HERE IS A RARE 1962 MONO LP:RUTH BROWN: "ALONG COMES RUTH".

THIS GREAT AMERICAN SINGER NEVER HAD ANY HITS IN THE UK WITH VERY LITTLE ATTENTION OR SALES FOR THIS LP WHICH WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE AND AS YOU WILL SEE FROM THE PHOTOS THERE IS A "SAMPLE RECORD-NOT FOR SALE"STICKER ON ONE OF THE LABELS DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVER COPIES MADE IN ADVANCE OF ISSUE FOR DJs,REVIEWERS OR IMPORTANT MANAGEMENT AT THE RECORD COMPANY-IN 1962 ONLY ABOUT 100 COPIES WOULD BE MADE LIKE THIS AT THE MOST! HARDLY ANY SURVIVE ESPECIALLY LIKE THIS OUTSTANDING COPY WHICH HAS CLEARLY ONLY HAD A COUPLE OF PLAYS IN JUST OVER 50 YEARS! WOW! WHAT A FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY TO BID FOR ONE OF THE RAREST EVER LPs TO BE ISSUED IN THE 1960s ON THE PHILIPS LABEL! 652 012 BL WITH THE ROUGH TEXTURED LABELS AND THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1L/2L MATRIXES.THE RECORD ITSELF HAS JUST A FEW ULTRA TINY AND FAINT SURFACE MARKS ONLY VISIBLE UNDER A STRONG LIGHT,GLEAMING SURFACES-VERY QUIET SURFACES-NO CLICKS-NO STICKS-NO JUMPS-JUST ABOUT THE BEST COPY YOU COULD EVER WISH TO FIND! THE LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER HAS A FEW MINOR CORNER CREASES BUT NO RIPS OR REPAIRS. THERE IS A TINY "1962" IN BIRO PEN AT THE BACK BUT NO OTHER WRITING-PLEASE SEE ALL OF THE PHOTOS!                

A  REALISTIC £30 STARTING PRICE AND NO RESERVE! POSTAGE:£4 RECORDED DELIVERY TO THE UK   EUROPE  £6 REST OF THE WORLD £9 

FROM A VERY CAREFUL COLLECTOR WHO BOUGHT FROM NEW AND AS OFTEN THE CASE WITH LARGE COLLECTIONS-THE MAJORITY OF THE DISCS HAD A COUPLE OF PLAYS AT THE VERY MOST AND THEN FILED AWAY ON SHELVES AWAY FROM LIGHT AND HEAT FOR YEARS!

YOU'LL PROBABLY NEVER FIND A BETTER COPY!

SO CLOSE TO MINT! A TERM I NEVER USE AS IT DOES NOT EXIST EXCEPT FOR SEALED LPs! 

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many ROCK AND ROLL/R&B MUSIC collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

SHARP,CLEAN LABELS!   

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
