Description
Original IMPERIAL #5316, blues/RnB 45 rpm record featuring Smiley Lewis performing "Ooh La La" and "Too Many Drivers". The record is in great shape and has been very well-preserved, making it a great addition to any music lover's collection. An original red script Imperial from 1954 in near mint (NM or M-)! It’s a must have at this price. The matrix # is 45-IM-771. I offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee or your money back. Mint condition 1950’s records are becoming very difficult to find. My father’s 45’s and 78’s were almost all mint and once they gone they are gone for good. Thanks for looking and check out my other listings.

If you use Popsike etc for reference make sure you read the listings for condition, zoom in on the record for visual condition and view the history. The latest one that sold does not necessarily the bar. There is a night and day difference between VG- and M-!!
I ship worldwide via USPS First Class International and USPS Priority flat rate within the US. Due to the high number of theft and loss the tracking numbers provided with these services are crucial. I recommend insurance as I cannot be responsible for lost or damaged records. That said I pack all records professionally in Boxes Unlimited 78 and 45 specific boxes with a padding process I upgraded from just traditional cardboard squares alone. I will combine records at no further charge but will not put more than two 78’s or four 45’s per box. I have never had a record damaged in transit and have shipped the most fragile 45’s and 78’s all over the globe. If you require full insurance please contact me for final shipping fee. Thank you for visiting Monroe Rare Records and don’t forget to check out my other listings.
NOTE: INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING IS ENFORCING NEW RULES MAKING IT MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT TO SHIP TO CERTAIN COUNTRIES. I AM USING THE EBAY INTERNATIONAL HUB NOW. MAY TAKE A BIT LONGER BUT ITS LESS EXPENSIVE AND ALL THE CUSTOMS ARE DONE THROUGH EBAY.
IF FOR ANY REASON YOU ARE UNSATISFIED WITH YOUR PURCHASE, PLEASE CONTACT ME AND I WILL MAKE IT RIGHT. THAT IS MY 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE!
45 RPM GRADING-
NM : Near perfect, no visible signs of handling. Highly desirable and very hard to find.
M- : May have few barely visible imperfections, very, very light marks (e.g. sleeve scuffs) but play perfectly as the record did when nearly new. An extremely desirable condition.
EX or VG++ which eBay doesn’t have: May have light marks and scuffs, no scratches felt by touch or minor label imperfections. A very acceptable collector record.
VG+ : The record will display a number of light scuffs and/or some label wear. Still plays very well.
VG : Scuffs all around and or label wear. A few scratches but plays all the way through w/o skip
VG- : A few marks of which can be felt with a fingernail and/or heavy label wear, hiss and pops
