All of Chet Atkins' fans are familiar with the first issue of the popular (and highly regarded) "Chet Atkins In Hollywood," which was recorded, of course, in Hollywood. The jacket art features a Los Angeles Night Scene in the background, with Chet's Gretch electric guitar hanging in space in the foreground. The reissue of the same album came a year or so later and featured two blondes on the cover of the jacket: a "blonde" Gretch electric guitar hanging from a street sign, and a curvaceous blonde woman being admired (ogled, perhaps?) by a young man in a convertible.
The second reissue, however, has art work which is completely different from that of the first two issues! I'd never seen this jacket before, and a quick search on eBay, past and present, turned up not one of the second-reissue jackets (though the musical selections are the same for all three issues). Does the cover art really make that much of a difference for Chet Atkins fans? Probably not. If you are a "completist," however, this one is a must-have!

New Policy Changes, Effective July 15, 2015
Only my pricing policy has changed, primarily because of the labor intensive nature of selling records the Craig Chase Vinyl way. My way makes me unique among the other fine record sellers on eBay today. This policy change is the first significant one I’ve made since I first began selling records on eBay over 13 years ago. Some reasons for the change are:
- I clean every record I sell. I use proprietary methods which are safe and effective and leave your records as clean as possible. I even clean and repair outer sleeves (and sometimes inner sleeves as well!) should they have some reparable damage (e.g., an open seam, surface grime, and the like).
- I inspect and play-grade every record I sell, except for still-sealed records. (See my grading scale, below).
- I craft my own heavy-duty mailers, not only to save you money, but to protect your investment as it wings its way to you.
- I ship your purchases usually within 24 hours of receiving your payment.
- I offer a no-quibble money-back guarantee should you feel I have exaggerated your record’s condition. Just send it back to me in the shape in which you found it, and I’ll refund your purchase price, including your initial shipping cost. If you prefer to keep the record, I will issue you a partial refund (or credit for a future purchase).
Shipping
- Shipping cost is based on your package's weight. The first single record (plus container) weighs 1 pound, 2 ounces. Each additional record weighs 10 ounces. Obviously, box-sets weigh more.
- Normal domestic shipping is by Media Mail.
- Normal International shipping is by First-Class Mail International.
Record Play-Grades
SS = Still sealed; unopened and un-played; condition unknown.
NM+ = Near Mint Plus. Extraordinarily clean, quiet, and virtually unmarked, except perhaps for a very light spindle track on the label; may not have been played.
NM = Near Mint. Clean and quiet, regardless of scuffs, hairline scratches or apparent defects.
NM- = Near Mint Minus. Less quiet than NM, with a bit more background noise, regardless of its source.
VG++ = Very good plus plus. Noisier than NM-; may say why.
VG+ = Very good plus. Noisier than VG++; will say why.
Sleeve Grades
Exc = Excellent. Virtually perfect; may be shrink-wrapped or not; looks almost new.
Exc- = Excellent minus. No major defects; clean, sound, and mark-free; perhaps a slightly bent corner or two.
VG + = Very Good Plus. May have a couple small defects, such as a little writing or a little staining or yellowing, but it's quite presentable.
VG = Very Good. Defects are more noticeable; may have needed seam repair with hot glue.
G = Good. Sleeve has some obvious challenges but is still somewhat presentable.
F = Fair. Need I say more?
