Description: The Blues BrothersBriefcase Full of BluesVinyl LP - Atlantic SD 19217VG+ First Pressing (1978) with Soul Man, Messin' With The Kid, Hey Bartender Condition: VG+ Vinyl and VG+ Cover. Vinyl was play-tested on both sides and plays very well throughout with good fidelity. A little noise at the beginning, but only during crowd noise. Gone before music kicks in. Cover is fully intact with great color, no splits or writing, and includes original Atlantic inner sleeve. Briefcase Full of Blues is the debut album by the Blues Brothers, released in 1978 by Atlantic Records. It was recorded live on September 9, 1978, at the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles, when the band opened for comedian Steve Martin. The album consists of covers of blues and soul songs from the 1950s to 1970s. The album hit number 1 on the Billboard album chart and sold over two million US copies, going double platinum; according to Blues Brothers member Dan Aykroyd, the album has sold 3.5 million copies in total. It is among the highest-selling blues albums of all time. Three singles were released from the album: "Rubber Biscuit", "Soul Man", which reached number 14, and "Hey Bartender". The album is dedicated to Curtis Salgado, the inspiration behind John Belushi's creation of the Blues Brothers characters.

I note any differences between vinyl and cover, and make note of any inserts, special sleeves, or potential defects.MINT (M) - Absolutely perfect in every way. Most often this is a still sealed record, records that have been opened are rarely if ever marked as Mint.NEAR MINT (NM) - A good description is that it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time. In other words, it?s nearly perfect, with no visible defects. VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) - Except for a couple minor things, this could be Near Mint. Most collectors will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if on the high end (VG++). VG+ records may show slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Covers should have only minor wear. VERY GOOD (VG) - VG records are among the biggest bargains, and for many, will be worth the money. They can lack the original gloss, may have surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages. But the noise will not overpower the music. VG covers will have signs of handling, and may have minor splits. GOOD PLUS (G+) - Good+ does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, but it has significant surface noise and groove wear. Cover may have significant ring wear, noticeable writing, or obvious damage.GOOD (G) - Record may have some skipping, but is otherwise listenable. I generally avoid selling Good (G) rated records unless they are highly collectible or desirable, in order to enjoy until something better comes along. Cover has major wear or seam splits that need repair, or heavy writing like radio station call letters to prevent theft.Feel free to contact me with any specific questions.
