Dave Ray & Tony Glover – Legends In Their Spare Time - Country Blues Vinyl LP

$

24

Dave “Snaker” Ray was one of the great blues guitarists. He started his music career in Minneapolis in the early 60’s, playing authentic Delta blues on his slide 12 string guitars.  He along with John “Spider” Koerner and Tony “Little Sun” Glover recorded five albums with Elektra in the early 60’s and established themselves as forerunners of the folk/blues scene. They developed a large cult-like following after starring at the Newport Jazz Festival.  Bob Dylan cites Ray as one of his major influences and friends; the two of them played the same clubs in Minneapolis and St. Paul in those early days.  Years later Ray and Glover recorded three albums together with this being their debut. It is a scintillating collection of beautiful country blues recorded during a live performance in Minneapolis in 1987. The album was released on Treehouse Records in 1987, number TR 005.  This is the original release of the album.  The vinyl is in beautiful condition with its bright original luster and just a couple of very light scuffs that barely impact play. It plays with just very light sporadic background noise. The vinyl grades VG+. The album cover shows a tiny hint of ring wear and no corner or edge wear.  All seams are clean, sharp, tight, and intact. The cover grades VG+.

Grading Information

I use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings.  The first album will typically cost approximately $22.  Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country.  Typically the cost per album will be no more than $27.  Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.
