IF BIDDING FROM OUTSIDE THE UK THEN PLEASE NOTE THAT I USE EBAY'S GSP FOR POSTING. THESE COSTS CAN BE HIGH. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO PAY THESE PRICES THEN PLEASE DO NOT BID. However I am willing to listen to requests to post outside of Ebay through signed-for and tracked. I would recommend using Ebay though as they cover taxes, customs lost items etc. Europe postings will cost £15 for a single item if I send them.
Unfortunately I need to cash in on some of my record collection to help fund my retirement so I would like to pass on these records to other people to share the enjoyment that I have had with the collection over the last 50 years.
For auction here is a very nice UK copy of Lightnin' Slim's UK LP 'Rooster Blues' issued in 1970 on Mike Vernon's Blue Horizon label in stereo S 7-63863. Matrix run-out numbers are S7 63863 A1 on the A side and S7 63863 B1 on the B side. This is part of the 'Post War Masters' series.
The cover is in decent condition with no major creases. As can be seen there are NO stickers, NO tears and NO writing. There are scuffs around the edges and some marks on the front cover. Light impressions from the record can be seen on both the front and the back of the cover.
The inner sleeve is intact with no tears but does bear a stamp of probably of the previous owner. As it's a CBS themed sleeve it is possibly the one right one for this release as CBS originally pressed and distributed Blue Horizon before the contract went to Polydor.
Looking at the vinyl on both sides it looks, to all intents and purposes, completely free of marks and scratches. The labels are completely clean being free of stickers and writing. There could be spindle marks, it's hard to tell but it's also possible that there are none.
Tracks:- Side 1 Rooster Blues Long Leanie Mama My Starter Won't Work G.I. Slim Bed Bug Blues Lightnin's Troubles
Side 2 Hoo-Doo Blues It's Mughty Crazy Sweet Little Woman Tom Cat Blues Feelin' Awful Blue I'm Leavin' You Baby
I have played the vinyl through on both sides. Both sides play excellently and there is very little noticeable background noise (if any). I did hear two clicks overall but these could have been caused by dust.
Audibly the music comes through very clearly and you should not be disappointed by the reproduction. Some great post-war Blues to listen to and enjoy.
For playback I use an Ortofon cartridge on a Technics SL1210MK2 through a Denon DRA 375RD amplifier to Wharfdale 3200 speakers.
I have started this off at £4.99 which is a fair start in my opinion.
Please bid with confidence as I have a 100% positive feedback rating.
I am willing to post multiple items abroad which will be tracked and signed-for. Payments for this method go direct through Paypal as Ebay's GSP does not cater for multiple item sales unfortunately.
I try to adhere as closely as possible to the Record Collector Magazine grading system which is shown below as a guide. I do add + and - to gradings for intermediate conditions. Any record described as 'Mint' will mean 'Unplayed'.
RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING SYSTEM
Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable Good (G) Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-fillerprice rating
