The Art Reynolds Singers
It was in the late 1960’s that Art took the 5 best singers from his choir at the St. Vestal C.M.E. church and created the gospel singing group, the “Art Reynolds Singers”. As the first gospel group to record for Capital Records, they soon became pioneers in the development of “gospel rock”. Many considered their music too secular for the time. Their first album “Tellin’ It Like It Is”, went on to become one of the biggest selling albums for a new gospel group. It received local and national acclaim. “Jesus Is Just Alright” was the first song recorded by other groups from the “Tellin’ It Like It Is” album. The song was recorded and made famous by the Byrds, the Doobie Brothers and DC Talk. Four other albums followed: “Long Dusty Road”, “The Soul-Gospel Sounds of the Art Reynolds Singers” and “It’s a Wonderful World”.

GOLDMINE GRADING
MINT ---- It should appear to be perfect. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains, labels or writing, tears or splits. Mint means perfect.
NEAR MINT ---- Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly.
VERY GOOD PLUS ---- The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully. Not too far from perfect. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original luster may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors.
VERY GOOD ---- Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, but should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.
GOOD ---- Well played with little luster and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record should still play all the way through without skipping. Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not obliterate the artwork.
POOR ---- Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above "Good" grading should be seen as Poor. Several cover flaws.
