***********************************

This round of auctions consists of records from the collection of improvisational guitarist, Davey Williams.  Davey is a co-founder of the Trans Museq ensemble, and has worked with artists such as Johnny Shines, Rev. Fred Lane, Curlew, Eugene Chadbourne, John Zorn, The Shaking Ray Levis, Ikue Mori, Amy Denio, and Col. Bruce Hampton.

***********************************

NM : Near Mint.  This is the highest grade I will use.  Records should look & sound as new.  If any imperfection exists, it will be of the most minor significance, and barely visible. 

EX : Very close to NM.  May have a couple of light sleeve scuffs / marks that are visible under strong light and do not affect play.  Records should still play as new.  Covers may show very minor wear, still quite presentable. 

VG+ : Records will show minor signs of handling / wear.  Scuffs may be more prominent, and a few light scratches may be present but should not directly affect play.  Covers may have very light ringwear, corner bends, or small seam splits.

VG : These records will show more prominent signs of wear, such as moderate loss of gloss, groove wear, or light scratches. Records may play with minor background noise that can be heard in quieter sections or between tracks, but will not overwhelm the music.  A few tics & pops may be present but should not detract from the listening experience in any major way.  Covers may show heavier ringwear, seam splits, prominent writing, etc.  

VG- : I will only list records in this condition that could still be considered desirable.  Records will have heavy signs of wear, and scratches that could cause repeated tics / pops but should still play through without skipping.  Covers may have multiple seam splits, water damage, etc.
