Welcome

PLEASE TAKE TIME TO CAREFULLY READ THE DESCRIPTIONS BEFORE BIDDING, THANK YOU!

Thank you for viewing my auctions. I sincerely appreciate the interest and kind comments made about me and my collection in the feedback section. It feels good to know that you share my passion regarding the 50's and 60's and the music that changed the world, forever. It was a blessing for me to be a teenager during the early 50's, listening, dancing and Bopping to the the best of the best.

Most of the albums you will be viewing are from my 50+ year old collection and are original issues. Sometimes I include albums given to me or purchased from friends or relatives. I do not go to swap meets, garage sales, or thrift stores. I do go to record conventions as time permits. You will be bidding for original issue, quality albums. Sometime I will list rare re-issues and the will be stated as (re) in the listing. I use Goldmine Standard Catalog as a grading guideline and tend to get somewhat conservative.

(Up to $50 $1.75) ($50.01 to $100 $2.25) ($100.01 to $200 $2.75) ($200.01 to $300 $4.70)

All records are played through prior to listing for accurate grading.

(NM or NM-) NM records are shiny with no visible defects such as writing, stickers or needle marks on the labels. The album cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or any signs of human handling. It also will have no ring wear.

(VG+ or Excellent) May show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK. The cover might be marred by a cutout marking, small hole punch, a cut in the spine or a promotional stamp and even a tiny bit of ring wear.

(VG) Have more obvious flaws such as lack of gloss, groove wear, light scratches and needle marks. When played there will be surface noise that will not over power the music overall. Noise in the passages, between songs is common. The cover may have minor seam splits, writing, tape, stickers, ring wear and scuffs.

(VG-) Is just a compounding of the VG category. Many obvious flaws but if the record is rare, may very well be worthwhile. I usually do not list records lower than the above grades.

Remember, when you are bidding, most of these records are usually 50+ years old and have been out of print for a very long time. When you consider that, damage, loss, and normal use or wear has reduced the market to the point that few of these wonderful treasures are even available today.

FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION; Purchased new and rarely played. It was well preserved and one of just four Earls Albums in my collection. You are bidding for a rare and beautiful first pressing of Remember Me Baby and recorded on the Old Town label LP-104 in High Fidelity. This is the Wedgewood Blue Blue Label with Black Print, valued for $500+ in the Goldmine Price Guide and this is one of them. The stamped numbers in the narrow deadwax area are OT LP-104 A on side one and OT LP-104 B on side two. Re-issued pressings had a wide deadwax area. The group included Larry Chance, Robert Del Din, Eddie Harder, Larry Palumbo and John Wray.

The thick album cover is in wonderful condition. There are no seam splits, discoloration, ring wear, tape, tears, writing or wrinkles, just a tiny mark. The liner notes in back are clean and no discoloration. The address on the back of the color reads, OLD TOWN RECORD CORP., 1697 BROADWAY, N.Y.C. N.Y. The thick, deep groove record is beautiful and the label are clean, few very light spindle marks. I inspected the rare record under a 100 watt light and there were no scratches or groove lines, just a few scuffs/paper cuts from removing the record from the sleeve and did not affect a near new listening experience. I played the record just prior to listing and there were no skips, sticks, loud pops or noisy hisses. Just like listening to a near listening experience. The songs include; Side 1, Remember Me Baby, Eyes, Out In The Cold Again, Life Is But A Dream, Cry Cry Cry, Our day Will Come. Side 2, Remember Then, Never, Amor, Looking My Way, Don't Forget, Kissin'. This is a beautiful, ultra rare and worthwhile collectible for anyone's collection and based on the Goldmine guide, the album cover is graded VG++, the quality of the listening experience NM and the record NM- There is no reserve.
