Yonder Mountain String Band Self-Titled Sealed Vinyl LP - Vanguard ‎VSD 79801 Record Store Day 2013 Release - Limited to 1500
Condition: New, Still Factory Sealed.
Yonder Mountain String Band is an eponymous progressive bluegrass album by the Yonder Mountain String Band. It was released May 9, 2006 by Vanguard Records.
AllMusic Review by AllMusic A significant step forward for Colorado's Yonder Mountain String Band, this 2006 self-titled album marks the bluegrass ensemble's Vanguard Records debut and its first collaboration with pop/rock producer Tom Rothrock (Beck, Elliott Smith). Although the group's jam-band leanings are still evident on this 12-track set, the songs are some of the most focused and confident of the act's career, with standouts including the Byrds-like opener, "Sidewalk Stars," and "I Ain't Been Myself in Years," which recalls Jeff Tweedy's pre-Wilco work with Uncle Tupelo. While the focus of the album is still on Yonder Mountain String Band's amazingly deft banjo, mandolin, and guitar interplay, it also features a tighter sense of songwriting and added rhythmic heft, easily making it one of the group's most assured and enjoyable outings.
Track listing "Sidewalk Stars" (Adam Aijala, Jeff Austin, Dave Johnston, Ben Kaufmann, Tom Rothrock) – 4:13 "I Ain't Been Myself in Years" (Benny Galloway) – 3:08 "How 'Bout You?"

I use the Goldmine Grading System, and play-test all records. I note any differences between vinyl and cover, and make note of any inserts, special sleeves, or potential defects.

MINT (M) - Absolutely perfect in every way. Most often this is a still sealed record, records that have been opened are rarely if ever marked as Mint.

NEAR MINT (NM) - A good description is that it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time. In other words, it?s nearly perfect, with no visible defects. 

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) - Except for a couple minor things, this could be Near Mint. Most collectors will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if on the high end (VG++). VG+ records may show slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Covers should have only minor wear. 

VERY GOOD (VG) - VG records are among the biggest bargains, and for many, will be worth the money. They can lack the original gloss, may have surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages. But the noise will not overpower the music. VG covers will have signs of handling, and may have minor splits. 

GOOD PLUS (G+) - Good+ does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, but it has significant surface noise and groove wear. Cover may have significant ring wear, noticeable writing, or obvious damage.

GOOD (G) - Record may have some skipping, but is otherwise listenable. I generally avoid selling Good (G) rated records unless they are highly collectible or desirable, in order to enjoy until something better comes along. Cover has major wear or seam splits that need repair, or heavy writing like radio station call letters to prevent theft.
