RAY CHARLES
“MODERN SOUNDS IN COUNTRY & WESTERN MUSIC”
VOLUME 1 & VOLUME 2
(HIS MASTER’S VOICE RECORDS - 2 RARE UK FIRST PRESSED LPS)
ON OFFER HERE ARE TWO RARE VINYL LPS BY RAY CHARLES. HERE ARE BOTH OF HIS GREAT ALBUMS ENTITLED “MODERN SOUNDS IN COUNTRY AND WESTERN MUSIC” (VOLUMES 1 & 2).
INCREDIBLY VOLUME 2 IS HAND-SIGNED BY RAY CHARLES. IT WAS AUTOGRAPHED BY RAY CHARLES AT THE FREE TRADE HALL MANCHESTER IN APRIL 1967.
ON EBAY THERE IS A GUIDE TO BUYING RAY CHARLES AUTOGRAPHS BY RUTHIEWRITES, WHO WORKED WITH RAY CHARLES AND WAS RAY’S PERSONAL FRIEND, AND I QUOTE:
“I HAVE NOTICED THERE ARE OFFERS HERE ON EBAY TO BUY 'AUTHENTIC' AUTOGRAPHS AND SIGNATURES OF THE LATE RAY CHARLES. NONE OF THESE CAN BE AUTHENTIC. AND THERE IS A SIMPLE REASON WHY. RAY CHARLES COULD NOT SIGN HIS NAME IN CURSIVE. HE COULD MAKE A SIMPLE BLOCK SIGNATURE OF THE LETTERS R A Y BECAUSE HIS MOTHER TAUGHT HIM BEFORE HE WAS COMPLETELY BLIND.” SO BEWARE WHEN YOU SEE ANY RAY CHARLES AUTOGRAPHS FOR SALE.
AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE FROM MY PHOTOGRAPH THIS IS A 100% GENUINE RAY CHARLES AUTOGRAPH - THE ANNOTATION BELOW THE AUTOGRAPH WAS MADE BY THE LADY WHO OBTAINED THE SIGNATURE.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM
MINT (M) 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 (EX) 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 (VG) 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 (G) 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.
