$

270

WELCOME TO MY 60+ YEAR OLD COLLECTION OF THE  RAREST ALBUMS OF THE 50s & 60s The winning bidder will also receive a complimentary bio of the artist or group whenever possible.
THE AUTOMOBILES, MOVIES AND MUSIC OF THE 50s, CHANGED THE WORLD'S CULTURE FOREVER AND I WAS PART OF IT. IT ALL BEGAN WITH THE BIRTH OF RHYTHM & BLUES AND LATER, ROCK & ROLL.
BEFORE YOU CONSIDER BIDDING, PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO VIEW THE FEEDBACK FROM MY THOUSANDS OF CLIENTS AND READ THE DETAILED INFORMATION BELOW. IT WILL BE TO YOUR ADVANTAGE AND ELIMINATE MOST COMMUNICATION CONCERNS. I HAVE HAD TO BLOCK SOME BIDDERS BECAUSE THEY DID TAKE THE TIME TO INFORM THEMSELVES PRIOR TO BIDDING.
MY COLLECTION BEGAN IN 1951, 64 YEARS AGO,  AND IT HAS NEVER REALLY STOPPED. MY BELOVED WIFE (JOANIE), OF 54 YEARS, JUST RECENTLY PASSED AWAY AND AS A RESULT, I HAVE NO ONE TO LEAVE MY COLLECTION TO.
I STARTED WITH EBAY IN AUGUST OF 1998, LOOKING FOR A FEW OF THE CLASSICS TO COMPLETE MY COLLECTION. NOW, I AM PASSING THEM ON TO THOSE WHO APPRECIATE THE MUSIC AND THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE WORLD. THEY ARE RARE, DIFFICULT TO FIND AND ARE VERY DESIRED INVESTMENTS.
MY CLIENTS ARE WORLDWIDE! PLEASE REVIEW LOOK MY FEEDBACK!
SINCE 2003, OVER 40% OF MY RARE ALBUMS HAVE BEEN SHIPPED TO THE FOLLOWING COUNTRIES; AUSTRIA, AUSTRALIA, BELGIUM, BRAZIL, CHINA, CANADA,  DENMARK, ENGLAND, FINLAND, GERMANY, GUAM, IRELAND, ISRAEL, ITALY, JAPAN, NETHERLANDS, NEW ZEALAND, NORWAY, PORTUGAL, RUSSIA, SOUTH KOREA, SPAIN, SWITZERLAND, SWEDEN AND THE UNITED STATES. (I NO LONGER SHIP TO ITALY)  
MANY OF THE ALBUMS I WILL BE LISTING, I PERSONALLY SAW WHEN THE GROUPS CAME TO THE SEATTLE/TACOMA AREA TO PERFORM. MY PERSONAL FAVORITE AND IN MY OPINION, THE GREATEST OF THEM ALL, WAS HANK BALLARD AND THE MIDNIGHTERS, AN EARLY 50s RHYTHM & BLUES GROUP. I SAW THEM PERFORM AT THE BLUE NOTE BALL ROOM IN TACOMA, WASHINGTON IN 1956, AND AFTER THE CONCERT, HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF PERSONALLY MEETING HANK BALLARD.
1. ALL RECORDS ARE PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED, SANITIZED AND DRIED WITH A MICROFIBRE CLOTH.
2. ALL RECORDS ARE INSPECTED UNDER A STRONG LIGHT.
3. WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS, MY ALBUMS WILL BE ORIGINAL PRESSINGS.
4. ALL RECORDS ARE PLAYED PRIOR TO LISTING.
5. ALL RECORDS ARE PACKED IN SECURE CONTAINERS WITH SIX RED STICKERS THAT SAY, FRAGILE PHONOGRAPH RECORD.
5. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE ALBUMS YOU ARE BIDDING FOR, WILL HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF INVESTMENT VALUE IF YOU ARE A COLLECTOR. KEEP IN MIND THAT MANY OF THE COMPANIES THAT MANUFACTURED THESE RARE AND WONDERFUL ALBUMS, WERE OUT OF BUSINESS BEFORE 1970. 
