Notes
"A true Hi-Fi Recording"

"Belief in what one does and says is, beyond all else, the single element needed to achieve any measure of greatness. The actor projects himself into the role he portrays. He must believe he is living the part. The musician loses himself in the moment of magic. On all areas of accomplishment, this simple tenet separates the genuine from the facsimile. Certainly, when the role portrayed is the part lived day by day, the sincerity of purpose is all-encompassing.

Miss Roberta Martin and the Roberta Martin singers live the role of spiritual singers each day. for more that 25 years, the vitality and warmth they project in their gospel songs has had an uplifting effect in Baptist Churches all over the country.

Miss Roberta Martin was born in Helena, Arkensas [sic]. Her family moved to Chicago when she was very young, became members of the Ebeneezer Baptist Church was one of the first to permit and to sponsor this intensely appealing music.

In those years ago, Roberta Martin was a pioneer. She organized the Roberta Martin Singers. They were the youngest Gospel singers of the time. As they travelled [sic] from church to church, carrying their message of faith with gusto and unforced charm, their fame spread, Soon they moved from city to city across the land, steadily, sturdily.

In 1948, the Original Roberta Martin Singers were recorded by Apollo. The Group was awarded a Golden Record for "Only a Look".

Belief in what one does is paramount. But there must be added abilities to persuade, to express, to resolve the message of belief. The Original Roberta Martin Singers have such distinctions. Their performances are directed only in the religious areas, but their technical arts project all the expressive characteristics of great singing. They combine to flourish and the tempo, the emotion and the accent, the sweet and the full-bodied They sustain lyric tension. Their singing warmly expresses all the vigor and vitality and veracity in the simple

Record Collector's Grading System
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
------------------------------------------------------------
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
------------------------------------------------------------
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
------------------------------------------------------------
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
------------------------------------------------------------
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
------------------------------------------------------------
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
------------------------------------------------------------
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
------------------------------------------------------------
CDs & CASSETTES: As a general rule, CDs and cassettes either play perfectly - in which case they are in Mint condition - or they don't, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CDs are difficult to grade visually: they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaced if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves
