Blues Came Down From Memphis

LP (Item 882212) London (UK), 1960s — Condition: Very Good+
Features tracks from Doctor Ross, James Cotton, Willie Nix, Rufus Thomas, Jimmy DeBerry, Sammy Lewis and more.  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Original purple label UK pressing. Cover has light wear.)

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.

Cold Day In Hell

(Lincoln Ave pressing. Cover has light wear and is lightly stained and wrinkled at the opening.) LP, Vinyl record album
Checker, Late 50s/Early 60s. Very Good+
If it were up to us, every song Bo recorded would have been a hit – because they're all so great! This album does a pretty good job of sorting out the best numbers, though – picking 16 tracks from his all-great albums for Chess – with a focus on the tightest and most groove-heavy ...

Stash, 1930s/1940s. Very Good+

Lightnin Hopkins

Lightnin' Hopkins
Folkways, Late 50s. Near Mint-
A late 50s session, but an album that captures Lighnin Hopkins in a rootsy style that could well hearken back to the 78rpm blues records of the 30s – thanks to production by Samuel B Charters, who captured Hopkins alone making music in his apartment in Houston! The tracks have that ... LP, Vinyl record album

Sonny Boy Williamson

More Real Folk Blues
Chess, Early 60s. Near Mint-
Classic blues harp and raw vocals from Sonny Boy Williamson – material recorded for Chess during the early 60s, and issued after his death, with a title that's certainly designed to catch the attention of the college kids looking for the "real" thing! The work here is really great ... LP, Vinyl record album
Columbia, 1969. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold
(70s pressing – A great copy!) LP, Vinyl record album
Elektra, 1940s. Near Mint- 3LP Box Set
(Late 60s red label big E pressing. Includes the booklet, Elektra catalog from 1966, and the Elektra inner sleeves. Box has split corners, tears in the top and bottom edge, center splits in the spine and bottom seam, and is faded at the spine.) LP, Vinyl record album

Miles Davis

Bitches Brew
Columbia, 1969. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold
One of the few cases in jazz where an oft-played classic still resonates with power! The record itself is a key cap to Miles Davis' already-groundbreaking years of the 60s – a bold step forward, not just for his nascent electric sound, but also for jazz in general – and the benchmark ... LP, Vinyl record album
Impulse/ABC, 1973. Near Mint- Gatefold
Way nicer than some of Milt's earlier work – and one of the gems he recorded with bassist Ray Brown during the late 60s. The group's got a tight soul jazz stepping groove – with Monty Alexander on piano, comping along right over Ray's warm basslines in a very tasty way. Teddy Edwards ... LP, Vinyl record album
