Description
BUNNY PAUL with THE HARPTONES
I'LL NEVER TELL
HONEY LOVE
Essex 364
GRADE: VG++
DESCRIPTION: Back in 1954 when this record was made, Bunny Paul, a female singing star, was the main attraction of this record. She is headlined on the label, giving second billing to the Harptones. How times have changed! This is now a rare Harptones disk. The B side is now considered the A side, solely because I'll Never Tell is a ballad and shows off the Harptones' great style despite Ms. Paul's voice having the leading edge. It's a great song, and the group, along with (ahem!) the voice of Ms. Paul, come up with an excellent recording! The A side was really Honey Love, and this record was released at the same time the Drifters released their famous hit. Of course, it was a no-match affair since Ms. Paul competed as lead of the Harptones with Clyde McPhatter's honey voice as lead for the Drifters. Nevertheless, Bunny Paul and the Harptones do a bang-up job with Honey Love--enough so that this record is today a hard-to-get collector's item! You won't find another copy of this disk in as beautiful condition--if you find it at all. Buy now!
CONDITION: The record has a very minor sleeve scuff on one side and a light juke box scuff on the inner blank surface of the other side. The disk has practically all of its luster despite the record being stored for 30+ years. Looks very close to new and plays absolutely perfect! Great disk!
THE LAST STRAW: I can’t believe this FANTASTIC and RARE record didn’t sell last week! It's one of the Harptones' scarcest records, and lists for up to $200. Well, I guess there’s only one remedy for that. For one week only, I'm lowering the price--but for one week only, so you'd better bid now! CHECK IT OUT!

Failure to comply with or answer seller's e-mails will result in negative feedback and notification of non-paying bidder to mediation. Winning bidder pays all shipping/handling charges. I pack very carefully, but I DO NOT GUARANTEE LOSS OR DAMAGE IF PACKAGE IS UNINSURED AND I WILL NOT REFUND MONEY TO A CUSTOMER WHO HAS LOST OR DAMAGED UNINSURED MERCHANDISE (unless the damage can be proved to be my, the seller's fault). Fees Reasonable handling fees are charged according to the size of the package. I buy new packing material and must defray some of these expenses by charging a minimal extra fee. I do not rip off customers by tacking on unnecessary charges to the shipping costs. Shipping I ship to every country in the world. In the U.S.: I ship 45s by USPS 1st class shipping. However, if requested, I will ship 45s via priority mail. I require that 78s be shipped by USPS priority mail; however, there are cases where a buyer prefers some other type of shipping, i.e., media rate, and I will oblige with the one requirement that he/she purchase insurance. Out of the U.S.: All records are shipped via airmail. Delivery I ship within three days of receiving payment--often sooner. I ship twice a week--more frequently depending on the volume of sales for that week. Refunds & Returns Refunds are given if buyer feels my description is misleading. If a record is discovered to be, for instance, a second pressing instead of a first as advertised, I will refund the money. If I have graded a record higher than it actually is, that is reason for a refund. I will not refund payment if the buyer has found another record at a lower price than the one I sold him/her; or if the buyer changes his/her mind for about buying the record for no good reason. Buyer has 7 days after record has been shipped to request a refund. Items should be returned in the packing carton and material they were shipped in.
