The wide, high-velocity analog grooves deliver stunning, tube-warmed room presence—driving flawlessly from the blistering, foot-stomping slide attack of \"Leavin' Blues\" and \"Parchman Farm\" to the rare, garage-psych fuzz energy of \"Birds Can't Row Boats.\" Teeming with the production grit of Huey P. Meaux and cut from the legendary boards of Sterling Sound, every note leaps from your speakers with visceral, front-row snap. Complete with its iconic T. de Grazia desert painting artwork jacket and the highly collectable \"Johnny Winters\" center label misprint, this beautifully preserved classic is an absolute mandatory centerpiece for any serious roots-blues archivist or vintage rock collector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1969 US release by Buddah Records, catalog # BDS 7513.  First US pressing from Pitman plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve grades VG+ \u003c\/strong\u003ewith just minor issues from age, some corner dings, light touch of ringwear.  Intact spine\/seams, good color\/finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinyl grades VG+.  \u003c\/strong\u003ePlays through crisp and clear with no issues.  Surface shows some light surface marks and hairlines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CS5 Vinyl and Memorabilia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47255613800579,"sku":null,"price":6.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/3553\/6003\/files\/WIN_20260606_15_18_38_Pro.jpg?v=1780777375","url":"https:\/\/cs5music.com\/products\/johnny-winter-first-winter-1969-us-1st-press-vg-vg","provider":"CS5 Vinyl and Memorabilia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
