Reed THE Pleasant View Quartet takes great pride in this album, and hopes that it will re- A mind you daily of the goodness of our Savior. The quartet formed about four years ago from the Pleasant View Baptist Church choir, Kingsport, Tennessee. The Lord has richly blessed us during these four years, and we thank Him for each time we have stood before a congregation to witness for Him. Most of all, we thank Him for each soul we have seen saved or rededicated. This is the first record for the quartet. We have selected songs that have a deep spiritual meaning to each of us. Through this recording, we hope you will find encouragement in your Christian life. If you do not know the Lord as your personal Savior, our prayer is that you will surrender your life to Him. The group consists of James (Jim) Helton, singing lead; Phyllis Goins, alto; Billy C. Dun- can, bass; and Larry Stapleton, singing tenor and accompanying on the guitar. The pianist is Mrs. Jim (Shelby) Helton, whose father. Rev. Ralph Cook, is lifetime pastor of Pleasant View Baptist Church. This album is dedicated to Reverend Cook and the members of Pleasant View Baptist Church, who have given us inspiration and encouragement in this endeavor.

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.
