Description
This is a very cool and rare radio station only 45 rpm of "The Bird" by The Dutones. Both sides feature this song.
The media condition is excellent to NM and appears to have never been played.
The sleeve is the original art/picture sleeve with artwork on front and blank on the reverse. Sleeve has some cornering and aging but it is solid and all its graphics and print are clear and bold.
Provenance: This - and all the 45s and LPs that I'll be listing - are from my personal collection, given to me personally by Sam and Becky Phillips. My uncle was Sam Phillips, of Sun Records. His wife, my Aunt Becky, was one of the first female deejays on the first all-woman radio station, WHER, that Sam founded and which went on the air on October 29th, 1955. Of Becky's voice, Sam had this to say: "There's something about your voice, out of the night, out of the light, out of the sky, here comes your voice. On a little Atwater Kent radio or something." Becky continued her broadcasting career for three decades after WHER's inception.
I'm admittedly too chicken with a needle to attempt to play this so this item is sold as-is and untested.
I'm also tragic with a camera so if you need further details or have any comments or questions, please don't hesitate to let me know. But I'm not that crazy; the front and reverse photos are identical! I suppose the Tokens didn't want to go to the expense of having different images on different sides of the sleeve....
I have a small but highly collectible selection of vinyl coming up so please stay tuned.
I'm more than happy to combine shipping on domestic and international orders; please, just ask!
Thank you for looking!
