Description
**********NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING; TOO MANY 'LOST' OR 'MISSING' PACKAGES WITH ZERO RECOURSE!**********
In my continuing quest to bring you fine vinyl, I'm happy to offer the record(s) listed above. (and of course, as usual, please check out my other listings to find things that you may need).
Well, I'm sure I'll catch grief for posting this; I don't like selling prized possessions, but there have been more than a few issues with cashflow and bills not equaling up, so (to quote one of The Fremen in Dune) "Hard tasks need hard ways".
Be that as it may...I believe that this is THE top MF rarity to collect. Very few of these exist; I do know the actual number of times that this record was found in the wild, but due to various and sundry moral obligations, I cannot divulge the exact number. Suffice it to say, it's damn rare.
Recorded somewhere between June 1 and 19, '61. First known publication post-record date 10/14/61. Roulette put out 10 RJB releases (1-10 inclusive) for this series. Documentation also exists in at least 3 places stating that this record was never released, which, per the pictures you see here and online sleuth-ability, proves to be incorrect.
Side A: Her Face. Easy VG+. Slight concentric circle of dirt parallel to spindle hole. Groovewear is very tight and compact, I would venture that this was played slightly, if at all. Will require a careful cleaning to remove residue on playing surface. A couple of hairlines in intro wax. One concave small pressing bubble in outro wax.
Side B: Bluebird - Land (also sometimes referenced as "Blue Birdland"). Also VG+; maybe a skosh higher. Groovewear, again...tight and compact; most likely played sparingly, if ever. Will also require the same careful cleaning, and I'm willing to bet that you'll gain half a grade after the disc is shiny under your expert ministrations.
Ephemera/various: Due to scarcity of disc, I will completely cover the cost of shipping and insurance if the item sells at the Buy It Now price. The cost might look daunting, but it is in line with the sold values of this disc over the last 7 years.
As with all records, a careful dusting/cleaning may be required for optimum playback.
FIVE DAY ONLY SALE.
Please see and examine pictures, as they are part of the listing. If you would like additional pics, just let me know!
NOTE: Due to the pandemic, there are mail delays all over the US. Please allow for some extra time for shipments to arrive.
It is preferable that payment be made ASAP, however, due to various circumstances, I'm allowing up to three days for payment to be made. Anything after that, and an unpaid item case automatically opens. If you don't plan on paying, then don't bid.
Shipping:
I'm happy to combine shipping for orders!
No matter how many 45's you purchase (in the lower 48 of the US), the shipping cost will never go over the current Media Mail rate (currently $3.11).
I ship all of my (soon to be your) items as such:
1. Paper sleeve (will match company of the record if available), poly outer sleeve. 2. Cardboard stiffeners for added package strength (in case of shipping delays for supplies, I will use 2 records for intra-US shipments). 3. A stiffener is placed under the record, then the next one is turned at 90° with the record in between. 4. Specialized mailing boxes are exclusively used for mailing 45rpm records (or LP's).
If you are getting more than one record from me, please wait until I send you an invoice.
Any questions? Please feel free to contact me. I've an open-door policy! :) I WILL happily process returns if the item arrives damaged, or is significantly different than advertised. I will NOT process refunds due to buyer's remorse, I'm sorry to say.
PayPal ONLY. See my feedback and bid with confidence!
