Description
FOR SERIOUS RICKY NELSON COLLECTORS HERE IS THE ULTIMATE, NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE RICKY FIND. I OBTAINED THIS ITEM FROM A LOCAL THEATER IN THE 60'S FROM A FRIEND OF MINE WHO OWNED THE NEIGHBORHOOD THEATRE. WHEN THE MOVIE"THE WACKIES SHIP IN THE ARMY" WAS PLAYING AT THIS THEATRE HE WAS GIVEN WHAT IS CALLED A THEATRE PROMOTION RECORD. THIS WAS TO BE PLAYED IN THE LOBBY TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THE RICKY NELSON FANS AND THE MOVIE. HE GAVE ME THIS RECORD BECAUSE WITH HIM KNOWING I WAS THE BIGGEST RICKY NELSON FAN AND HE DID NOT WANT TO BE BOTHERED WITH SOUND THROUGHOUT THE THEATRE. ALSO AT THE CLOSING OF THE MOVIE AT HIS THEATRE HE GAVE ME A SINGLE SHEET 21" X 40" MOVIE POSTER, AND 8 LOBBY CARDS FROM THE "WACKIES SHIP IN THE ARMY". I STILL HAVE THEM IN MY COLLECTION IN MINT CONDITION. THIS IS A ONE SIDED 45RPM. IT STATES ON LABEL JACK LEMMON PLAYS, RICKY NELSON SINGS. RECORD NUMBER IS KB-760, TITLE OF SONG, "DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO MISS NEW ORLEANS?" FROM THE SOUNDTRACK OF THE "WACKIES SHIP IN THE ARMY". AT THE BEGINNING OF RECORD THERE IS AN ANNOUNCER PROMOTING THE MOVIE AND STATING TITLE OF SONG. THIS RECORD IS IN VG++CONDITION AS I ONLY PLAYED IT THREE TIMES AT BEST. THIS RECORD WAS ISSUED IN A PLAIN WHITE SLEEVE. THIS HAS BEEN IN MY RICKY NELSON COLLECTION ALL THESE YEARS. IT IS NOW TIME FOR OTHERS TO ENJOY WHAT IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE RAREST RICKY NELSON VINYL. SEE PHOTOS AND EMAIL ANY QUESTIONS. THIS RECORD MUST BE INSURED TO SHIP.
