Description
Artist: Gwen McCrae
Title: Rockin' Chair
Label: Cat 2605
Condition: Stunning copy of this 1975 LP, 2nd cover. Crease in lower right is barely visible, no cutout marks, tight shrink, original price sticker on front.
Additional Information: Test pressing of their legendary 1973 LP, their 4th, with two of their most loved tracks, Ramblin' Man and the instrumental Jessica, both by Dickey Betts. The disc shows light signs of play but has no feelable marks. The label has song titles on either side. It's pressed for Capricorn by Columbia, as was typical at the time, since Capricorn was too small to have its own plant. The cue sheet is taped to the front on all sides, a typical byproduct of a company employee determined to get the process done properly and quickly. There are some light annotations in red pen and a stamp that says "Corrected label copy." The plain white cover is in good shape. Historic and very rare original test pressing.
Record Grading is M (Sealed), NM, VG++, VG+, VG, VG-, G. Mint is only used with sealed LPs, NM is a record that is for all intents and purposes perfect, VG++ has no feelable marks and only the slightest evidence of handling or play. VG+ is a high-grade used LP that shows minor wear. VG does not have feelable marks but has scattered marks and may play with light surface noise. A VG- record has either a lot of non-feelable marks or a few feelable marks. It will play with not-overpowering surface noise and should not skip. A G rating is usually a heavily worn record, but which is still listenable.
Cover Grading is NM, VG++, VG+, VG, VG- and G. NM is a cover with a virtually perfect surface, with almost no, or not any, wear, whitening or creasing. It is close to perfect, almost interchangeable with mint. VG++ is a more typical grade for a cover, and is a cover which is beautiful but may have very slight imperfections. We don't grade cutouts higher than VG++. VG+ is a high grade which shows slight overall wear but no major problems such as scuffing or whitening around the edges. VG has edge wear, small imperfections like writing, blobs or tears, but is still strong visually. VG- is an intact cover with small splits (under 3" typically) with various issues including small tears, writing, cutout marks, etc. G is a cover which, while presentable, has major issues like seams entirely split, large tears or writing etc.
Shipping is $6.50 inside the U.S. across the board, regardless of quantity of items. So you can save on domestic shipping by buying more than one record. We'd rather see your money go towards records rather than the post office!
