The cover is in great shape and the spine is strong and clearly legible. The labels are first class and the spindle hole looks as if it has barely been played. The vinyl sounds superb, but it has a couple of areas that still look a bit dirty, despite being cleaned twice by the VPI Cyclone record cleaning machine. As mentioned earlier, this does not affect the sound, with just a little background crackle on parts of Side 2.

George ‘Harmonica’ Smith was learning the harmonica by the time he was 4 years old. By th time he was a teenager, he was travelling across the southern states playing professionally. He later teamed up at various times with Otis Rush, Muddy Waters and Jack Dupree. This was his second solo album and is a masterpiece in harmonica blues – really laidback music. Great album and an absolute collector’s item in great condition.
