BOBBY TROUP
here's to my lady
Dedicated to his wife, Julie London

Actually, they were married in 1959.  The marriage was a love match and lasted
until Bobby's death in 1999.  Julie London died a few months later in 2000.
This rare 1958 album picture's both Bobby and Julie.
Bobby Troup was a west coast jazz singer and songwriter.
He is best known for his composition, "Route 66".
He penned many other compositions such as the raucous
"The Girl Can't Help It" for the movie starring Jayne Mansfield and sung by Little Richard.
He wrote many songs for Julie including, "Lonely Girl" which was the title of one of her best selling albums.

The cover has survived well
but has a short top seam split
The vinyl has been thoroughly play tested using a dedicated mono cartridge
VG++
Excellent Play
Nothing lost in the quality of the sound reproduction in the 59 years since it was pressed.
Very little noise

BE WARY OF SIGHT GRADED RECORDS
 Rating vinyl by visual inspection is a flawed process. Many times it results in an inflated grade.
Almost all records sold on ebay are rated visually. While this is a useful process for obvious flaws, such as scratches and rubs, it fails to detect hidden sound problems such as skips, pops and crackle. Crackle sounds somewhat like the sound frying bacon makes while cooking. The only way to accurately rate record quality, simply put, is to play it. I am a low volume seller and take the time to thoroughly test the sound quality of records. All records up for sale are play tested. I strive for accurate description of sound quality. Any record with excessive background noise is rejected and not offered for sale.
All records are packaged in a commercial record mailer. Records are removed from the cover before packing to prevent seam splits during mailing. In the case of a single album, the record and cover are placed in a plastic sleeve. They are protected by the ample use of bubble wrap. If more than one album is won, the albums and records are tightly wrapped in cellophane to prevent shifting and are also protected by bubble wrap. The outside of the package is clearly stamped as 'FRAGILE' and 'DO NOT BEND'
You may return any album that does not play to your satisfaction. However, please email me with any problems you have in this regard before return. All albums must be returned in the time alloted and in the same condition and manner as they were shipped. This applies to individual Lps and lots. However, you may not split up lots for a partial refund. I will reimburse your purchase price and original mailing cost. Return mailing cost is the responsibility of the customer. I package records with great care and ship with delivery confirmation. I have shipped thousands of records without breakage or loss and the USPS does a great job with delivery
