-Artist / Group:  Del Kacher

-Mini bio: American guitarist and inventor born in 1938 in Hammond, Indiana. His many creations include the wah-wah guitar pedal.

-Del Kacher also released a few singles with Joe Leahy in 1977 and as Kachers In The Rye in 1966

-As an artist, Del Kacher's most sought after record is his 1960 haunting instrumental titled Night Mist Over Highway No. 2 b/w his rockin' version of All Of Me wherein Del Kacher delivers a blistering guitar solo!

-Side One: Night Mist Over Highway No. 2

-Written by Japanese songwriters, Tetsuo Miyagawa and Tadashi Yoshida was originally recorded by The Three Suns during their 1950's live tour of Japan and there was a Japanese only 45 rpm single release titled Yogiri No Dai Ni kokudo on Japanese Victor SS-1170 which of course translates to Night Mist Over Highway No. 2.

-Del Kacher's version of Night Mist Over Highway No. 2 is a beautiful, haunting mid-tempo instrumental with cascading accordion, guitar, percolating bass, drums and Del Kacher's amazing guitar work throughout....this record is in the memory of many listeners from 1960 who simply never knew that the artist was Del kacher and that the song title was Night Mist Over Highway No. 2. 

-Side two: All Of Me

-Hot rock  instrumental version of the classic 1932 song first recorded in 1932 by both Louis Armstrong and Paul Whiteman.

-Del Kacher's version of All Of Me starts out innocently enough with just bouncing guitar and accordion then explodes with a sizzling guitar solo from Del Kacher with driving bass and drums....hot instrumental!

Record grading:

(M) Mint: A mint record should appear to have just left the manufacturers without any handling; that is, it should appear perfect! No light scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains on labels or writing, tears or splits; nothing. Perfect. And age has nothing to do with it; the same standards for Mint apply to a rare rockabilly single from 1955 as they do to a Top 40 record from 1988! There are no sliding values for Mint. A Mint record cover should appear to have never had a record in it; no ring-wear, dog-eared corners, writing, seam-splits; nothing! Perfect! Even a new, unplayed old stock record can have factory flaws. Mint should be used sparingly and will usually attract a premium value to serious collectors. Mint means perfect and nothing else!

(SS) Still sealed: Still sealed in the factory shrink wrap.

(M-) Mint minus: A nearly perfect record. The record will show no obvious signs of wear, very light surface scuffs from normal handling are permitted but no light scratches. Original finish intact. Picture sleeves should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.

(VG+) Very good plus: The record will show some signs that it was played or otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or light scratches. Picture sleeves may have some slight ring wear, lightly turned up corners, or a small seam split.

(VG) Very good: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record or sleeve will be more pronounced in a VG record or picture sleeve. Groove wear may be noticeable, the record may have light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound, but the foreign noises will be less prominent than the music. Picture sleeves may have quite prominent ring wear. Creases, folds, seam splits and tears will be more obvious and may appear on all three sides, and there may be writing as well.

(VG-) Very good minus: Foreign noises may be about as prominent as the music. The record still plays through without skipping. The picture sleeve will have more significant seam splits, perhaps to the point where they were taped closed, and highly obvious ring wear and heavier writing. Can serve as a filler until a better one comes along.

(G) Good: We seldom offer a good record for sale unless it is particularly rare for the following reasons: Foreign noises are louder than the recorded music and listening can be distracted by the noise. May or may not play through without skipping, but should be so noted. Picture sleeves are so badly seam split that they may not be able to contain the record within.Tears, folds, writing and ring wear may be overwhelming.
