Silver Haired Daddy Of Mine

The Grey Mare

Recordio Disc with red playing surface. There are some markings on the second side that I was unable to clean off but they don't seem to cause significant noise (at least it wasn't noticeable over the rest of the surface noise). Disc has a small edge bump that causes a skip at high speeds on the first dozen spins. "Sleppy & Honey" written on side A label. "Honey & Soney The Davis Twins" written on side B label.

Side A: Starts with edge warp bumping the stylus into the first part of the song. The music starts out clearer and louder and by the end of the first song [Kentucky] the lyrics begin to get distorted. Guitar, mandolin, and vocals can all be heard fairly well. The second track [Silver Haired Daddy Of Mine] is muddier than the first and is incomplete. It fades out at the end of the side.

Side B: Starts with edge warp bumping the sylus into the first part of the song. Vocal duet with bass, guitar, and mandolin. Vocal distortion is not as bad on this side but gets pronounced towards the end of the side. The very end of the side fades out quickly but the song is over or nearly over anyway.
