Bill Anderson-The First 10 Years 1956-1966-Classic Country 4-Disc Boxset New Factory Sealed
James William Anderson III is an American country music singer, songwriter, and television host. His soft-spoken singing voice earned him the nickname "Whispering Bill" from music critics and writers. As a songwriter, his compositions have been covered by various music artists since the late 1950s. Anderson was raised in Decatur, Georgia, and began composing songs while in high school. While in college, he wrote the song "City Lights", which became a major hit for Ray Price in 1958. His songwriting led to his first recording contract with Decca Records that year; shortly afterward, Anderson began to have major hits. In 1963, he released his most successful single, "Still". The song became a major country/pop crossover hit and was followed by a series of top 10 hits. These songs included "I Love You Drops", "I Get the Fever", and "Wild Week-End". His songs were being notably recorded by other artists. In 1964, Connie Smith had her first major hit with his composition "Once a Day". In 1971, Cal Smith had a number-one single with Anderson's "The Lord Knows I'm Drinking". Writers and music critics have considered Anderson one of country music's most significant songwriters. Steve Huey of AllMusic called him "one of the most successful songwriters in country music history". Ken Burns of PBS called him an "acclaimed singer-songwriter". In 2019, The Boot further commented on Anderson's legacy: "In fact, one of the most impressive things about Anderson is his versatility: He's the soft voice behind many classic country songs, but he's also the writer or co-writer of plenty of your current favorites." Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe cited Anderson's songwriting as the center of his legacy: "It's been Bill Anderson's songwriting that's kept him topping the country charts for decades longer than even his most successful contemporaries." In 1975, Anderson was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 2001, he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. In November 2002, BMI named him its first country songwriting icon, placing him alongside R&B artists Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, and James Brown as the only recipients of that award. In 2018, he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, along with Alan Jackson and John Mellencamp. Anderson has also been placed on several lists of country music's top writers and performers. In 2008, he was ranked 27th on Country Universe's list of the "100 Greatest Men of Country Music". He was ranked among the "100 Greatest Country Artists of All Time" in a 2017 list compiled by Rolling Stone.

Please note that all records are conscientiously graded. Every effort is taken to grade accurately, and additional pictures are provided as necessary to prevent any undue surprises. Should you feel that you haven't received the value you paid for, returns will be gladly accepted. Sealed records must be returned in original sealed condition.
Goldmine standards are used on all records as follows:
Mint (M)-A perfect record in every way. This grading will only be used on a sealed album. Near Mint (NM or M-) - A nearly perfect record including labels. Shiny vinyl with no visible defects. Labels have no writing or stickers nor are any spindle marks visible. Covers have no creases, ring wear, or splits of any kind. *Near Mint Minus (NM-) is used to indicate a nearly perfect record with nice shiny vinyl that may have one or two very fine hairline scratches and/or some very minor scuffs that would not affect play. Very Good+ or Excellent (VG+ or E) - VG+ records will show slight signs of wear including light scuffs or fine scratches, and the label may have spindle marks. Covers may show some creasing and minor ring wear and cut-outs or punch-holes. Splits less than 1 inch long may also be present. Writing and/or stickers may also be present. *Excellent (E) is used to indicate a record better than very good plus. An excellent record will have nice gloss and very few fine scratches and/or light paper scuffs. The cover will have no splits and no major creases. Very Good (VG) - May have scratches feelable with a fingernail. Most of the original gloss will be gone or it may be evident that the record has been played extensively. The cover will have ring wear and may have significant splitting of the seams. *These gradings have been added to further evaluate records according to condition.
A couple of final notes you may find useful. It is recommended that all records, even sealed records, be given a thorough cleaning prior to play. The Library of Congress archival site has information on their method for cleaning records. A static gun will help remove the inevitable static that will accumulate on the disc. Inexpensive and indispensable.
