Cry Before I Go

LP (Item 798723) ABC/Bluesway, 1974 — Condition: Very Good+
Fantastic – one of the few albums of the time from blues singer Lucille Spann – produced by Al Smith, recorded in Chicago, and with small combo backing by a group that features Detroit Junior on piano, and both Mighty Joe Young and Eddie Taylor on guitar! Titles include "Wine Head Woman", "Daddy Let Me Love You", "Everybody's Fishin", "Cry Before I Go", "Make You Feel Like A Bigger Man", and "Mean Ration Blues".  © 1996-2024, 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.

John Lee Hooker gets some great treatment here – working in a loose, groovy style for the Bluesway label – and getting a nice dose of funk right down at the core!
