"Dock Boggs was a singer and banjo player who sounded as if his bones were coming through his skin every time he opened his mouth. In the mountains of eastern Kentucky/western Virginia in the 1920s he forged a highly personal music of such singular intensity it retains the power to shock seventy plus years after it was recorded. Lots of text and rare photos. Over 60 minutes of music, including Boggs's 12 original 1927 and 1929 released recordings, 5 never-before-issued 1929 outtakes, and 4 1920s cuts by Boggs's Kentucky compatriots Bill and Hayes Shepherd."

Grading

I've done my best to grade by the Record Collector grading standard as follows:

MINT (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

EXCELLENT (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

Payment

Paypal preferred; I will aim to send a Paypal invoice shortly after the end of the auction. I can also accept a cheque drawn on a UK bank.  Sorry, but I won't accept bank transfers.

Postage & Packing

Records will be removed from the outer sleeve to avoid seam splits and packed carefully in new cruciform-style mailers with stiffeners. Rates as follows:

Please bear in mind, I don’t do this for a living and I can only make it to the post office once or twice a week, so it might take a few days for me to post your parcel.
