Bob McCarthy was a notable and renowned singer/songwriter guitarist in the late 60's and early 70’s, performing at college concerts and Boston/Cambridge area coffeehouses. Released on the Wandra Records label, recorded at Bill Riseman’s Aengus Studios and engineered by Jesse Henderson. Occasional appearances of second guitar, bongos, violin, dobro, bass and drums, the recording features Andy Pratt, Robin Batteau, Abraham Laboriel and Rick Shlosser on “Working on the Mainline”, a hit in the Boston area. This album is all original material, mainly 6-string acoustic guitar and vocals. Quoting from Variety of his performance at Gerde’s Folk City in 1973, “His work on six-string acoustic guitar stands out. ...McCarthy does one tune in ragtime style and as with the jazz material, seems unhampered by delivering solo stylings usually associated with combos.”
Grading:
Mint-...(minus)...[NM 9]...A great record, only a few light marks or scuffs, high gloss, very clean, just like it came from the record store.
[VG++8] [VF+ 7]...Used and played, but not abused. light scratches and/or paper scuffs. Labels are very clean. The record plays with very minimal surface noise. A very collectable condition.
[VG 6]...A nice record, but looks a little more used and played. Light scratches and scrapes, still plays well, but with a bit more surface and background noise. The labels are showing ring wear, and possibly a few tears, etc.
[VG- 5]...(minus)...Very used, a bit rough, but still plays through without skipping. Background noise is noticeable. Good enough to fill the gap in your collection until a better copy comes along.
[G 4]...Good enough for the juke box. Plays through but probably has a skip or two, and one or two fairly deep scratches. The label will look very well used.
About Us:
My dad's been collecting records for more than 30 years, and although he's a pro at scouting basements, garages, thrift stores, and yard sales, he's scaling back the hoard and he needed an ebay partner. We have a ton of Northern Soul and a bunch of other goodies, so make sure you check back!
