💿 Description

This is the original private pressing issued directly by The 90th Floor Record Company, the label owned by Dick and Kiz Harp and based in their Dallas nightclub of the same name. Unlike the later Republic Records release, this edition features a completely different set of songs — intimate, witty, and often original pieces performed before a small live audience.

Signed by both artists, this copy represents one of the few surviving artifacts of Dallas’s mid-century jazz scene, where the Harps’ sophisticated cool-jazz and cabaret blend made The 90th Floor a local legend.

⚠️ FOR ALL COLLECTORS — PLEASE READ THIS PART

I’ve been in this hobby long enough to know that Beatles collectors and collectors of other artists come in two very different flavors.

Type 1: The True Fans and Historians.
They appreciate an honest description, enjoy the music, and understand that a record or magazine from the past is a living piece of history. You’re the reason I enjoy listing Beatles AND other material — thank you for being fair and respectful.

Type 2: The Microscopic Inspectors.
You know the type: the buyer who studies the dead wax under a magnifying glass, debates font spacing on the Apple label, or declares that a record graded “VG+” should have been “EX minus” because of a hairline mark visible only under direct halogen light. These are also the ones who contact sellers afterward asking for a “small partial refund” because of something they overlooked in the photos.

If that’s you — this listing is not for you, do not bid. 

My grading is visual and honest, not laboratory-grade.
My photos show what you’ll receive — no tricks, no hidden damage.
But if you’re chasing mint perfection on a half-century-old record or a 20 year old magazine or an old tape, or if you plan to run a microscopic audit when it arrives, please skip this listing and do not bid.

All sales are final, and I do not negotiate after the fact. The time to ask questions is before bidding, not after delivery.

🧠 WHY I’M BEING THIS DIRECT

Beatles items and those from other artists attract some of the most passionate — and yes, sometimes the most difficult — buyers in the collecting world. Many are wonderful. A few are not.
Experience has taught me to make expectations clear up front:

• Grading is subjective.
• These are vintage items, not modern reissues.
• Light wear, surface marks, or sleeve aging are normal and often visible in the photos.

If you value honesty over perfection, you’ll be happy here.

🕊️ FINAL WORD

Thank you for reading the full description — and for respecting the difference between collecting with appreciation and collecting with a magnifying glass.

As Ringo would say, Peace and Love Baby, Peace and Love.