MY PROMISE TO YOU, AN OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE RARE, HARD TO FIND 50s & 60s RHYTHM & BLUES AND ROCK & ROLL ALBUMS THAT HAVE BEEN TAKE CARE OF. MY ALBUMS OVER THE YEARS WERE PURCHASED IN RECORD STORES, PRIVATE COLLECTIONS OR FRIENDS. I DO NOT GO TO GARAGE SALES OR THRIFT STORES.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU, I SINCERELY HOPE YOU FIND THAT RARE ALBUM FROM MY AUCTIONS. YOUR WINNING BIDS WILL CERTAINLY INCREASE IN VALUE AND AT THE SAME TIME, YOU'LL ENJOY THE MUSIC THAT CHANGED THE MUSIC CULTURE FOREVER. THE FABULOUS 50s & 60s. THANK YOU!
ALL RECORDS ARE PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED AND PREPARED PRIOR TO SHIPPING, WITH NEW OUTER/INNER SLEEVES. EVERY SHIPPING BOX WILL HAVE FOUR (FRAGILE PHONOGRAPH RECORD) STICKERS VISIBLY SEEN TO PROTECT THE ALBUM. OF THE 6,000+ RECORDS I HAVE SHIPPED, ONLY ONE WAS DAMAGED AND THAT WAS MY FAULT.
GOOD LUCK BIDDING!
FROM MY PERSONAL 60 PLUS YEAR OLD COLLECTION: LABEL: ALADDIN LP-710 ORIGINAL YEAR OF PRESSING: 1956 ORIGINAL: YES GRADING SOURCE: GOLDMINE, 8TH EDITION OF THE COLLECTORS PRICE GUIDE.
IT IS OFTEN SAID THAT GRADING ANY ALBUM IS, AT BEST, MOST SUBJECTIVE. IT CERTAINLY IS TRUE FOR THE UNINFORMED OR CASUAL COLLECTOR. 
ABBREVIATED:
MINT:(NM)  ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. I REFER TO THAT AS NEW, NEVER PLAYED. (A NEW ALBUM IS ALWAYS OPENED SO I MAY VERIFY THAT IT WAS NOT DAMAGED IN ANY WAY). 
NEAR MINT: (NM) LOOKS AS IF IT JUST CAME FROM A RETAIL STORE.
VERY GOOD PLUS OR EXCELLENT: (VG+) EXCEPT FOR A COUPLE OF MINOR CONDITION ISSUES, THESE RECORDS WOULD BE NEAR MINT. 
VERY GOOD: (VG) RECORDS HAVE MORE OBVIOUS FLAWS THAN THEIR COUNTERPARTS IN BETTER SHAPE.
VERY GOOD MINUS, VERY GOOD MINUS, (VG-), GOOD PLUS (G+) DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN BAD. A TRUE VG- OR G PLAYS THROUGH WITHOUT SKIPPING. 
I WILL NOT LIST ALBUMS THAT ARE FAIR OR POOR.
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE MAJORITY OF MY ALBUMS ARE VERY DESIREABLE AND IN  DEMAND  DUE TO THE FACT THAT MOST OF THEM WERE PRODUCED IN THE 50S OR EARLY 60s AND WERE NOT MASS PRODUCED. I HAVE MANY ORIGINAL  ALBUMS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN MANUFACTURED SINCE THE 60s. THIS ARE OBVIOUSLY OF INVESTMENT GRADE VALUE AND LIKE THEY HAVE IN PAST YEARS, WILL GREATLY APPRECIATE IF IN REASONABLY GOOD CONDITION IN THE FUTURE.
THIS RECORD WAS PLAYED PRIOR TO LISTING AND I DIDN'T HEAR ANY SKIPS, STICKS, LOUD POPS OR IRRITATING HISSES. IT WAS A PLEASANT LISTENING EXPERIENCE. 
I HAVE PAID SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS AT RECORD CONVENTIONS FOR A VERY RARE ALBUMS. PRIME EXAMPLES ARE EARLY HANK BALLARD AND THE MIDNIGHTERS, BILLY WARD AND THE DOMINO, THE 5 ROYALS, AND A STEREO VERSION OF THE DUKE OF EARL BY GENE CHANDLER. THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE RARE ALBUMS THAT ARE MORE THAN WORTHWHILE. THEY CAN'T BE REPLACED!
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT MY CURRENT AND FUTURE CLIENTELE BE INFORMED ABOUT MY COLLECTION AND ITS POTENTIAL ENJOYMENT AND VALUE TO THEM. THESE ARE MUSICAL AND HISTORICAL RARITIES, NEVER TO BE PRODUCED AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME TO READ THE ABOVE AND GOOD LUCK BIDDING!
