Comments:     Tuscumbia, city, seat (1870) of Colbert county, northwestern Alabama, U.S. It is situated in the Muscle Shoals area on the Tennessee River, about 65 miles (105 km) west of Huntsville, and forms with Florence, Sheffield, and the city of Muscle Shoals a four-city metropolitan area. Founded in 1817 as Ococoposa (from a Chickasaw-Choctaw word meaning “cold water,” referring to a local creek), it was renamed Tuscumbia (1822) for Tashka Ambi, a Cherokee chief.

Major manufactures in the Tuscumbia area include flooring, aluminum, and lumber. Tuscumbia was the birthplace (at Ivy Green, the Keller family home) of Helen Keller, the internationally known blind and deaf author and educator. William Gibson’s play The Miracle Worker (1959), portraying her childhood efforts under the tutelage of Anne Sullivan to overcome her handicaps, is staged there each summer, and the Helen Keller Festival honouring her life is held in June. Pickwick Lake, Wilson Lake, and Joe Wheeler State Park are all nearby, and Natchez Trace Parkway traverses the region to the northwest. The Alabama Music Hall of Fame, honouring the state’s musicians, is in the city; to the southwest is the Key Underwood Coon Dog Memorial Graveyard (1937), which hosts a Labor Day celebration. Inc. town, 1820; city, 1865. Pop. (2000) 7,856; (2010) 8,4

Goldmine Record Grading Standards

All records are guaranteed to play satisfactorily.  If your record doesn't play as described, or is not rated according to the Goldmine Standards, returns or resolutions are welcome. 

 However, I do encourage additional questions, or requests for soundclips, if you're not comfortable with the grading standards used - in order to reduce incidents of returns.  

Grades:

NM -   A near perfect record - new/unplayed

VG+    Clean record, free of major flaws

VG      Record with physical flaws, but plays OK, perhaps with light surface noise

 VG -   More visible flaws than a VG record; but, still plays, with some noise; though, not overpowering

G+/G/Fair  - Records with more flaws than a VG- record [historical, collection fillers of DJ's, with noise reducing equipment]
