Description
Offered for Auction with NO RESERVE!
Very rare copy of the December 1954 release on Columbia Records(SCM5168) of ‘Mr Sandman’ by The Chordettes.
PLEASE READ THIS ADVERT VERY CAREFULLY.
Despite appearances and how it sounds, this record has damage on the ‘run out’ section, adjacent to the label (more obvious on the B side), although it plays very well.
There is a crack in the vinyl adjacent to the label in the ‘run out’ section of the record. It does not reach the playing grooves.
I know that pristine copies of this record have sold for up to £175. This is obviously not in that league, but still a nice record to own.
The Auction starts at just 99p.
PLEASE BID WHAT YOU THINK IT IS WORTH AND IT WILL GO TO THE HIGHESTBIDDER (even if that is just a 99p bid!)

The Chordettes were a female popular singing quartet, usually singing a cappella, and specializing in traditional popular music. The Chordettes were one of the longest lived vocal groups with beginnings in the mainstream pop and vocal harmonies of the 1940s and early 1950s.
Although the arrangements owed more to The Andrews Sisters than doo-wop,they did, unlike many of their peers, prove fairly adaptable to the rock and roll era. First establishing themselves with the huge hit record, "Mr.Sandman" in 1954, they continued to chart in the last half of the 1950s and the early 1960s, often with cover versions of rock and R&B songs. TheirNo. 2 1958 success "Lollipop" was the biggest of these.
The group was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2001
