 "WOODPECKER ROCK" b/w "WON'T YOU COME ALONG WITH ME"  MEGA-RARE 1957-58 (?) US ORIGINAL FOX No. 101 ROCKABILLY MASTERPIECE!

INCREDIBLE AND INCREDIBLY RARE! AS FAR AS WE KNOW THIS RIDICULOUSLY RARE RECORD WAS A PRIVATE PRESS FROM THE CHICAGO SUBURBS SOMETIME AROUND 1957 OR '58. THIS WAS MOST LIKELY THE ONE AND ONLY RELEASE ON THIS LABEL.

GOOD NEWS/BAD NEWS: 

BAD NEWS: THIS RECORD LOOKS LIKE HELL, HAS A GREAT DEAL OF PLAY WEAR, SCUFFS, SCRATCHES, STACKING WEAR, LABEL SOIL, ETC ETC. IT'S BEEN TO A LOT OF PARTIES AND WAS 'RODE HARD & PUT UP WET' TO USE AN OLD COWBOY PHRASE.

GOOD NEWS: HOWEVER, LIKE MANY COUNTLESS 50'S RECORDS, THIS STILL PLAYS GREAT AND SOUNDS GOOD, THE SURFACE NOISE IT HAS ONLY LENDS CREDIBILITY TO IT'S PEDIGREE. WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT PLAYABILITY JUST FROM LOOKING AT IT, BUT IN FACT I PLAYED BOTH SIDES ON A NICE TECHNICS TURNTABLE AT 1.5 GRAMS & BOTH SIDES PLAY FINE AND THE SURFACE NOISE IS NO ISSUE, CERTAINLY NOT TO ME! THIS RECORD ROCKS ON BOTH SIDES. IF YOU WANT TO WAIT FOR A MINT ONE, GO AHEAD ON, GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IN 40 YEARS DEALING RECORDS, THIS IS THE ONLY COPY I'VE EVER SEEN!

CONDITION DETAILS:

• SOILED LABELS WITH BALLPOINT WRITING, SOMEONE DIDN'T LIKE 'WOODPECKER ROCK' AND WROTE 'NOISE' ON IT, THE OTHER SIDE THEY LIKED I GUESS, AND WROTE 'ROCK N ROLL'....  I DISAGREE WITH THE CRITIQUE! BOTH SIDES ARE MONSTER!
• TONS OF SURFACE WEAR AS DESCRIBED, WOULD PROBABLY ALSO BENEFIT FROM A GOOD VPI OR NITTY GRITTY CLEANING
• PLAYS & SOUNDS GREAT ANYWAY!

VISUALLY POOR, AUDIBLY VG TO VG+

EXPECT A WINNER'S NOTICE DIRECTLY FROM US VIA EMAIL WITH ALL CORRECT SHIPPING OPTIONS & COST FOR THIS ITEM. 

ATTENTION! NO PAY PAL! SEE OUR INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH AND/OR SELLER'S PAYMENT INTRUCTIONS FOR ACCEPTABLE PAYMENT METHODS. IMMEDIATE PAYMENT REQUIRED.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH & GOOD LUCK!
