WHY PAY $ 250 - Get my copy starting @ ONLY $ 29.99 !!
I am not offering this RARE LP for such a LOW price to expose the greed of other sellers of the same LP - but to offer you a classic rock LP for an affordable price.
Other than the fact that this Orig. release is RARE, this particular copy is EXTRA RARE in that it's presently the ONLY existing copy with BOTH the ORIG. PRICE Sticker & the STAMPED PAID day of sale - UNHEARD of for this RARE HISTORIC release.
The labels are RARE in this particular copy in that the text is more BOLD as in the LP numbers and the titles, UNLIKE other copies - see similar copies  for comparison.  
The ORIGINAL 1961 PRESSING on the BLACK CHESS Labe with SILVER print #CHESS LP-1456 IN HIGH FIDELITY. The word "SHELDON" IS INSCRIBED INTO THE DEAD WAX on BOTH sides which generally indicates an EARLY 1ST PRESSING!! Copies in higher grades can demand up to around $600. But why pay your mortgage payment on this vinyl when you can get it from me at the LOWEST price offered ANYWHERE?,,,and probably in better vinyl condition and sound - 
SOUND: I have test played this rock classic on a Technics phonograph with Sansui SP-Z77 speackers and TEAC AG-V8520 Receiver - I was astounded at how clear and clean it sounded - I could even hear the distant soft drumming in the background with no distractions. No constant background noise, and very minimal background hissing/crackling if any. I tried it on variable speaker settings of low, mid, and bass. and still such a clean sound - perhaps this is what separates this PARTICULAR copy (with the slightly different bold text) from the other copies that have irritating noises. 
Interestingly, Berry's #1 HIT from this release was "SWEET SIXTEEN" - that may be an embarrassing clue to what he got thrown in jail for 1 1/2 years - allegedly having sex with a 14 yr. old Apache girl whom he drove across state lines to work in his club as a hat girl, so as to keep near to him. This LP was released during the court cases. A lot was put into deciding the right image to put on album covers, and with declining sales because of the negative publicity from the court cases, a image with a REPENTANT pose - very sorrowful with head bowed down. A well chosen image that had relevance to the artist's career. 
Cover has the expected wear in the usual places of the corners and some of the edges, yet i don't see any seam splitting. only corner wear - the text on spine has held nicely, some creasing, etc. There is yellowing and browning, including much spotting or discoloration, mainly on back. The labels are nice looking - well preserved with some spindle marks. The vinyl has light wispy and faint marks, nothing that would appear to effect too noticeably the sound. HAs a generic inner sleeve. Has also the SHELTON A true CLASSIC during a time when this ROCK pioneer was going through tough legal drama, and his career was suffering. See pics for description as I posted many and with zoom.  
"In all the years I've been on Ebay, this seller is the best I've seen...5 stars!" that's recent feedback received on my Vinyl sale....to a 16 year veteran of Ebay! I appreciate all the good people out there. And I work hard to offer something RARE at an affordable good price. Additionally, I ship ASAP in protective packaging. I am not the best, but I try. THANKS!
New Juke Box Hits is a Chuck Berry album which was released in 1961 under Chess Records. This was Berry's fifth album under record label Chess Records. The album was recorded and later released while Berry was in the middle of certain legal difficulties that would see him put in jail the following year in 1962. This was not good for his publicity and hence it affected his record sales, and there were no hits on the album. The one single on the album was "I'm Talking About You" which was later recorded, with some commercial success, by the Rolling Stones.

Beware of sellers that post 1 or 2 photos only. This is a red flag and suggests 2 things: #1) the seller is trying to hide the real condition of the record by limiting photographic details. They also will further camouflage their item’s condition by not offering zoom features. #2) Many sellers limit their photos because they are not only trying to camouflage their item’s condition, but because they are Lazy. A lazy seller won’t go the extra mile in other aspects of his sale, as in shoddy packaging and they will drag their feet in shipping item out. Just as deceitful and lazy are the many sellers that provide only STOCK photos (not of actual item you will receive) tricking the bidder in thinking they are getting the impressive item pictured in the stock photo. 

You will be happy to know that I post MULTIPLE Photos to offer forthright representation of ACTUAL item, and with ZOOM features. I also package LP in cardboard Media Mailer and I ship ASAP, provided my cherished customer pays asap. You will also receive a hand-written thank you note, because I appreciate you and couldn’t survive without you. Thank you.

Had Chuck Berry been advertising for a beer or alcohol company he may have gotten off on the jail sentencing, but as it stood, he had little corporate support because if he wasn't making companies wealthy enough, he was not deserving of a reprieve, as is often the case in the entertainment business. Most stars today, sports or otherwise, can get away with "murder"....but only if they are making the corps rich enough. Specter wasn't so lucky, but it didn't hurt the corps with his jail time because the ruling corps already secured the royalties enough that the "cow" itself could be laid to rest, further encouraged by decking new work that the corps could live on. That's why there is such an epidemic for the so-called stars to steal pioneering artists work - they can win Grammies and awards and extreme financial wealth, and when the lawsuits come as in some of the recent Grammy winners, they are still applauded, because the corps are making their money, and their staff of lawyers can arrange settlements that still assert that "stealing pays." If you are making Sony money in a way that without you they'd lose, do you think you can do any wrong and not get away with it? Is there one case in history to assert otherwise?
