· COMMENTS / ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: RARE, AMAZING private LP by Texas prison inmates! Presented by the Texas Prison Rodeo, performed by a the award winning bands from The Eastham Unit at The Texas State Penitentiary in Huntsville. (Hunstville prison is internationally notorious - known as the "Death House", where far more prisoners are executed annually than anywhere else in the U.S).
Band members include Ken Fulton, Ken Price, Jimmy Young, Douglas Washington, Sam Meeks, Floyd Kidd, Juan Pena, Homer Casey, Carl Harris, Eddie Collins and tenor saxophonist DON WILKERSON - this may be THE Don Wilkerson (a.k.a., “The Texas Tornado”) known especially for his work in the 1950s with Ray Charles, Cannonball Adderley and Amos Milburn (among many others), as well as leader in the 1960s (on Blue Note and other labels)!
Presented here are nearly all original tunes by the band members, with some incredible poignant lyrics about prison life and life in general. Mix of musical styles – some tracks have bizarre electronic effects like weird electronic wah-wah and something that sounds almost like electronic fuzz! And there are several soul tracks, including two highly-coveted beautiful sweet soul tunes: “I Can’t Get Over Losing You” (extended track with stunning solo and duet vocals) and “You’ve Got Me Standing By” (great mid-tempo groover). Plus “Yes We Can” – where Don Wilkerson plays a superb tenor sax solo.

LP GRADING GUIDELINES
NOTE: All LPs are professionally cleaned using the VPI HW-17 RECORD CLEANING SYSTEM and carefully inspected under a grading lamp with 120-watt bulb.
- Guidelines reflect TYPICAL factors determining grade - variations are noted in the description
- Please note: I DO NOT USE EXCELLENT (EX) as a grade.
- Flaws for ALL covers graded below VG+ are noted in the description.
- I rarely use grades below VG, and all vinyl graded VG or less is appropriately spot play-graded to assure sound quality.
- Grades below G are not listed, as I typically do not sell merchandise in such condition.
- Intermediate grades (e.g., NM-, VG/VG+, VG++) are used, as applicable.
- MINT: Factory Sealed; cover virtually flawless.
- NM+ (Near Mint Plus) - Factory sealed with minor cover flaws, OR an otherwise mint LP recently opened by me and played in spots for demonstration purposes.
- NM (Near Mint) - vinyl, cover and labels nearly flawless.
- VG+ (Very Good Plus) - what many refer to as "excellent"; pretty close to NM. Full or nearly full-gloss vinyl with a few hairlines, minor surface scuffs and/or sleeve marks; possibly one or a couple small, light scratches (inaudible or causing unobtrusive soft clicks, noted as applicable in the description) on an otherwise NM piece. Expect only slight surface noise in spots. Cover has slight general wear and/or aging, OR minimal wear/aging and a couple of minor flaws (noted as applicable in the description).
- VG (Very Good) - Vinyl still glossy, possibly with slight graying; has a few or some light scuffs, sleeve marks and hairlines, possibly a few small light scratches. Expect only slight surface noise in spots.
- VG- (Very Good Minus) - Vinyl typically glossy with slight or some graying; generally has all of the flaws noted in the VG grade to a greater degree (hairlines, light scuffs, surface marks, small light scratches, sleeve marks). Expect slight or some surface noise that's noticeable but NOT overwhelming.
- G (Good) - Vinyl typically still glossy with some graying; generally has some scuffs, surface marks and light scratches, plus lots of sleeve marks and hairlines. Expect some surface noise throughout that's noticeable but NOT overwhelming - NO skips, sticks, heavy scuffs, deep scratches, excessive noise, or loud pops or clicks (unless noted in description).
