Five Long Years (Vinyl LP)

Born in 1914 on Frank Moore's Stovall plantation in the heart of the fertile Mississippi Delta, Eddie Boyd is without a doubt one of the most influential Bluesman of the White-Blues scene of the 60s. Singer, songwriter and pianist, Boyd made his fortune in Europe where he moved after an invitation to attend the prestigious American Folk Blues Festival in 1965.

This is one of his first LPs, which was recorded that same year at the legendary Wessex Sound Studio in Lon- don during his European tour. The album is named after his number one R&B chart hit "Five Long Years", a track that boasts cover versions by B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed, Buddy Guy, and Eric Clapton.

Our Grading Standards
We grade all vinyl using the Goldmine standard:
Mint (M): Perfect, unplayed condition.
Near Mint (NM): Nearly perfect with minimal signs of handling.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows light signs of play but plays with minimal surface noise. The most common grade for collectable vinyl.
Very Good (VG): Noticeable marks and some surface noise, but still an enjoyable listen.
Good (G): Heavy wear — for collectors only.

All records are graded visually and by play. Media and sleeve are graded separately.
