I Got What It Takes

LP (Item 540205) Alligator, 1975 — Condition: Very Good+
An indie classic from Koko Taylor – a set that features the legendary Chicago blues singer working with Mighty Joe Young on guitar! Titles include "Big Boss Man", "Be What You Want To Be", "Trying To Make A Living", "Mama He Treats Your Daughter Mean", "I Got What It Takes", and "Happy Home".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Original pressing. Cover has some light ring & edge wear, spot of tape remnant. Labels have an ink stamp.)

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.

Folk Singer
Chess, 1963. Sealed Gatefold
A seminal album by Muddy – recorded in a style that's rootsier, and more down to earth than a lot of his other chess sides! Muddy's playing acoustic guitar, and the rest of the group features Buddy Guy, Willie Dixon, and Clifton James. The sound is really spare, and very moody – and ... LP, Vinyl record album

Bluesway, 1967. Very Good
A 60s set from Memphis bluesman BB King – but one put together with a very distinct Chicago touch as well! The set's produced by Johnny Pate, and recorded live with a vibe that's similar to King's classic recording at The Regal – but it's almost got even more of a soulful punch, thanks ...

Forget the silly cowboy costume on the front cover – because this is a heck of a great album!
