Johnny Horton The Spectacular Johnny Horton Vinyl LP - Columbia CL 1362 - 6 Eye Label Mono First Pressing with Shrink Wrap (1959) When It's Springtime in Alaska, Whispering Pines, Battle of New Orleans Condition: Very Good Vinyl and Near Mint Cover. Vinyl was play-tested on both sides and plays very well throughout with occasional light background noise, but no skips. Cover is solid with great color, still has shrink wrap and a vintage price sticker. Matrix / Runout (Side 1 Stamped): XLP47380-1AA Matrix / Runout (Side 2 Stamped): XLP47381-2H The Spectacular Johnny Horton AllMusic Review by Richie Unterberger "The Battle of New Orleans" leads off the disc, and more of the same follows on the gold-prospecting tales "Sam Magee" and "When It's Springtime in Alaska." He hadn't forgotten how to play and sing gutsy rockabilly cum honky tonk, as shown on the album's best cuts. His self-penned "The First Rain Headin' South" is certainly the best of the crop; the cover of "Cherokee Boogie," like Warren Smith's "Ubangi Stomp," flirts with imagery that will strike many as un-PC these days; and "Got the Bull by the Horns" and the cover of Hank Snow's "The Rocket" are respectable up-tempo numbers.

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.
