THE WIND / BABY, BE MINE
FORTUNE 511 (1954)
DEAD WAX #: MACHINE STAMPED 511 F 2 "0"
RARELY SEEN ORIGINAL,1ST PRESS - GLOSSY PURPLE LABEL WITH LINES, RIGID WAX, AND STATEMENT "UNBREAKABLE UNDER NORMAL USE" UNDER LINES. THE LABEL LOOKS A LITTLE BLUISH IN THE PICTURE BUT IT'S DEFINITELY PURPLE. THIS IS THE LABEL DESIGN THAT FORTUNE USED FOR THE "500" SERIES UNTIL #516 WHEN THEY DROPPED THE "UNBREAKABLE UNDER NORMAL USE" STATEMENT FROM THE LABEL.
THIS WAS NOT A NATIONAL R & B BEST SELLER WHEN FIRST ISSUED DUE TO FORTUNE'S POOR DISTRIBUTION NETWORK. IT ONLY BECAME A CLASSIC LATER ON WHEN THE OLDIES RADIO SHOWS STARTED PLAYING IT. BIGGEST SELLER OF ALL-TIME AT TIMES SQUARE RECORDS. THERE AREN'T MANY OF THESE AROUND.
CONDITION:
RECORD - VISUAL GRADE: VERY GOOD TO VERY GOOD+. NOT A WORN OUT RECORD.THE FIDELITY IS DYNAMIC AND EXCELLENT WITH JUST SOME SURFACE NOISE PARTICULARLY NOTICEABLE ON THE BEGINNING INSTRUMENTAL PASSAGE.
LABEL: NICE. NICE - NO PROBLEMS. SEE PICTURES.
