description
Battle 6114, “How Long Blues” with John Lee Hooker, guitar and vocals. This is the second, early 1960s, cover of the original Riverside “Country Blues” LP. Medium-weight vinyl plays at NM with virtually no background sound. The jacket is in excellent shape with solid seams and square corners and is very clean with no writing or stamps. There is definite age toning. There is a tiny bb hole through the middle of both jacket and LP. Songs are “Black Snake”, “How Long”, “Wobblin’ Blues” “She’s Long, She’s Tall, She Weeps Like a Willow Tree”, “Pea Vine Special”, “Tupelo Blues”, “I’m Prison Bound”, “I Rowed a Little Boat”, “Water Boy”, “Church Bell Tone”, “Bundle Up and Go”, “Good Mornin’ Little Schoolgirl”, and “Behind the Plow”. One of JKH’s most important sessions – if you can’t get a NM copy of the first pressing of this LP, here is a great copy of the second. Shipping is $4.00 media mail, $8.00 priority mail within the continental U.S.; $20.00 regular airmail to the U.K., Europe, Japan, Korea, Australia, and New Zealand. Additional LPs in a single package are $1.00 additional within U.S. and Canada, $2.00 elsewhere. For overseas shipments, registered mail is strongly recommended at $13.00 extra. Many old records are practically antiques and should be treated that way. This LP will be packaged with the record inside an inner sleeve but outside the jacket; both are placed inside a sealed outer sleeve and shipped inside a special oversized handcrafted mailer with padding on all sides. It is designed thick enough not to be bent in transit and strong enough to withstand a drop from a second-story window. More than two LPs together may be mailed inside a heavy Bags Unlimited pizza-style box. Your LP should arrive in the same condition as on the day it was shipped. All used LPs are play-graded on a VPI turntable with Audioquest tonearm and Grado cartridge.
