Description
UP FOR SALE IS A VERY RARE SET OF EARLY POP RECORDS…. FRANK SINATRA’S FIRST COMMERCIAL RECORDING WITH HARRY JAMES FROM 1939 “FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART” B/W “MELANCHOLY MOOD” AND BING CROSBY’S FIRST COMMERCIAL RECORDING WITH DON CLARK FROM 1926 “I’VE GOT THE GIRL” B/W “IDOLIZING”!
THERE IS NO DEBATE THAT BING CROSBY WAS THE FIRST MODERN “POP IDOL” WHO INFLUENCED A VERY YOUNG FRANK SINATRA TO TAKE HIS PLACE AS “THE VOICE” OF A GENERATION.
IT IS WIDELY ACCEPTED THAT SINATRA’S FIRST RECORD SOLD AROUND 8,000 COPIES WITH VERY FEW SURVIVING TO THIS DAY… ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION! THE LABELS ARE ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS AS PICTURED WITH HIGH GLOSS AND EXCELLENT EYE APPEAL. THE PLAYING SURFACE ON BOTH SIDES ARE A CONSERVATIVE VG AND SOUND GREAT! THE ORIGINAL (AND CORRECT) BRUNSWICK SLEEVE FROM 1939 DISPLAYS WELL WITH SOME WRITING AND TAPE REPAIRS THAT DO NOT DETRACT FROM THIS 85 YEAR OLD BEAUTY!
BING’S RECORD IS NOT IN AS GREAT OF CONDITION WITH MISCELLANEOUS WEAR ON THE LABELS AND PLAY SURFACES AS WELL AS A COUPLE HAIRLINE CRACKS AS PICTURED. FOR A 98 YEAR OLD RECORD, IT IS A TRUE “SURVIVOR” AND PIECE OF EARLY POP CULTURE HISTORY!
DUE TO THE FRAGILITY OF THESE RECORDS, I WILL BE PACKING AND SHIPPING OUT SEPARATELY WITH THEIR OWN TRACKING NUMBERS.
THESE RECORDS SELDOMLY COME UP FOR SALE AND NEVER AS A PAIR, GRAB THEM WHILE YOU CAN!
