Gene Vincent Rocks And The Blue Caps Roll – Rock ‘n Roll Vinyl LP – 1958 OG

86

I had listed this album yesterday, but ended the listing early because there were a couple of errors in the listing. This listing correctly shows this to be Vincent’s third album, with the corrected title. I apologize for the error.

Gene Vincent, with his Blue Caps, was one of the earliest purveyors of rockabilly music and earned his fame very quickly with his debut hit, “Be Bop A Lula”.  That unforgettable hit remains one of the classic rock ‘n roll and rockabilly hits of all time.  This was Vincent’s third album. He delivers his wonderfully exhilarating rock ‘n roll and rockabilly music on these classic covers.  This is a seminal rock ‘n roll album and just an incredibly fun listen. The album was released on Capitol in 1958, number T-970.  This is the original release of the album. The vinyl is in exceptional condition with its bright original luster and a few light surface scratches and paper scuffs that do not significantly impact play.  It plays beautifully with just very light sporadic background noise and a couple of small tics. The vinyl grades VG. The album cover shows ring wear and corner and edge wear including a two inch split on the open side of the top seam.  The other seams are sharp, tight, and intact. There is age discoloration. There is a date written on the back.  The cover grades VG.

Grading Information

I use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings.  The first album will typically cost approximately $22.  Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country.  Typically the cost per album will be no more than $27.  Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.

Thanks for looking and please contact me with any questions.
