AMG Review by Denise Sullivan
Chamber Strings is the creation of Kevin Junior -- a songwriter with plenty of indie and Euro rock credentials, and the distinction of having been the last collaborator with ex-Swell Map, Epic Soundtracks, before Soundtrack's death in 1997. By hybridizing Memphis soul and glam rock, you could call Chamber Strings one gigantic homage to the Faces and the Stones, but Junior's fey vocals separate his band from becoming the next best thing since the early Black Crowes. "Dead Man's Poise" is all boogie swagger; there's a spirited drinking song, "Telegram," and the gothic '60s/Doors/Love sound of "The Race is On." "Cold Cold Meltdown" relies on the Stax sound Big Star once appropriated. The derivative Chamber Strings are full of unique contradictions: the band is whiskey-fueled yet fragile and Junior's wispy approach packs a serious rock and roll punch.

GOLDMINE GRADING
MINT ---- It should appear to be perfect. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains, labels or writing, tears or splits. Mint means perfect.
NEAR MINT ---- Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly.
VERY GOOD PLUS ---- The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully. Not too far from perfect. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original luster may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors.
VERY GOOD ---- Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, but should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.
GOOD ---- Well played with little luster and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record should still play all the way through without skipping. Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not obliterate the artwork.
POOR ---- Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above "Good" grading should be seen as Poor. Several cover flaws.
