Description

NORMAN BLAKE Old And New LP NM/VG+ 1975 BLUEGRASS. In 1992, Flying Fish coupled this album with Fields of November as a single-disc release. Norman Blake (2) – Old And New. Guitar [First Guitar] – Norman Blake (2). Written-By – Norman Blake (2). Fiddle – Norman Blake (2). Old and New Review by Jim Smith Originally released in 1975, Old & New follows the same muse as its predecessor, mixing traditional material with Blake originals. All of the musicians from Fields of November are present, but overall the energy is higher, especially on the instrumentals "Miller's Reel" and "Aljimina." "Sweet Heaven" is one of Blake's best performances, and it became one of his career touchstones. In 1992, Flying Fish coupled this album with Fields of November as a single-disc release.

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.
