THE McCRAVY BROTHERS - Frank and James McCravy - were from Laurens, South Carolina. Their father was the local sheriff. It had also been the home of President Andrew Johnson, 17th President of the USA and one of the many Presidents of Ulster-Scots descent.

They began singing shortly after Jim graduated from Furman University - Frank also served for two years in the General Assembly of South Carolina. In their 1933 book "Album of Fireside Songs" it says "...they offer sentimental modern spirituals and semi-religious songs. They sing no 'Hot' tunes or 'Low-Down stuff'...".

• First recording February 1925 for Okeh Records (6 tracks, the first of which was One of God's Days)
• Recorded hundreds of tracks, often under pseudonyms such as the Lonesome Pine Twins, Austin Brothers, Al & Joe Blackburn, Cox & Campbell and The Mack Brothers
• Stopped recording in 1935 (last track was My Mother's Evening Prayer, Jan 29 1935)

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:

As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.

If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.

Quick note on grading:

The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately

When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"SUPERQUIET" is basically noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an exceptionally quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a give pressing.

These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.

Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.

If you win multiple items, pls send me an INVOICE REQUEST to calculate the correct postage. Ebay check out will not give you the correct multiple item discount!

Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.

Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless you request another service. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.

I charge actual postage plus a small fee for packing materials

As always, I guarantee your satisfaction. If you don't like the item, just return it, and I will refund the full purchase price.

If you are in the San Francisco area, I welcome pick-up in person.

US Domestic Shipping:

Here is a guideline for US Media Mail Shipping:

Prices below are for regular 78 rpm records. Up to about 5 records, I will ship Edison Discs for the same rates. Albums from Album Sets count as 1 record. Above that and for international shipments, it will be actual weight plus a small packing charge (1-3$ depending on size of shipment)

1 record: 4.99 – 5.85$

2 records: 6.95$

5 records: 8.50$

10 records: 12.00$

MANY MORE RECORDS: Don't worry. I safely ship 40 - 50 pounds of records double boxed in moving boxes, and even then Media Mail or FedEx ground will be affordible.

Please send me a message if you would like to get an estimate for you shipping rates!

I am very happy to ship records worldwide.

Please use the EBAY shipping cost as a guideline. My actual charges are usually lower

A single record usually ships for around $30 (Less for Canada). There are lower cost shipping options available, when you purchase, pls click the “REQUEST A TOTAL/ INVOICE” link in the Ebay Shopping Cart, so that I can invoice you the lowest shipping rate

 As always, I would appreciate any suggestions and corrections from you, pls contact me with any question.

Thank you very much, and enjoy my great records!!!
