Record Condition: VG (see definition below)
THE McGlothlin FAMILY Sometimes A Mountain The McGlothlin Family with six years together as a singing group and many miles behind them to fill the requests of people has found them in church services, funerals, revivals, and song services across the land. To look backward over the years, the miles and the experience of this labor of love, I am sure, would seem as SOMETIMES A MOUNTAIN The King James translation of 1611 tell us that SOMETIMES A MOUNTAIN can be a place of joy, peace, and great victory as found in the lives of men such as Abraham, Moses, Elijah, Jacob, and many others. The rewarding experiences attained by these men should encourage each of us to search for an experience that would be so great that we could find a place called Calvary and a Christ that shed His blood for all saying, "Come unto me, and I will give you rest/' Then we come to the Mt. of Olives where we hear Christ the Lord with a message from Heaven telling the people of His purpose here in the world. That glorious experience of Peter, James and John on the Mt. of Transfiguration as they heard the voice of God say, "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye Him." Making His final journey up Calvary to finish His work He carried that great load of sin to bring salvation and victory to all that believe in Him. The McGlothlin Family as Christians have accepted the valley as a place of patience and courage so they will be able to climb SOMETIMES A MOUNTAIN with faith, hope and charity in their hearts. While they sing the songs of Zion each Sunday to help many people climb this mountain, I am sure each of them need the prayers of God's people to help them mount up and cross the places in their lives that must surely be SOMETIMES A MOUNTAIN. As you tune your radio to WGAT at 9:00 A. M. each Sunday morning you can hear the McGloth- lins from the Scott County Funeral Home Chapel say, "The Lord has brought us safe this far, and surely by His great love we will somewhere top the last mountain and through Christ the Lord see the City of Everlasting Life that is prepared for them that love him."

We follow grading parameters from Goldmine Magazine:
Mint (M)  Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.
Near Mint (NM or M-) A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly)that no record is ever truly perfect.  The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.  An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like.  Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap. 
Very Good Plus (VG+)
A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.  Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK".  The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play.  Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. 
Very Good (VG)  Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.  Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them. 
Good (G), Good Plus (G+)  Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white).  A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. 
Poor (P), Fair (F)   The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled, and written upon.
