AMG Review
by Andrew Hamilton

More than six feet tall and muscled, Garland Green could have been an NFL linebacker but chose instead to serenade the ladies with his masculine, aching tenor. This debut album, produced by Joshie Armstead and hubby Mel Collins, is as good as a greatest-hits compilation. It contains his number 20 pop hit "Jealous Kind of Fella," a song where Green knocks out the competition for his woman then begs — over the telephone — for forgiveness. The answer song "Don't Think That I'm a Violent Guy" (number 42 pop) follows the same theme. When his woman finally leaves, he bellows "I Can't Believe You Quit Me" and calls himself "Mr. Misery." Also enjoyable are "Forty Days and Nights," "All She Did," "You Played on a Player," "Love Now Pay Later," and "Ain't That Good Enough" written by Armstead and her former songwriter partners Valerie Simpson and Nicholas Ashford.

GOLDMINE GRADING

MINT ---- It should appear to be perfect. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains, labels or writing, tears or splits. Mint means perfect.

NEAR MINT ---- Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly.

VERY GOOD PLUS ---- The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully. Not too far from perfect. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original luster may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors.

VERY GOOD ---- Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, but should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.

GOOD ---- Well played with little luster and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record should still play all the way through without skipping. Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not obliterate the artwork.

POOR ---- Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above "Good" grading should be seen as Poor. Several cover flaws.
