SISTER ROSETTA THARPE "THE GOSPEL TRUTH" 1st. mono lp on Mercury MG-20412 US issue (1959) VG+/VG.  

I would grade this lp VG+. It plays great, but has some minimal noise that was not there when the record was new. It may also have visual marks, consistent with a well cared for, but appreciated, record that’s had a moderate amount of play. This LP still plays great and has lots of shine and is beautiful overall. THIS IS A VINTAGE COPY (pre-2000). ALL LPS COME TO YOU FRESHLY CLEANED AND PLAY READY. FOR MAXIMUM  RESULTS RECLEAN EACH SIDE  AFTER INITIAL PLAY (SOME OF MY LPS HAVE NOT BEEN PLAYED FOR 40 YRS. OR MORE.) This is avery nice VG+ first press mono copy of this. A little surface noise but easily a VG+ in my opinion. There were and are so many great Gospel singers but Rosetta is the only one to my knowledge that came with that incredible Les Paul guitar.

The Jacket: In black magic marker, my initials back upper left, an x back lower left. A very functional jacket. I would rate the cover VG overall with ring, seam and corner wear. Bent corners. Just fine overall.    (I will only be citing things not visible in pictures).
