Levon Helm – American Son LP MCA Records MCA-5120 NM Promo 1980 Insert

A soulful solo release from Levon Helm of The Band, American Son showcases his signature blend of roots rock, blues, and Southern soul, delivering a warm, authentic sound that reflects his deep musical heritage. With gritty vocals, tight grooves, and a laid-back yet powerful feel, this album stands as a strong entry in Helm’s solo catalog and a must-have for fans of Americana and classic rock.

This copy is a beautiful, collector-worthy example, with the vinyl graded Near Mint (NM) for exceptionally clean playback and minimal signs of wear, and the sleeve graded Very Good Plus (VG+) showing light, well-preserved age-related wear. The inlay is also VG+, and the record retains its original cover presentation. Pressed by MCA Records as a first pressing LP (12", 33 RPM, stereo), this is a high-quality copy with both listening and collector appeal.
