PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING! THIS ITEM HAS A FEW "INJURIES" THAT MAY AFFECT YOUR BID. THIS ITEM WAS VISUALLY GRADED AND I'VE TAKEN EXTRA CARE TO DESCRIBE THIS ITEM BY MY STRICTEST STANDARDS. WE ARE NOT LIKELY TO SEE MANY COPIES OF THIS IN OUR LIFETIME! I'VE INCLUDED MANY PHOTOS OF THIS ITEM.

YOU ARE BIDDING ON ONE THE RAREST AND MOST SOUGHT AFTER ROCK & ROLL ALBUMS ON THE PLANET! IT IS A PROMOTIONAL ALBUM OF THE SOUNDTRACK TO THE 1957 MOVIE "JAMBOREE". FEATURES 22 SONGS (INCLUDING "GREAT BALLS OF FIRE" BY JERRY LEE LEWIS). INTERESTINGLY, THE ONLY PLACE ON THE ALBUM THAT MENTIONS " DISC JOCKEY COPY-NOT FOR SALE" IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT COVER IN VERY SMALL PRINT! AND THERE IS NO CATALOG NUMBER MENTIONED ON THE COVER OR RECORD LABEL! (WARNER BROTHERS RECORDS (I THINK!), NO CATALOG #, U.S. PRESSING, 33 1/3 RPM, DISC JOCKEY COPY).
I WILL START WITH GRADING THE ALBUM COVER. THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE ALBUM COVER IS VERY CLEAN, WITH A LITTLE BIT OF STORAGE WEAR. THERE IS A NUMBER WRITTEN ON THE BACK OF THE COVER. ALL THE SEAMS ON THE COVER HAVE BEEN NEATLY SCOTCH TAPED BY A PREVIOUS OWNER. THE SPINE HAD A MAJOR SEAM SPLIT (REPAIRED), THE BOTTOM SEAM HAS A SMALL SEAM SPLIT (REPAIRED), THE TOP SEAM IS SOLID (ALTHOUGH IT WAS TAPED AS WELL). THERE ARE SMALL CORNER "DINGS" ON 3 OF THE CORNERS. THE UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER HAS A CREASE, WHICH CAN ONLY BE SEEN UNDER LIGHT. ON THE BACK OF THE SLEEVE, THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER IS BENT WITH A LITTLE PAPER SEPARATION (YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE ALL THIS IN THE PICTURES). NOW FOR THE VINYL: THE LABELS ARE SUPRISINGLY CLEAN, WITH ONE SMALL PAPER TEAR ON SIDE 2 RIGHT THROUGH THE "FATS DOMINO" CREDIT. THE VINYL LOOKS AS THOUGH IT WAS NEVER STORED IN A PROTECTIVE SLEEVE AND SHUFFLED ABOUT QUITE A BIT CAUSING A MULTITUDE OF LIGHT SCRATCHES AND A LOT OF SCUFFS. THERE ARE SOME VERY NOTICABLE SCRATCHES THROUGH THE FIRST 3 SONGS OF SIDE 1. AND NOW FOR THE MOST OBVIOUS INJURY: THERE APPEARS TO BE A CIGARETTE BURN ON TRACK 6 SIDE 2 (JOE WILLIAMS "I DON'T LIKE YOU NO MORE) AND IT APPEARS TO BE NON-PLAYABLE. I ALMOST HAVE TO GRADE THIS ITEM IN 3 SEGMENTS:  ALBUM COVER IS VG (A VERY NICE VG, THOUGH!), THE LABELS ARE VG (WOULD BE BETTER IF NOT FOR THE SMALL PAPER TEAR) , THE RECORD ITSELF GETS A FAIR GRADING (REMEMBER, THIS IS VISUALLY GRADED AND I CAN NOT GUARANTEE THE AUDIO QUALITY). STILL AN EXTREMELY RARE ITEM IN ANY CONDITION! COMES FROM A VERY LARGE JERRY LEE LEWIS COLLECTION THAT I AM CURRENTLY LISTING.
