Description

About This Record.  Oh yes,  Here up for auction is something I am SERIOUSLY going to miss! An original copy of the rarely seen very first original USA pressing of The Coasters first LP on Atco Records 33-101 on the original "Harp" Atco label.  Very very rare first pressing of this Doo Wop RnB LP in keeper condition as these things go.  If you like this genre, you need this! Absolutely, and a keeper copy of the vinyl, and the cover ain't so bad! Please see all my additional photos and details regarding condition of the cover and vinyl below.  The photos list the songs and any possible details about the labels. I've had four copies, and sold the other three long long ago, so will have to live with my reissue of this gem.

PLEASE Read my Feedback which says alot.  I offer full refund including shipping both ways (for USA buyers) in case for some wildly strange reason you might be unhappy with this purchase. 

Please note that I work for eBay and this link is to the Code I have to abide by as an eBay employee:  http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/everyone-employee.html I have no clue who works in the Collectibles Division and am not involved in any policy or other decisions that go on; I just happen to like vinyl and happen to work at eBay

Cover Condition. VG+ because of light but noticeable corner wear on the thick luscious super heavy original stock cover, the issues being slight furling / foxing along the opening edge, (where the laminated cover is chipeed or peeling back) and YIKES! there is a one inch seam split in the bottom seam (not the SUPER strong spine) from album miscare or something, but it was like that when I bought this for lots more than my asking price decades ago. STRONG spine and top seam, of course.  That is the worst problem about this LP, the tear in the bottom seam. 

Vinyl Condition.  Looks EX- to EX;  Plays same better, but a touch of background noise just here and there (a very rare feat for an Atco Harp LP from the USA!).  I just cleaned and played this on my Laluce Alba and it sounds great!  Keeper copy as these things go!

Matrix Numbers    Available upon request

Vinyl Weight.   Available upon request. 

Labels  light spindle marks and age wear on the super-important labels, but NO price tag sticker removal wear, writing, or anything like that which is a rare Feat for this LP please please see photos (it took me lots of time to take them)

About Me.  I have been a Record Collector for Decades.  I bought this many years ago during my travels and have kept it well-preserved in plastic sleeves and vinyl separated outside the cover.

Shipping and Payment.  PayPal only.  I ship promptly worldwide; sometimes the automatic eBay invoice does not have accurate shipping if you buy more than one LP, so if you are unsure email me and ask for an invoice. . . . I will ship by any method you want.  But if you do not pay for protecting your purchase by requesting insurance, or expensive International Priority Mail, then please understand the record will be shipped at your own risk and not mine.  I offer full refund on this record including shipping both ways, unless you live outside North America in which case I will refund you shipping one way unless I made a mistake which I sometimes do because I am only human..  CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS:  Please add sales tax!
