DON COVAY~See-Saw~ORIGINAL 1966 ATLANTIC Mono RAW SOUL LP~NEAR MINT~TOP COPY!
Product Description
Don Covay – See-Saw
Atlantic – 8120
BEAUTIFUL COPY OF THIS ORIGINAL 1966 SOUL CLASSIC FROM DON COVAY!!
HEAVYWEIGHT CARDBOARD COVER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ONLY LIGHT WEAR.
EDGES ARE CRISP AND CLEAN.
THERE IS A SMALL BB-SIZED HOLE IN THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER OF THE COVER.
VINYL IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH NO SIGN OF HAVING BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.
INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE.
Don Covay rides his most creative crest as a solo artist with this hearty collection of songs. The settings are simplistic for Atlantic Records, which recorded similar artists in lusher settings. But rawness is what makes these recordings arresting. A guitarist as well as a singer, Covay's pickings aren't buried in the mix, and you don't need a Geiger counter to detect the grooves. Most impressive are "See Saw," "Mercy Mercy," "Sookie, Sookie," and "Boomerang," a call to dance with the feeling of Major Lance singing a Curtis Mayfield song. On "Fat Man," you wonder if he's singing about his old Washington, D.C., buddy Billy Stewart. The two began their careers with the Rainbows.

RECORD GRADING POLICY
MINT = like new or near new with only one or two small insignificant defects, a 9 or better on a 1-10 scale
EXCELLENT = Would be Near Mint, except for a couple of light hairlines or scuffs, which do not affect play
VG++ = still a very nice record with all or nearly all of its original gloss but may have a few more light, surface marks, hairlines, needle tracks or the like which should not materially affect play
VG+ = a nice, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It probably plays with a few pops, but has no serious problems.
VG = a well-used record that still should sound OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.
VG- = a very well-worn record that plays through without skipping, but will do until a better copy comes along.
Good = not actually good at all but probably will play through but with much in the way of surface noise, pops, crackles, etc. Still, will have no cracks, chips or the like
Fair = you are getting this record just to own but not to play
Poor = the sky's the limit, generally I will discard a record this bad (and sell the cover, jacket or sleeve alone) unless the label holds some particular interest
