Chuck & Mary Perrin were a brother and sister folk duo who played together from 1965 until the late 70s. They recorded two self-financed LPs in 1968 and 1969 entitled 'Brother & Sister' and 'Next Of Kin', then a third LP 'Life Is A Stream' for Sunlight Records in 1971 which featured fuller arrangements and orchestration from members Chicago Symphony Orchestra. All of these albums have recently been reissued by Rev-ola Records in the UK and MP3s are available at Chuck's site. Chuck gave up full-time performing in 1979 due to family commitments, although he still records and performs today. Mary died in February 2003.

Song taken from debut lp "Brother & Sister", little info about this record: "Mary & I had made our trip to Nashville to record a couple of songs @ the RCA Studios. We'd also recorded some acetate demos when the Shaggs recorded in Elkhart, Indiana. But we finally decided to take the proverbial bull by its horns & record & release an album on our own. This wasn't as commonplace a task as it is today. Pressing plants were not set up to deal with small companies & small runs. On Saturday December 14, 1968 we spent about 6 hours at Jerry Milam's Golden Voice Sound Studio -- a cement block structure located in the middle of a corn field in South Pekin, Illinois -- recording our first album, live & direct to tape. Jerry was a well-respected audio expert, & had connections with various pressing facilities. We enlisted the help of a young musician friend from Websters, Chris White, who played bass & occasional guitar. We taught Chris the bass parts & then just recorded each song in a take or two. I designed the foldout album cover & sent it down to RCA's plant in So. Illinois to be pressed. Front & inside photos were taken one perfect cloudy day in Detweiler Park, Peoria Illinois by Gene Conley. Bill Banks took the effervescent back photo."

We are focused on conservatively grading your vinyl records, likely, it is better than described. We use the universal grading guide by Goldmine Standards as listed below.

GOLDMINE RATINGS

Mint | Near Mint | Very Good Plus | Very Good | Good/Good Plus | Poor/Fair

Mint (M): Absolutely perfect in every way - certainly never 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 shows no obvious sign of wear. A 45 rpm sleeve has no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.

An LP jacket has no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar defect. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same is true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, and the like. Basically, Near Mint looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.

Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sign are OK. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but is should be barely noticeable. The center hole is not misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turn-up corners, or a slight seam-split. An LP jacket my 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. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.

Very Good (VG): Many of the defects found in a VG+ record are more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during the song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will 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. A jacket or sleeve has seem splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. If it's a common item, you'll probably find another copy in better shape eventually. Pass it up. But if it's something you have been seeking for years, and the price is right, get it.

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/or writing. The LP jacket barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, and written upon.
