by Willie Mae Thornton [oddly enough, she doesn't use her nickname "Big Mama" Thornton here]
with Johnny Otis and his band
 Houston, Texas: Peacock Records # 1681
Issued in 1957.
Uncommon original by highly influential r&b and blues performer. Her birth certificate shows she was born in Ariton Alabama but she always claimed to have been born in MONTGOMERY ALABAMA.
This record was bootlegged in England some years back and that bootleg reissue turns up on ebay a lot. I'm offering, however, the 1957 original (which shows the publisher's name on the labels). And an "advance promotional" edition of the original at that!
Record graded by actually listening to both sides with a mono record player. Using Spin Connection's grading policy for 45 rpm records, it would rate EXCELLENT on both sides - both aurally and visually. Both sides look really good with just the slightest rubbing. The labels show modest wear and rubbing (MY MAN CALLED ME shows almost none). I have been grading records and selling records successfully by mail since 1962. Record enclosed in contemporaneous BUT NOT ORIGINAL somewhat worn sleeve. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ (the fine print ... [sigh] ... but please read :-)

WE REGRET WE DON'T SHIP OUT OF USA; SORRY, BUT NO EXCEPTIONS. 

FREE shipping via corrugated board and plastic-protected 1st class mail parcel with additional protection given to the record via pieces of cardboard with a 7x7 inch square diecut out of the middle, keeping record snug and secure during shipment.

I have been selling and shipping rare records since 1961. I'm not sure if ANY OTHER RECORD DEALER on ebay can beat that record of longevity!

I ship AT LEAST twice a week (and OCCASIONALLY 3 times per week) so turnover time or handling time is 3 business days (Mon-Fri) max - often less than that.

PAYPAL IS THE MUCH PREFERRED METHOD OF PAYMENT. Thanks!

Please pay within 4 days. Delayed? Then email me - I'll try to work with you when necessary but it helps a lot when I have contact with you. If your payment is delayed, ebay is liable to send a dun or two. PLEASE NOTE THAT THOSE ARE COMING AUTOMATICALLY FROM EBAY AND NOT FROM ME. I typically send out just one reminder. 

PLACING A BID IS THE ETHICAL EQUIVALENT OF ACCEPTING THESE TERMS. PLEASE DON'T ASK TO ALTER THEM AFTERWARDS. In return, as our feedback clearly shows, we'll get your item(s) to you, as described, in a safe, timely manner. Thanks!

Want a "FIRST EDITION" of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD by Harper Lee?

Then please do yourself a favor and click on the icon above under seller information and read how to protect yourself and your bank account from misleading or misinformed (and occasionally even deceitful) descriptions of the so-called "first edition" or "true first edition" of that great Alabama novel.

Thinking of bidding on a copy of STARS FELL ON ALABAMA by Carl Carmer? That's another Alabama book about which ebayers are often misled or misinformed:

Do yourself a another favor and - again - click on the icon above under seller information and read how to protect yourself and your bank account from misleading or misinformed (and occasionally even deceitful) descriptions of the so-called "first edition" or "true first edition" of one of the best NON-FICTION books ever written about Alabama.
