Lecil Travis Martin (September 1, 1931 – April 12, 1999), whose stage name was Boxcar Willie, was an American country music singer-songwriter, who sang in the "old-time hobo" music style, complete with overalls, and a floppy hat. "Boxcar Willie" was originally a character in a ballad he wrote, but he later adopted it as his own stage name. His early musical career was parallel to service as an enlisted flight engineer in the United States Air Force.

 

Grade

Mint

Unplayed Record or sealed

NM

Near Mint

Near perfect, probably played only a few times.

EX

Excellent

Minor scuffs, slightly visible, not more than 15% of surface. Scratches that cannot be felt with fingernail. Plays close to perfect.

VG+

Very Good Plus

Vinyl in a really good shape with only superficial signs of use
that don't affect play. Only well cared for records will grade
out to VG+. Will satisfy all but the most demanding collector.

VG

Very Good

A used, reasonable copy. There will be obvious signs of wear
and the possibility of light surface noise between tracks or
during quiet passages, but still quite nice.
