Description
Not only is it signed, it's signed twice, and the record itself is fairly high grade as well. The playing surface grades about E-, really nice and glossy still, on the side with the song "That Feeling in the Moonlight", it has a personalized signature that reads something like "To Arthur Falcone, most sincerely Gene Krupa." Not exactly sure what the first name is exactly, but my best guess is Arthur Falcone it seems. Then on the other side with the song "I Don't Want to be Loved" it has another signature and just says "Gene Krupa" with no message. These are not sigs that some fanboy hunted down later on in his life (he passed away in 1973 I think), these are actual WWII era signatures, you can tell by the look of the ink, they almost have a similar patina to them like the label. Mega rare autograph on a tough to find record in and of itself, has the original Columbia sleeve on it still too in nice shape as well. Looks like the fan got the autograph and preserved it perfectly.
