TRACK LISTING: Blind Lemon's Penitentiary Blues Bad Luck Blues Big Night Blues Peach Orchard Mama Sunshine Special Chock House Blues Long Distance Moan Baker Shop Blind Lemon Jefferson (guitar, vocals) Recorded in Chicago, IL , between 1926 and 1929 · CONDITION: · RECORD  (IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight) (a) WE GRADE THE VINYL  AS  (WEAK) NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new. (b) The record has a "deep groove" (an indent in the label about 1/2-inch from the edge of the label, which on SOME labels is associated with very early or first pressings). (c) The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording! (d) Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!! · COVER THE COVER IS ABOUT VERY GOOD+(+) The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover: - Cover has a partially split top seam (between 4 and 6 inches  / 10 to 15 centimeters); This split seam was delicately taped by the previous owner with a piece of transparent scotch tape - Cover has a partially split spine (between 4 and 6 inches  / 10 to 15 centimeters); - Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 4 - The cover has circular tarnish (grayish, dust-covered sections, which closely follow the contour of the record),  probably caused by friction or by rubbing against other covers during the storage. The tarnish is similar in appearance to a common ring wear, but, UNLIKE ring wear, these grayish areas may be possible to clean up with a minor effort and with a right cleansing solution. - Cover shows some light yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging   (nothing significant). - Minor shelf wear noted on the seams (nothing significant) - Cover has two corners slightly worn (nothing significant) NO OTHER IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER: - No cut-out (drill) holes. - No cut-out corners - No saw-marks or indents - No wrinkles or creases - No writing - No stamps - No peel-off marks - No stains - No mold or mildew spots - No stickers or labels - No water damage - No razor marks, scratches, pressure marks, lines, streaks, or  cuts. - No warping - No wax, glue, paint or liquid drops on the cover - No glue traces or wax residue. - No bar codes - No RIAA stamps or stickers.  POSTAGE & SHIPPING: We offer THREE postage rates for both Domestic and International Mail: Media Mail, Priority Mail and Express Mail for domestic, and First Class, Priority International Mail, and Express International Mail for international orders.
