General Information

Year of release>1979

Record Label> Sound Hole

Extra Information> Original rare LP, great music in fine condition, private pressing. Here's what the good people of wiki say about it:

History The album was recorded in Chet Atkins' home studio in Nashville, Tennessee. Due to Breau's drug problem, he stayed in Atkins' home prior to the session in order to be clean and able to perform. The release was on John Knowles label, Sound Hole Records, which had only two releases—this one and Knowles' own Sittin' Back Pickin'. It was never distributed and was sold through ads in guitar magazines. On some songs Breau played a separate rhythm guitar track that he later overdubbed a solo onto.

It is out of print and with a small print run, it is extremely hard to find.

Reception

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Paul Kohler wrote of the album "this record showcases Breau in the solo guitar spotlight... Breau's version of McCoy Tyner's "Visions" is astounding!!"[1]

Condition

Sleeve> Some spine damage and shelf wear

Vinyl> VG+ (few marks but nothing bad, few spots on the label)

I use the Record Collector Rare Record Grading System for grading>

"MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."

As well as the above grades, Near Mint is often used as well; this is really for a record that appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner and is assumed to have been played by them. For records which appear to fall between the accepted grades, + and - are also often added to the grading.

In addition to the basic grading, any individual faults should be noted separately such as if an otherwise Excellent cover has a name written on it, or a 7" single is missing its original centre etc.
