Description
This is the RARE ORIGINAL 1959 COLUMBIA RECORDS U.S. 7" 45 RPM RECORDS IN ITS ORIGINAL PICTURE SLEEVE containing the Christmas holiday tune titled 'They Shined Up Rudolph's Nose' backed with 'The Electrified Donkey' from 1950s country star Johnny Horton. It is Columbia Records U.S. catalog number 4-41522, styrene pressing, packaged in its original picture sleeve.
Apparently this 45 is SUPER RARE due to having been pulled from the market due to a copyright conflict between Columbia Records and the song writer, and is especially rare to find with the picture sleeve, where most of the value of this piece resides.
Condition of picture sleeve is conservatively a high VG / low VG+ with a 1" split in one side edge and a small 3/4" tear coming down from the top edge on one side of the sleeve as can be seen in my accompanying image. Picture sleeve otherwise is in good shape with some very slight wrinkles and some wear right along the edges and on the corners. Condition of record is a real nice high VG++ with a very few very light and fine surface marks which cannot be felt and do not affect play and a couple of worn spots on the B-side label where a couple of small stickers have been removed. Record plays very loud and clear with no scratchiness or distortion. The asking price for this item has been determined through a survey of the few previously completed eBay sales of this item with picture sleeve on the Popsike site.
This RARE ITEM would be a choice addition to any Johnny Horton, Christmas, or country 45 or picture sleeve collection! $4.13 SHIPPING via USPS Media Mail. Shipping to areas outside the U.S. via eBay international shipping. BUYER PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH - IT PROBABLY WILL NOT GET HERE! I will give an immediate refund (less shipping) upon return of the 45 and picture sleeve in the above stated condition if buyer is dissatisfied for any reason.
