Don't Quit Your Day Job! is: Dave Higgins, Patty Ryan, Dave Allen, and Gary Fox. The group performs I Love D.M.

Lyrics are printed on the back of the picture sleeve. Accompanying musicians include producer Rick Swan on guitar, Doug Taylor on drums, and Bryan Ohme on bass. Angry Young Records AYR 0384, recorded in Indianola, Iowa. Record is VG++ to NM-, with a tiny white speck on the surface of West Des Moines. Sleeve VG+.

GRADING: LPs, EPs and 45s are graded M (mint), NM (near mint), VG+, VG (very good), VG-, G+, G (good), G-, F (fair), and P (poor).
A VG+ record may have some visible scuffs and light scratches and plays well with little surface noise. Scratches on records graded VG and VG- may be deep enough to feel with your fingernail, or there may be scuffs or scratches throughout that cause surface noise. On records in the G+, G and G- range the level of the music is still above the surface noise caused by scuffs and scratches. Surface noise is as loud as the music on records graded F and louder than the music on P records. P records are likely to be unplayable.
[+ and - denote in-between grades. Grades with a slash in between indicate the condition of Side A/Side B.]


Jackets graded VG+ have only slight wear; jackets graded VG are more worn but still intact unless defects are noted. G jackets show definite damage and F and P jackets are probably falling apart. Splits, markings, cut corners, and other defects will be noted.
