Description
King 852 (Black Label Mono)
Jacket shows minor wear: corner dings, minor shelf wear on the seams (tho' it does have a 3" seam split at the bottom right), faint ring wear, and a hint of age yellowing. It's still a very nice VG+ (see the pic, it's beautiful). Vinyl looks mint (save for two small marker dots on the A-Side), but plays VG+. Side 1 Matrix stamp is "K-12-852-A-X1" & Side 2 Matrix stamp is "K-12-852-B-X1" Anybody familiar with King knows they weren't famous for fidelity. Nevertheless, this is the finest sounding piece of King vinyl I've ever heard--and that's no joke! There's no reserve and low opening bid, but don't let that fool you: this is a sexy piece of wax.
By the time of THE BIG BLUES, King had long perfected his sound. On "Don't Throw Your Love On Me Too Strong," "Let's Have A Natural Ball," and "I Get Evil," King's voice is as expressive as any blues singer of his time, including Muddy Waters or Jimmy Reed (he backed the latter on a number of recordings).
Possessing a fluid, snaky guitar style and a smoky voice, Albert King was a major influence on SRV, Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Here's the track list:
Let's Have A Natural Ball
What Can I Do To Change Your Mind?
I Get Evil
Had You Told It Like It Was (It Wouldn't Be Like It Is)
This Morning
I Walked All Night Long
The Big Blues Don't Throw Your Love On Me So Strong
Travelin' To California
I've Made Nights By Myself
This Funny Feeling
Ooh-ee Baby
Dyna Flow
Amusingly, the cover shows our intrepid guitar slinger as a right handed picker--King was a lefty.
