I'M JOHN LEE HOOKER Original ***SEALED*** 1959 1st or 1961 Press*** LP NM-

Description

Here is an
awesome
J
ohn Lee Hooker
"I'm John Lee Hooker" LP
,
Vee Jay LP-1007
This is either the original 1959 1st pressing or the 2nd in 1960.  The 1st would have a maroon label and the 2nd would be their black with color band label.
I believe the covers are pretty much identical.
It is a heavy album with fairly inflexible vinyl.
It basically has to be an almost 60 year old album, as
in 1964, Vee Jay records went bankrupt.  So it would be safe to assume there were no further VJ pressings.
Regardless it is nearly impossible to find an original sealed pressing of this album, especially in such great condition.
So this is about as good as it gets!
The cover is in super nice
shape with
solid edges, corners and spine
and almost no surface rub wear.  There is a 1" shrink break at top right edge, NM-
