Description: This is scarce Japan ONLY compilation album ( released in the middle of 1970’s ) of Eddie Cleanhead Vinson & Jimmy Witherspoon, coming with complete appendices. The label of disc is in white for promotional use. This album includes 12 tracks ( See the track-list below ), which seems to have been issued only in Japan. The back cover shows “Japanese liner notes” & “the track-list”, while the insert shows “English & Japanese lyrics”. It’s hard to find this item even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. A short light scuff is on Side A-1. There are brown spots in places on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as "EX+". No flaw on the groove of Side B and mostly on Side A…clean disc, we guarantee you.
