Gripsweat is shutting down. Starting on February 1st, 2025 the site will no longer be doing daily updates, adding any new items, or accepting new memberships. The site will continue to run in this "historical" mode until January 1st, 2026, when the site will go offline. More information is available here.
Up for purchase here is a rare and classic country and gospel collection from absolute LEGENDS IN THE GENRE that includes:
- Carter Family's Breaking Tradition LP WITH COVER SIGNED BY THE GROUP (ANITA, HELEN, LORRIE, DAVID, VICKY COOK)
- Press photo SIGNED BY ANITA, HELEN, DAVID AND LORRIE
- ONE OF A KIND PERSONAL POLAROID PHOTO OF ANITA AND HELEN PERFORMING ON STAGE THAT IS SIGNED BY BOTH ON BACK!!!
The cover presents extremely well. It has a clipped corner, common for this release as many were distributed as promos. There is some edge creasing. Would look awesome framed. Each of the items signed were inscribed to a Bill by Anita while the others simple signed.
THE LP HAS BEEN CLEANED ON A VPI 16.5, COMES IN A NEW FUDGE ANTI-STATIC SLEEVE AND WAS TREATED FOR STATIC WITH A MILTY ZEROSTAT. The LP has nice original gloss but does have some wear and marks, especially on the first side. It plays through well but with some surface static and pops. Many sections play beautifully well. I found it to be a very enjoyable listen.
I have been an ebayer since 1998 and have perfect feedback while selling many high end LPs so bid with confidence.
