STRICTLY GRADED

Sleeves and vinyls are visually graded after a careful check in bright sunshine on my roof terrace. In the gray days I watch the records under a strong halogen lamp with the help of a magnifying glass. All LPs in auction have been fully heard on a turntable Rega Planar 3 with a moving magnet cartridge Grado Statement 1. I listen EPs and singles 45  rpm. on a turntable Thorens TD 166 BC with a MM cartridge Goldring 1006. Considering that the usual classifications such as Mint, EX, Vg, etc…, etc. ... are not significant to explain the real condition of the records in addition to a total subjectivity of opinion, I always introduce before these classifications a short description concerning any defects I have verified with the exception of Mint minus, the highest grade I declare. I use MINT/MINT exclusively for the still from factory sealed copies.

Notes : music and guitar by Tony Mottola, features The Ray Charles Singers.The well-gifted guitarist from New Jersey magnificently supported by fascinating wordless vocalisms of The Ray Charles Singers creates pleasant sound sensations in the listeners.  On the back cover, the various tracks are well described one by one, so I could certainly say better. I shall limit myself to mention two tunes. " Beguine Tampico " from the hot Martinique rhythm effectively underlined by the guitar with a beautiful solo of soprano Sally Sweetland well supported by choral vocalisms. " Carnival Time ", pleasant musical carousel with interesting changes of speed from guitarist accompanied by carefree choral vocals.
