Sebrof, What color is Muddy Waters 'Folk Skinger' label?
The original would have a black label with white letters. Some of the original releases would have blue label, but would need to know the serial number to be precise. Also it may have UPC code as well on jacket as there were more than one repress versions of your album.

Reissues of MW are fairly easy find.

As popular a thing as vinyl has become (again), it is a bit of a rare moment to have a lucky streak like that anymore. I guess, on the up side, it's great to be here in the(so called)rebirth of the format and see so many vinyl conscious consumers. Like many, many of you, I never abandoned it.

Full set of the "Greatest Jazz Recordings of All Time" from Franklin Mint, unplayed/sealed (100 albums). Some great early recordings that's hard to find otherwise.

At an antique pavilion my stepson found an opened but possibly unplayed Japanese pressing of Pink Floyd's 'The Wall" for $10.

On eBay a woman was selling some private stock of her recently deceased father, a former DJ. I got several unplayed "for broadcast only" Verve pressings, such as the Ella (Fitzgerald) and Louis (Armstrong) duets, both volumes, plus some same-era Buddy Rich (I'm a big fan), and comedy albums of that era.

Not a big steal, but I got an early '70s Columbia reissue of "Kind of Blue" in NM condition for $8, and it rivals my Classic Records 200g reissue.

I got 18 box sets from Time-Life's "Great Men of Music" series at $1 ea. at a thrift shop. All were virtually or actually unplayed with 4 LPs per set. These were all reissues of Living Stereo recordings.
