JIMMY BUFFETT - "Cheeseburger In Paradise"
I'm offering a test pressing of the popular Jimmy Buffett song "Cheeseburger In Paradise". Pressed by Masterfonics. Released in 1978 by ABC Records. Matrix #AB-12358-00110. 45rpm 7" record. In stereo. I've owned this since it came out and have played it less than five times, including just before listing it. I found no skips, pops, crackling, scratches, or scuff marks. In good condition. I worked in the entertainment business here in Hollywood and got a lot of records for free. Sometimes duplicates. Comes in a white sleeve in very good condition. Flip side is the same song. Combine auctions and save on shipping.
"Cheeseburger in Paradise" appeared on his 1978 album "Son of a Son of a Sailor" and was released as a single, reaching No. 32 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Cheeseburger in Paradise" became one of Buffett's signature songs. It's about a man who tries to amend his carnivorous habits by eating healthy foods such as sunflower seeds. The song was inspired by a boating incident in which Buffett was forced to eat only canned food and peanut butter. He eventually made it to Roadtown on the island of Tortola, and celebrated with a cheeseburger. ©Wikipedia
Singer/songwriter Jimmy Buffett has translated his easygoing Gulf Coast persona into more than just a successful recording career — he has expanded into clothing, nightclubs, and literature. But the basis of the business empire that keeps him on the Fortune magazine list of highest-earning entertainers is his music. Buffett died on September 1, 2023, at the age of 76 due to complications from Merkel-cell carcinoma, a rare and aggressive skin cancer. It is said by his official site that he passed away peacefully on the night of September 1st surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs. ©All Music

This record will be wrapped in plastic, sealed, and placed between two thick, sturdy ¼"-sheets of corrugated cardboard. On the outside I'll boldly write: HANDLE WITH CARE and KEEP OUT OF SUN. This brings the weight to 12 ounces. Consider these options for shipping: UNITED STATES Media Mail, up to 10 days, is 4.99; Ground Advantage is $7.50; and Priority Mail, 2-4 days, is $10.90.
