Description


  ROBERT JOHNSON LP KING OF THE DELTA BLUES SINGER (Columbia Records CL 1654). Released 1961.


      CONDITION OF COVER ............. NEAR MINT


      CONDITION OF DISC ................. VERY GOOD PLUS


 


  Original US mono PROMO pressing on the highly-collectible red & black Columbia 6-Eye label. The wax is in fantastic shape. On back cover stamped in red is: "Demonstration Not for Sale." Also, on the side B label is a white sticker which reads, "For Demonstration Use Only - Not for Sale". This promo copy will have much richer sound than even an original 6-eye stock copy because promos were from an earlier run at the pressing plant when the stamper was still hottest & giving its highest fidelity. Truly wonderful-looking grooves & platter surface. No scratches or scuffs. Great reflective sheen on the platter surface. No blemishes on richly-colored label (not even spindle scuffs). The cover is close to Near Mint, with no seam splits, stains, fraying, tears, writing, cut-out marks, water damage, discoloration or any other major blemishes. Spine is fully readable with no blemishes. Front cover shows just a hint of faint ring wear speckling which blends in well. Highly informative discographical notes on back. Includes the lovely full-color inner sleeve adorned with covers from Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck & from the great Columbia releases of the day. Great cover painting by the late Burt Goldblatt. Many of the songs on this artifact are previously unreleased masters. (Stamped matrix #: XLP 53016-2C").






































 COVER - VERY GOOD PLUS

      Almost in Near Mint shape. No seam splits, stains, tears, smudges, fraying, bubbles, water damage, cut-out marks, writing, price tags or color fading. Spine print is fully readable with no cuts or other blemishes. Hardly any corner banging. Two small areas of faint ring wear speckling which blend in well. Spines look quite great & are fully readable. Hardly any corner banging. Deep rich color throughout cover & labels. Label looks really fine with no blemishes. Sharp cut holes free of spindle brushings.





DISC - NEAR MINT

  We give great importance to grading our items accurately. No scratches, scuffs, stains, warping, flecks, abrasions, or residue on the discs or dead wax. Two very faint inaudible pits on side A, cut 6 & a faint, inaudible, barely visible "shadow wisp" is all I can spot. Album has been safely stored upright in climate-controlled conditions.
