Description
Adrian Kimberly (aka Don Everly)
Draggin' Dragon / When You Wish Upon a Star (1962) Calliope 6504
Condition : NM- to VG++ (w/original company sleeve in NM- condition)
A very rare Everly Brothers novelty. Adrian Kimberly was Don Everly's alias which he used to make several big-band style recordings in 1962-1963. They were all commercial flops and the Calliope label was discontinued shortly thereafter. To my knowledge, none of the songs he recorded under the Adrian Kimberly name have been reissued, making this a very valuable record for Everly Brothers completists. Comes with extraordinarily rare original company sleeve.
This is one of the nearly 100 Everly Brothers records I am currently selling on ebay, including an ultra rare red label copy of their first ever release on Columbia from 1956. I have collected them over the course of the past 20 years and now it's time to let part of my collection go. All of them are original 1st pressings and most of them are very rare. If you're looking for a specific title or want to bid on several and have an instant collection, please look at my other auctions. Thank you.

GRADING - all my grading is done visually unless stated otherwise. I have been told I am a very strict grader. I simply grade my records the way I would want a seller to grade them if I were the buyer.
Mint : new/unplayed
NM : the highest grade for a used record. Should be virtually indistinguishable from an unplayed record with only one or two very minor signs of use (if any).
NM- : a small step down from NM. Any signs of use will still be minor (a few light surface marks, for example), but will be more noticeable than on a NM record.
VG++ : the same as EX on the European grading scale. Very clean and respectable condition. Usually a few minor flaws, but no real damage (i.e. - deep or feelable scratches). My VG++ is equivalent to what I've seen many sellers call NM.
VG+ : still a respectable condition, but signs of use and wear are more pronounced. On a record, this usually means more areas that have light surface marks or a few light scuffs, but the record won't be covered in them and there should be no deep scratches or gouges.
VG : obvious play wear will be present. Most likely the record will have many fine surface marks and scuffs and possibly a few feelable scratches, but nothing that looks like it would cause a skip.
VG- : moderate to heavy play wear. Many light scratches and scuffs and probably several more noticeable deeper scratches.
G : often, records in this condition are referred to as "collection fillers" and are kept until a better condition replacement copy can be found. Pretty well beat from a strict collector's standpoint, but will still be in one piece and should still play.
