Description

For your consideration is a vintage and rare picture sleeve. It is by early teen idol pop/rock star Ricky Nelson, titled "Ricky". Verve hi-fi EPV 5048, (1957).

Here's a short bio for Ricky, courtesy of allmusic.com:

................."Nelson really hit his stride, though, with mid-tempo numbers and ballads that provided a more secure niche for his calm vocals and narrow range. From 1957 to 1962, he was about the highest-selling singer in the U.S. except for Elvis, making the Top 40 about 30 times. "Poor Little Fool" and "Lonesome Town" (1958) were early indications of his ballad style; in the early '60s, "Travelin' Man," "Young World," "Teen Age Idol," and other hits pointed to a more countrified, mature style as he honed in on his 21st birthday (by which time he would shorten his billing from "Ricky" to "Rick")."

The four titles on the cover are: A Teenager's Romance, I'm Walkin', You're My One And Only Love and Honey Rock.
