Description
Blind Reverend Gary Davis was one of the folk-artists who made a living playing in the streets of New York City in the 40s and 50s. The folk and blues revival of the 60s brought him some financial success with records such as this. Davis appeared with Brownie McGhee, Sonny Terry, and Huddie Ledbetter.
The vinyl has good fidelity and gloss along with some surface noise. "RVG" stamped in the deadwax. It is graded VG. The cover is flat without a ringwear pattern. Seams are intact on the top and spine but the bottom has a split of less than an inch at the opening. See the photos. There is a stamp, "Preview Copy", on the back. Note the hole punched in the cover and record label. Again, see the photos. The cover is graded VG+. Records are play-graded, but when visual grading is different from the sound, the record is marked at the lower grade.
You can save on shipping by combining several items. Please see our other records. Order two records at the same time with NO INCREASE in shipping charge for domestic shipping. Records are removed from the cover before shipping to save the seams. Both are packed in a plastic sleeve, bubble-wrapped, sandwiched between cardboard, then packed in a box designed for shipping records.
If you have a question or a problem, please contact me. I will resolve it. I accept returns with full credit, though the buyer pays return postage. Please see our other records.
The following Goldmine descriptions were used for grading:
· NM (Near Mint) ---- A nearly perfect record. The disc looks as if you just got it home from a new record store. Many brand new discs do not meet this standard. The jacket should show no obvious signs of wear with no creases, folds, seam splits or cut-out holes.
· VG+ (Very Good Plus) ---- 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 slight signs of wear such as slight scuffs or very light scratches that don’t affect the listening experience. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration but it would be barely noticeable. The jacket may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or corner indicating it was sold at a discount.
· VG (Very Good) ---- Surface noise will be evident, especially in soft passages, but will not overpower the music. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches that will affect the sound. Labels and the jacket may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers attached. Ring wear, scuffing, or seam splitting may be present on the jacket. Many of the defects in a VG+ jacket will be more pronounced in a VG one. The jacket will not have all of these problems at the same time.
· G (Good) ---- Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put on a turntable and will play through without skipping or sticking. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear. A jacket 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.
