COWBOY BOBBY / THE WESTPORT SWEETHEARTS - CAP GUN COWBOY / CRAZY DREAM [WESTPORT 135]
Label: Westport 135 Titles: "Cap Gun Cowboy" & "Crazy Dream'" Year: 1957
In 1955, Westport Records was established in Westwood, Missouri. The label's featured artists were the children of the company's founder Dave Ruf. In 1957, 11 year old Cowboy Bobby recorded this upbeat, pre-teen rockabilly single. The single incorporates the modern rockabilly song with lyrics relating to the antics of a boy cowboy. The flip side is a dreamy, honky tonk ballad by The Westport Sweethearts.
The label has no wear on either side. There is no writing, stickers or tears on the either side. The vinyl has minimal signs of playwear. The original Westport sleeve is included and in excellent condition. It provides a history of the label, as well as a photo of the group. You can listen to the actual record here.

*Please note - my turntable is a simple ION Profile LP simply for converting media. It is by no means a high end turntable and the sound quality will be MUCH better on a higher end turn table.
All records come with basic sleeves unless a factory or picture sleeve is indicated in the description. I do not use a grading system as I feel that everyone interprets it differently. For example, I see many records listed as being Near Mint, yet the label is torn or has writing on it. To me that is not near mint. I prefer to describe the record as best I can, post photos, and allow viewers to listen to the actual record as to determine for themselves how the record should be graded.
I ship using Media Mail at $3.00 and deliver the day of or after the payment is received. Please remember that shipping costs also include the cost of materials to ship the order. International shipping is available. The cost to ship this Internationally is $14.00. I will also combine shipping. I try to keep shipping costs as low as possible, however recent increases by USPS have affected what I charge to ship - and believe me, I am NOT happy about it.
I am happy to ship internationally, however I will not change the value of the record. There are many reasons for this. First, I enjoy selling records and do not want to jeopardize that. Second, I include a receipt with the order and if customs were to examine the package, they would see the difference. Third, if something were to happen to the item in shipping, I would refund the customers money, but then not be able to claim what was lost. Thanks you for understanding.
