Tim Moore's '70s albums walked the middle ground between sensitive singer/songwriter and full-on soft pop. Moore's catalog produced two Top 40 hits for other artists -- "Second Avenue" for Art Garfunkel in 1974, and "Rock and Roll Love Letter" for the Bay City Rollers in 1976 -- and his material was covered by artists like Richie Havens, Etta James, and Cher. Moore was a multi-instrumentalist who'd received classical training before turning to pop music; he began his career in the '60s, playing drums for a British Invasion-influenced group called DC & the Senators. In 1966, he began doing double duty with the bluesy Woody's Truck Stop, which also featured a pre-Nazz Todd Rundgren. In 1967, together with some of DC & the Senators, Moore (now on guitar) formed a folk-pop group called the Muffins, which released the single "Subway Traveler" on RCA that year. He soon moved on to form Gulliver, a soft, folk-tinged group that also featured Daryl Hall (later of Hall & Oates fame); they recorded a self-titled album for Elektra 1in 970 before breaking up.

Record Grading
The grading system I use when determining the condition of the vinyl is The 'Record Collectors' Grading System, taken from the Rare Record Price Guide book.
Mint (M) 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.
Near Mint (NM) The record looks brand new with no scuffing or any deterioration in sound quality and only the smallest hint that its ever been played. The cover and any additional extras are clean, crisp and with no wear whatsoever.
Excellent (EX) 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 (VG) 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 (G) 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, discolouration, etc.
Fair (F) The record is still just about 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 (P) The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
I will not refund you if have not read and understood the grading system I use.
To illustrate my point: if I describe a record as Good (G), it's not brand new or excellent - sound quality has noticeably deteriorated and the cover may be damaged with splits or discoloration.
