BB King Now Appearing At Ole Miss

LP (Item 607185) MCA, 1980 — Condition: Near Mint-
2LP Gatefold
Originally: 24.99
...

Near Mint - (minus)

  • Black vinyl that may show a slight amount of dust or dirt.
  • Should still be very shiny under a light, even with slight amount of dust on surface.
  • One or two small marks that would make an otherwise near perfect record slightly less so. These marks cannot be too deep, and should only be surface marks that won't affect play, but might detract from the looks.
  • May have some flaws and discoloration in the vinyl, but only those that would be intrinsic to the pressing. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record. (Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this.)
  • May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl.
  • Possible minor 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.

(Back cover has a spot of pen.) LP, Vinyl record album
ABC, 1978. Near Mint-
One of the most tightly-produced of BB King's albums for MCA, but a set that's still filled with undeniable charm – and which really shows King more than able to step up to some well-deserved superstardom! There's a bit of an LA finish to the backings, but things are never too smooth – ... 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

BB King

Take It Home
MCA, 1979. Very Good+
A great late 70s set from BB King – a record that really echoes that mix of jazz and blues that he first had when coming out of the Memphis scene – but in a style that's very different than his initial recordings! Here, King plays with some great production help from The Crusaders, who ... LP, Vinyl record album
ABC/MCA, 1973. Very Good+
A set that has BB King teaming up with southern soul maestro Dave Crawford – an arranger/producer who helps BB find a whole new groove! Crawford's approach is wonderfully warm and soulful – almost a Hi Records sort of take on the music, which brings King's traditional blues into much ... LP, Vinyl record album

Titles include "You Got Me Worried", "Without You", "Can I Change My Mind", "I'm Tiptoeing Through", "Are You The Lady", and "It Was Fun While It Lasted". LP, Vinyl record album

Earl King & Roomful Of Blues

Glazed
Black Top, 1987. Near Mint-
The legendary Earl King gets support here from Roomful Of Blues – who do more than enough of a respectful job to let the man do his thing in the lead! Titles include "Iron Cupid", "I Met A Stranger", "Those Lonely Lonely Nights", "One Step Beyond Love" ... LP, Vinyl record album
Stax, 1973. Near Mint-
No waiting here – as Little Milton's guitar is plenty sweet throughout – making the album a key cooker from his classic years on Stax! The album's an essential effort in the shift between grittier urban blues and some of the tighter, more warmed up sounds that played big in the 70s ... LP, Vinyl record album

Freddie King

Burglar
RSO, 1974. Very Good-
Electric 70s work from Freddie – not exactly funky, but with a nice chunky bottom that makes the record stand out a bit from the pack of blues work at the time. Titles include "Sugar Sweet", "She's A Burglar", "Pulp Wood", "My Credit Didn't Go Through" ... LP, Vinyl record album
Atlantic, 1969. Very Good-
A funky bit of blues from Otis Rush – the guitarist's debut album, and a surprisingly great batch of tracks recorded at Fame Studios! Production is by Mike Bloomfield and Nick Gravenites, who are clearly going for more of a crossover sound than Rick Hall might have given the set – but ... LP, Vinyl record album
