Record Grade VG+ = Very well maintained. We just listened to the whole album with headphones on. It is a great album. Plays smooth. There are no skips, no jumps, and no interuptions. Amazing condition and quality. The record plays and sounds beautiful and appears as if it was not played much at all. Shiny vinyl. Difficult to find this rare vintage record in such great condition.

When "I Love The Life I Live" was recorded in 1960, this laconic Mississippian wasn't the brilliant lyricist he would later become. But he had great taste. The title track, written by Willie Dixon, sure sounds like a Mose song. "Fool's Paradise" is another gem. Mose's four tunes are instrumentals. The production by Teo Macero makes it feel like you're perched on one end of the piano bench.
