Description

CONNIE FRANCIS WITH THIS VERY RARE FIRST ISSUE MONO GATEFOLD DOUBLE LP RELEASE ON MGM E-4869 & E-3871 THAT WAS ISSUED IN 1960 "CONNIE FRANCIS SINGS JEWISH FAVORITES " & " CONNIE FRANCIS - MORE ITALIAN FAVORITES. THIS 50 YEAR OLD GATEFOLD COVER IS IN VG+ CONDITION HAVING A NICELY TAPED 5"TOP & BOTTOM SEAM SPLITS. THE RECORDS ARE IN VG+ TO VG++ CONDITION AND PLAY PERFECTLY. I'M UNABLE TO FIND THIS UNUSUAL ISSUE LISTED ANYWHERE IN ALL OF MY MANY RECORD RESOURCE CATALOGS. THEREFORE, I BELIEVE THIS SPECIAL ISSUE WAS STRICTLY PROMOTIONAL, GIVEN THE FACT THAT ONLY THE FRONT COVER SLICK IS PRESENT. THE REST OF THE INSIDE PANELS AND BACK PANEL ARE BLANK (SEE PHOTOS). NO MENTION ANYWHERE OF THE CONTENTS OF EITHER ENCLOSED RECORD, JUST THE FRONT COVER SLICK STATING "TWO EXCITING NEW ALBUMS BY AMERICA'S NUMBER ONE SINGER" & THE TITLES OF EACH RECORDING. ALSO, THIS GATEFOLD COVER IS CONSTRUCTED OF A MUCH HEAVIER & THICKER HARDBOARD MATERIAL THAN A NORMAL DOUBLE LP COVER IS MADE OF. ALTHOUGH THE LABELS ARE BLACK, I'M SURE THIS GATEFOLD RELEASE WAS NEVER ISSUED COMMERCIALLY. ADDITIONALLY, I ALSO ACQUIRED SEVERAL OTHER LP RECORDINGS FROM THE SAME SOURCE ALL OF WHICH WERE PROMOTIONAL ISSUES. I'VE STATED MY BELIEF, NOW IT'S UP TO THE BIDDERS TO DETERMINE IT'S VALUE & IF IT'S A PROMO. THIS IS THE ONLY ONE ON EBAY & THE ONLY ONE I'VE EVER COME ACROSS. SELECTIONS INCLUDE: MORE ITALIAN FAVORITES: TORERO, NIGHTS OF SPLENDOR, TELL ME YOU'RE MINE, THAT'S AMORE, RETURN TO ME, THE LOVELIEST NIGHT OF THE YEAR, GUAGLIONE, SENZA MAMMA, JUST SAY YOU LOVE ME, FUNICULI, FUNICULA, SUMMETIME IN VENICE, ROMAN GUITAR. JEWISH FAVORITES: TZENA, TZENA, MY YIDDISHE MOMME, I LOVE YOU MUCH TOO MUCH, SHEIN VI DE LEVONE, MEIN SHTETELE BELZ, O MEIN PAPA, ANNIVERSARY SONG, OIFEN PRIPETCHIK, HAVAH NEGILAH, YOSSEL, YOSSEL, WUS GEVEN IS GEVEN, MOM -E-LE. WINNER PAYS $4.00 S & H WITHIN THE U.S.A. OUTSIDE THE U.S.A., ASK FOR A QUOTE. CHECKS, M/O'S & PAYPAL ACCEPTED . CHECKS DELAY SHIPPING 10 DAYS.
