Railroad Earth Last Of the Outlaws Vinyl 2 LP + Download Card Black Bear - LP-Bear-001 (2014)
Condition: New, Still Factory Sealed. 
Railroad Earth is a bluegrass-influenced American band formed in Stillwater, New Jersey in 2001. The band's music combines elements of progressive bluegrass, folk, rock, country, jazz, Celtic and other Americana influences. Recognized as "carrying on the tradition of improvisational, genre-spanning music laid forth by the Grateful Dead," Railroad Earth is known for lyrical songwriting and extensive live improvisation. The band takes its name from the Jack Kerouac prose poem "October in the Railroad Earth". The band also has a song of the same name.
AllMusic Review by Thom Jurek   Last of the Outlaws is an ambitious, mercurial tapestry chock-full of deftly crafted, soulfully played songs, and more. "Chasin' the Rainbow" walks the line between country and bluegrass, but its staggered vocal harmonies, and the knotty interplay between banjo, mandolin, and fiddle, bleed and blur those boundaries. Before anyone moans "jam band", know that its focus, taut discipline, and musical drama are not only engaging but riveting. There is no inherent circular theme, yet all of its parts are inherently linked. From that Celtic introduction, various folk traditions (from Appalachian to Anglo-Celtic), jazz, modern crossover classical music, country, bluegrass, and rock all enter and slip out the back door with a multitude of instruments -- including reeds and winds making appearances. Though Last of the Outlaws raises RE's music to a wholly different level, it remains rooted in direct communication that transfers emotion without artifice or pretension. This is music that comes from the land and embraces all that heaven will allow.

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.
