ROY ACUFF- HISTORIC Debut LP: Songs of the Smoky Mountains on Columbia HL 9004










Roy Acuff ‎– Songs Of The Smoky Mountains

Label: Columbia ‎– HL 9004 Format: Vinyl, LP, 10" Country: US Released: 1949 Genre: Folk, World, & Country Style: Country     Wikipedia  has this background information on the great Roy Acuff:  

"Roy Claxton Acuff (September 15, 1903 – November 23, 1992) was an American country music singer, fiddler, and promoter. Known as the "King of Country Music," Acuff is often credited with moving the genre from its early string band and "hoedown" format to the star singer-based format that helped make it internationally successful.

"Acuff began his music career in the 1930s, and gained regional fame as the singer and fiddler for his group, the Smoky Mountain Boys. He joined the Grand Ole Opry in 1938, and although his popularity as a musician waned in the late 1940s, he remained one of the Opry's key figures and promoters for nearly four decades. In 1942, Acuff co-founded the first major Nashville-based country music publishing company—Acuff-Rose Music—which signed acts such as Hank Williams, Roy Orbison, and The Everly Brothers. In 1962, Acuff became the first living inductee into the Country Music Hall of Fame."

 

Offered here,  Songs  of the Smoky Mountains,  is the first LP recorded by Roy in what was to become a very distinguished discography.

 

THE VINYL  was recorded in the early days of 33 1/3 mono, and grades VG+. All tracks play with background noise, and all tracks play through without skips or sticks. The LP surface retains much of its original gloss, with some light marks. The red Columbia label is bright, with minimal evidence of spindlewear.

 

THE COVER  also grades at VG+. It is constructed of a heavier cardboard back with a lighter paper cover. It shows age-related yellowing and some ringwear, with minor edgewear. There are some small (5%) tears at each side of the opening, otherwise all the seams are intact. There is no writing, dirt or paper loss.

RECORD GRADING DESCRIPTION:

THIS RECORD IS SIGHT-GRADED ONLY UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT, ACCORDING TO THESE DEFINITIONS:

SEALED: RECORD IS WRAPPED IN PLASTIC & UNOPENED.

NM-: RECORD HAS LITTLE OR NO INDICATION THAT IT HAS BEEN PLAYED.

EX: MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE (LIGHT SCRATCHING/PAPER SCUFFS), BUT IN ALL A RECORD THAT HAS BEEN WELL-CARED FOR.

VG+: LESS CARE THAN EX, LIGHT SCRATCHING OR SCUFFING IS MORE EXTENSIVE. STILL VERY PLAYABLE & WILL LIKELY PROVIDE A QUALITY SOUND.

VG & BELOW: WHILE PLAYABLE, THIS RECORD HAS BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK. OBVIOUS SIGNS OF WEAR & SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TO BE IN A LOW GRADE.  A RECORD GRADED BELOW VG MAY HAVE A VALUE BASED UPON ITS RARITY OR UNIQUENESS.

WE  RECOMMEND THAT YOU CLEAN THIS RECORDING BEFORE PLAYING. RECORDS THAT ARE  DECADES OLD CAN ATTRACT & ACCUMULATE DAMAGING FOREIGN MATERIAL THAT REDUCES SOUND QUALITY. THIS IS NORMALLY EASILY CORRECTED WITH A GOOD CLEANING.
