The old gospel spirituals are still favorites with millions of people who migrated from rural America to Suburbia. Beloved hymns and stalely anthems have for the most part replaced the spirituals during Sunday morning wor- ship hours. And this is as it should be. But during the more informal services of the church, at “Sunday Sings” and in the home, nothing can take the place of these fast- paced spirited songs that cause the face to smile, the tongue to sing and the foot to pat. These southern-style epirituals are in reality forerunners of much of the music that is the sound of America today! So, if your teenagers would like to be “turned on” to new sounds, try these songs out on them. Even though the songs are old, chances are they’ll have a modern “feel” to the kids, and maybe listening to this album is something the whole family can enjoy together! The spirituals are recorded by THE VERNON BROTH- ERS of Springfield, Missouri, four of seven sons who grew up singing these songs at a little country church near their home. The Vernon Brothers are now producer- ministers of a religious television series entitled “Home- stead, U. S. A.” Their television and evangelistic labors have taken them to Europe, Africa, Australia, Vietnam, Israel, and even behind the Iron Curtain.

We follow grading parameters from Goldmine Magazine:
Mint (M)  Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.
Near Mint (NM or M-) A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly)that no record is ever truly perfect.  The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.  An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like.  Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap. 
Very Good Plus (VG+)
A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.  Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK".  The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play.  Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. 
Very Good (VG)  Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.  Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them. 
Good (G), Good Plus (G+)  Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white).  A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. 
Poor (P), Fair (F)   The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled, and written upon.