IF I HAD KNOWN WHEN I PURCHASED THIS ALBUM FOR THE SALE PRICE $1.49 IN 1956, THE FUTURE HISTORY WOULD SURVIVE. WHEN YOUR 20 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME, HINDSIGHT HAS ITS VIRTUE. I DO HOWEVER HAVE A SECOND COPY. YOU ARE BIDDING FOR, IN MY OPINION, THE RAREST OF ALL HISTORICAL RHYTHM & BLUES COLLECTIBLES, A BEAUTIFUL, WELL PRESERVED FIRST PRESSING OF ROCK 'N ROLL WITH RHYTHM & BLUES, RECORDED ON THE LEGENDARY "ALADDIN" LABEL LP-710. THIS IS THE DEEP RED LABEL WITH SILVER PRINT, VALUED FOR $1,500+ NM IN THE LATEST GOLDMINE MAGAZINE. THIS IS A VERY CLEAN COPY.
I SINCERELY QUESTION IF YOU WILL EVER FIND A NICER COPY. I PLAYED THE RECORD TWICE PRIOR TO LISTING. THERE WERE NO HISSES, POPS,  SKIPS OR STICKS. THE RECORD HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR, FOR A VERY LONG TIME! 
THE ARTISTS, ALL HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES INCLUDE; CHARLES BROWN, GENE & EUNICE, THE FIVE KEYS, "PEPPERMINT" HARRIS,  LYNN HOPE, HELEN HUMES, AMOS MILBORN AND SHIRLEY & LEE.
THE THICK, DEEP GROOVE KING RECORD IS IN STUNNING CONDITION AND HAS ALSO BEEN IN MY PRIVATE COLLECTION FOR 60 YEARS THIS WINTER. THERE ARE NO FEELABLE SCRATCHES, DEEP GROOVE LINES, WIDE SCUFFS OF EDGE CHIPS. THE SILVER LABELS  ARE IN WONDERFUL CONDITION, SHOWING FEW TINY SPINDLE MARKS.
THE THICK, VERY UNIQUE ALMOST 60 YEAR OLD ALBUM COVER LOOKS GREAT AND WILL MAKE A SUPERB DISPLAY IN THE MUSIC. I HAD TO DO A PARTIAL SEAM REPAIR DUE TO AGING OVER THE MANY YEARS. THERE IS NO DISCOLORATION, NO TEARS, WRITING OR WRINKLES, JUST A FEW SCUFFS. THE BACK IS CLEAN, GREAT PHOTOS AND MOST INFORMATIVE INFORMATION. YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE SALE, $1.49 PRICE PENNED IN, IN 1956.
I RARELY EVER PUT A RESERVE ON MY ALBUMS, HOWEVER, THIS ALBUM IS RARE AND VALUABLE, I WOULD NOT BE DOING THE RARE ALBUM JUSTICE OFFERING IT ANY OTHER WAY. I KNOW THIS REDUCES THE MARKET, HOWEVER THOSE WHO ARE SERIOUS ON EBAY, ARE AWARE OF MY COLLECTION AND REPUTATION, ESPECIALLY THOSE CLIENTS IN EUROPE, AUSTRALIA AND JAPAN. 
IT'S TIME TO FOR ME TO SHARE PART OF A COLLECTION THAT I HAVE ENJOYED FOR MANY YEARS. NOW IT'S YOUR TURN! 
THE SONGS INCLUDE: SIDE 1, I ONE SCOTCH ONE BOURBON ONE BEER (AMOS MILBURN), I'M GONE (SHIRELY & LEE), BLOW, LYNN BLOW (LYNN HOPE), I GOT LOADED ("PEPPERMINT" HARRIS, BE BABA LEBA (HELEN HUMES), MY SADDEST HOUR (THE FIVE KEYS).  
SIDE 2, BAD BAD WHISKEY (AMOS MILBURN), LET'S WALK (CHARLES BROWN), HE MAY BE YOUR MAN (HELEN HUMES), HEY LITTLE GIRL (RICHARD LEWIS), KO KO MO (GENE & EUNICE) THIS IS MY STORY (GENE & EUNICE).
FOR THE SERIOUS COLLECTOR LOOKING FOR ONE OF THE RAREST ALBUMS RECORDED DURING THE 50S A GREAT SOUNDING CLASSIC, THIS IS A MUST AND WILL ALSO MAKE A FINE GIFT FOR SOMEONE SPECIAL. 
BASED ON THE GOLDMINE GUIDE, THE ALBUM COVER IS GRADED VG+, THE QUALITY OF THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE VG++ AND THE RECORD A STRONG VG+. THERE IS A RESERVE
