Description
ARTIST: Bill Haley and the Comets. TITLE: Rock With Bill Haley and the Comets. NOTE: The vinyl appears roughed up, but it plays as cleanly as if it had no scratches at all. To look at the surfaces, you would expect hissing – there is very little, and it is scarcely audible; popping – on repeated listenings, I did not hear any pops; or skips – there are no skips. I suspect that anyone who has spent time with records from the 1950s can attest to the fact that the quality of (some of) the vinyl was extraordinary, and that clean-playing albums like this one are not unusual (if you can find the album in the first place). LABEL: ESSEX ESLP-202 (orange label w. black lettering; ESSEX logo at top). RELEASE DATE: 1954. CONTENTS: SIDE 1: Rock the Joint, Rockin’ Chair on the Moon, Farewell – So Long – Good-bye, Real Rock Drive, Fractured, Stop Beatin’ Around the Mulberry Bush . SIDE 2: Crazy Man Crazy, Pat-a-Cake, Live It Up, Watcha Gonna Do, I’ll Be True To You, Dance With a Dolly (With a Hole in Her Stockin’). RECORD GRADE (PLAY GRADED): VERY GOOD. JACKET GRADE: VERY GOOD. The front cover is virtually pristine and with incredible high gloss. The back cover is also terrific. The flaws are the 2” splits in each of the three seams, but at least no tape has been used in an effort to seal the splits. SHIPPING & HANDLING: For shipping, the record will be protected by a polyurethane-lined sleeve. In addition, the album will be protected by a plastic cover and packaged with sturdy cardboard supports. If there is any question as to which of two grades to give a record, I will always assign the lower of the two grades. That is probably why so many customers over the years have remarked, after receiving a record, that its condition was “better than described.” Our standards for both grading and packaging have consistently earned the highest ratings from our customers. Buyer may pay $3.95 for Media Rate. If requested, priority shipping and handling within the U.S. will be determined by postal zone rates. International shipping and handling as applicable.
