Rambling Red Foley- Acc. by Cumberland Ridge Runners- The Lone Cowboy / Single Life Is Good Enough For Me, released by the Melotone label (M 12718) (C 535/8) in 1933.  Made in the U.S.  Original Pressing!- (see photos).

*Now here's something you don't see every day!  You're looking at the absolute first record released by Country legend Red Foley!  This was back when he was known as Rambling Red Foley and played with the Cumberland Ridge Runners.  This is truly something special, an original pressing from 1933, marking the birth of a revered career in Country music!  Wonderful!*

The Record is visually-graded in VG+ condition.  When looked at under a very bright light, the record shows a very rich luster and a few, very light surface marks, nothing major whatsoever.  This should play absolutely wonderfully, with only an extremely limited amount of surface noise heard, if at all!

The Labels are in very good shape, just showing some incredibly minor general & spindle wear (see photos).

Please excuse the glare in some of my photographs.

All of my 78's come with generic sleeves, unless otherwise stated.

I consider my condition grading to be very conservative, and I strive to be very accurate.  See my full guarantee below!

My shipping rates reflect the actual cost I pay at the post office (i.e. $3.16 media + .80 for delivery confirmation= $3.96).  I don't charge any extra fees for material or handling.  I go to the post office multiple times a week.   Your item will be shipped quickly.

Combined Shipping within the U.S. is $0.50 for each additional 78 you purchase.

Combined Shipping for International customers is $4.00 for each additional 78 you purchase. Please keep in mind that once you reach 4 pounds (roughly 5 78's+), 1st Class International is no longer a shipping option, and you must ship Express, which is very expensive.
