RON GRIFFEN & THE LEAVEN Songs of the Bread of Life LP Xian Folk

Description: • Artist: Ron Griffen & The Leaven • Album Title: Songs of the Bread of Life • Format: LP • Label: AEA • Country and Year of Release: USA, 1973? • Cover/Record Grade: G+++/VG+ (Cover has small tear on right side) • Other Info: The first album by this group. At their best (on songs like “Sparrow” and “One with God”) they remind me of God Unlimited, but better days were ahead for Griffen and the Leaven. For an example of that, see my listing for their Walk Across the Water LP. Payment and Shipping Information U.S. Customers: Click on the Shipping and Payments tab above to find the correct price.

(This means that I don't go by the way a record looks, only by how it plays.) Sometimes when I have a group (or a “lot”) of LPs within a single listing, I will not play all the records, but this is fairly rare. I use Mint (M), Excellent (Ex), Very Good (VG), Good (G), Fair (F), and (heaven help us) Poor (P), and I take each of these words at their literal meaning. In other words, if I assign an LP a grade of “G,” that means to me that it really is in good playing condition, not fair or worse—for many dealers, a G (or even VG) grade is often really nothing more than a euphemism for a record that is in fair or poor condition. I also use up to three plus signs (+) and up to three minus signs (-) to indicate varying degrees within a specific grade. So, a grade letter followed by a “+” means the condition is slightly better than the grade letter by itself, and a grade letter followed by “++” indicates that the condition is yet another small step higher. For example, a grade of Ex+++ means that the record is very close to being in the Mint range, but still just shy of it. This may seem like a strange system at first glance but I use it because I feel that the standard grading systems are inadequate, as they simply don't allow for enough grades or degrees within those grades. Many don't use Excellent, for example, which means that there is a jump from Mint down to Very Good—and there are a whole lot of grading possibilities in between those two, the way I see it.
