Description
WELCOME TO MY 2015 CHRISTMAS AUCTION RHYTHM & BLUES AND ROCK & ROLL CHANGED THE WORLD'S MUSIC CULTURE FOREVER, AND BEING A TEENAGER DURING THE EARLY 50s, I WAS PART OF THE REVOLUTION. WOW! HOW SWEET IT WAS, AND STILL IS.
MY COLLECTION BEGAN IN 1951 AND HAS NEVER REALLY STOPPED. MY BELOVED WIFE (JOANIE), OF 54 YEARS, JUST RECENTLY PASSED AWAY AND AS A RESULT, I HAVE NO ONE TO LEAVE MY COLLECTION TO.
MANY OF THE ALBUMS I WILL BE LISTING, I PERSONALLY SAW WHEN THE GROUPS CAME TO THE SEATTLE/TACOMA AREA TO PERFORM. MY PERSONAL FAVORITE AND IN MY OPINION, THE GREATEST OF THEM ALL, WAS HANK BALLARD AND THE MIDNIGHTERS, AN EARLY 50s RHYTHM & BLUES GROUP. I SAW THEM PERFORM AT THE BLUE NOTE BALL ROOM IN TACOMA, WASHINGTON IN 1956, AND AFTER THE CONCERT, HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF PERSONALLY MEETING HANK BALLARD.
1. MY RECORDS ARE PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED AND DRIED WITH A MICROFIBRE CLOTH.
2. RECORDS ARE INSPECTED UNDER A STRONG LIGHT.
3. WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS, MY ALBUMS WILL BE ORIGINAL PRESSINGS.
4. RECORDS WILL BE PLAYED PRIOR TO LISTING.
5. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE ALBUMS YOU ARE BIDDING FOR, WILL HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF INVESTMENT VALUE IF YOU ARE A COLLECTOR. KEEP IN MIND THAT MANY OF THE COMPANIES THAT MANUFACTURED THESE RARE AND WONDERFUL ALBUMS, WERE OUT OF BUSINESS BEFORE 1970.
MY PROMISE TO YOU, AN OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE RARE, HARD TO FIND 50s & 60s RHYTHM & BLUES AND ROCK & ROLL ALBUMS THAT HAVE BEEN TAKE CARE OF. MY ALBUMS OVER THE YEARS WERE PURCHASED IN RECORD STORES, PRIVATE COLLECTIONS OR FRIENDS. I DO NOT GO TO GARAGE SALES OR THRIFT STORES.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU, I SINCERELY HOPE YOU FIND THAT RARE ALBUM FROM MY AUCTIONS. YOUR WINNING BIDS WILL CERTAINLY INCREASE IN VALE AND AT THE SAME TIME, YOU'LL ENJOY THE MUSIC THAT CHANGED THE MUSIC CULTURE FOREVER. THE FABULOUS 50s & 60s. THANK YOU!
