Related searches
A classic mid 60s live album by The Staple Singers – recorded at Chicago's New Nazareth Church! Originally released in the tumult of the Civil Rights era, it stands strongly as one of the finest gospel soul sessions ever – genuinely inspirational to this day, with a soaring, joyful spirit – which is truly astonishing, given the times it was recorded in. Titles include "When The Saints Go Marching In", "What You Gonna Do", "When I'm Gone", "We Shall Overcome", "Tell Heaven", "Precious Lord Take My Hand" and more. © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.
Very Good
- Vinyl can have some dirt, but nothing major.
- May not shine under light, but should still be pretty clean, and not too dirty.
- May have a number of marks (5 to 10 at most), and obvious signs of play, but never a big cluster of them, or any major mark that would be very deep. Most marks should still not click under a fingernail.
- May not look near perfect, but should play fairly well, with slight surface noise, and the occasional click in part of a song, but never throughout a whole song or more.
- This is clearly a copy that was played by someone a number of times, but which could also be a good "play copy" for someone new.
Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
