Dock Boggs was a singer and banjo player who sounded as if his bones
were coming through his skin every time he opened his mouth. In the
mountains of eastern Kentucky/western Virginia in the 1920s he forged a
highly personal music of such singular intensity it retains the power to
shock seventy plus years after it was recorded.
Including Boggs’s 12 original 1927 and 1929 released recordings, 5
never-before-issued 1929 outtakes, and 4 1920s cuts by Boggs’s Kentucky
compatriots Bill and Hayes Shepherd.
“Country music at its most raw-boned and intense. Superb.” – Gary Giddins
“5 Stars. Absolutely stunning” – Downbeat
“Boggs set down a handful of performances so strangely demanding
as to lead a listener to measure what he or she knew of the American
voice–any emblematic American voice, Huck Finn’s, Robert Johnson’s,
Franklin Roosevelt’s, Barbara Jordan’s–against Boggs’s, to see if what
one knew could pass his test. He created a small body of work so
dissonant that like black gravity it can seem to suck into itself
whatever music might be brought to bear upon it.” – Greil Marcus

GRADING. Grading is
visual only unless otherwise stated. I go by Goldmine standards and try to be
conservative. I will play grade on certain items only - it is just impossible
for me to play grade everything I put on EBAY.
RECORD GRADING:
MINT
(M) ---- It should be SEALED and appear to be brand new. Mint means STILL SEALED, NEVER PLAYED. NEAR MINT (NM or NM-) ---- OPENED or UNSEALED. Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny
inconsequential flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to
perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident.
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG++ or strong VG++ or VG+++) The record or cover
that all but the most particular collector would say looks outstanding.
Cover may have insignificant manufacturers defect such as notch hole or
cut corner.
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+ or strong VG+) The record has been handled and
played infrequently or very carefully. On a disc, there may be light
paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of
the original luster may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect
play would be acceptable for most collectors. Cover has most of its
original gloss and has been well taken care of. Minor seam splits may
be acceptable.
VERY GOOD (VG or strong VG) ---- Record displays visible signs of
handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface
scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise,
non-feelable marks that might or will affect the sound as mild
occasional surface noise or periodic pops/clicks. Usually a cover is VG
when one or more of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits,
bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.
VERY GOOD- (VG- or G+)
Record will show signs same as VG with heavier wear including noticeable
groove wear and feelable marks that will likely pop or click. Popping
or clicking will be most evident through quieter passages. Record
should play all the way through, but may skip.
GOOD (G) ---- Well
played with little luster and significant surface noise. Despite
defects, record should still play all the way through without skipping,
but may skip. Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not
obliterate the artwork. Filler copy until a better one can be found.
POOR
(P) ---- Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above "Good"
grading should be seen as Poor. Only the rarest of records should ever
be graded as Poor while the others should go to the trash heap.
DISCLAIMER. Due to
the number of frivolous
returns which were
unwarranted, and due to the
nature of sound recorded products that can be easily
copied, there will no
longer be a free return policy. I will charge a
$10.00 return fee for
all returns - this amount will be deducted
from the Paypal refund of the returned
item.
If item is truly
defective the entire purchase
amount
will be refunded as
long as the item is in the same condition as it was sent.
***BUYER PAYS FOR ALL
RETURN SHIPPING FEES.***
