Lonely Girl

LP (Item 518777) ABC/Bluesway, 1974 — Condition: Very Good+
Features a cool Chicago combo – with Phil Upchurch on bass and Gerald Sims on guitar – on titles that include "When I First Came To Chicago", "Juanita", "Lonely Without Love", "The Sky Above", "Neck Bones", and "Lee Jackson's Boogy".  © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Very Good + (plus)

  • Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
  • Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
  • Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
  • This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use (although not major ones).
  • May have slight surface noise when played.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

ABC, 1970. Good Gatefold
BB King hips up his groove a bit here – picking up some of the crossover soul and rock touches used by contemporaries over at Chess/Cadet, and expanding his sound with a range of guests that include Leon Russell, Joe Walsh, and Carole King! Despite the presence of these bigger names, the set' ... LP, Vinyl record album

Bobby Blue Bland

His California Album
ABC, 1973. Very Good+
A nice little record from Bobby Blue Bland – quite different from his 60s sides for Duke/Peacock, and recorded in California (as you might guess from the title!) with a smoother more soulful approach that comes off surprisingly well! The style works well for Bobby – and kind of gave ... LP, Vinyl record album

Bobby Bland

Reflections In Blue
ABC, 1977. Very Good+
A bit of a shift for Bobby Blue Bland – a record that picks up some slight touches of the disco generation, thanks to arrangements by Michael Omartin – but a record that, thanks to Bobby's fantastic vocals, still really stands out from the pack! The shift is a bit like the one that ... LP, Vinyl record album

BB King

Guess Who
ABC, 1972. Near Mint-
BB King's collapsed here on the beach in California – and maybe that's because he gave so much energy to the session – which is a lot more full than some of his previous work from the 60s! The whole thing is a mix of blues and soul – some larger charts that really provide a great ... LP, Vinyl record album

John Lee Hooker

Burnin'
Vee Jay, 1962. Very Good
A set that's maybe not the first record from the great John Lee Hooker – but one that definitely helped push him over the top, and forever cement his place in the legend of 20th Century blues! The vibe here is a bit different than some of Hooker's earlier, rawer material – as he gets ... LP, Vinyl record album

Little Charlie & The Nightcats

All The Way Crazy
Alligator, 1987. Near Mint-
... LP, Vinyl record album

Little Milton

Blues Is Alright
Isabel (France), 1982. Very Good+
A set recorded in Paris, but one with a great small combo vibe that's right in the spirit of Chicago – work from Lucky Peterson on organ and piano next to the vocals and guitar of Little Milton! LP, Vinyl record album

Little Sonny

Black & Blue
Enterprise, Early 70s. Very Good+
Tasty batch of funky blues tracks from Sonny – an artist who we normally don't like that much, but who sounds very sweet here, thanks to tight arrangements by The Bar-Kays, who back him up on the session! The record is a great mix of funky blues and Memphis soul – and includes the ... LP, Vinyl record album

Otis Spann

Walking The Blues
Candid, 1960. Very Good+
One of the few non-jazz sides recorded for the short-lived Candid label – featuring Spann on piano and vocals, Robert Lockwood Jr on guitar, and James Oden on vocals. Titles include "It Must Have Been The Devil", "Otis' Blues", "Going Down Slow", "This Is ... LP, Vinyl record album

Taj Mahal

Taj Mahal
Columbia, 1968. Very Good
The first album in a mighty legendary run from Taj Mahal – one of the first generation of blues musicians to really learn to recast their sound for the younger crossover generation! By that, we don't mean that Taj is commercial at all – it's just that he's kind of reclaiming the blues ... LP, Vinyl record album
