THE ORIGINAL OWNER OBVIOUSLY HAD THE STORE BAG OFF AT SOME POINT IN ORDER TO PUT A SMALL PIECE OF CLEAR TAPE IN THE TOP CENTER UPON WHICH THEY WROTE THE NUMBER '37', NO DOUBT THEIR COLLECTION FILING SYSTEM. MY GUESS IS THAT THIS PIECE OF TAPE COULD MOST LIKELY BE REMOVED WITH HEAT. ON THE BACK ALONG THE OPEN SIDE IT SAYS IN THIN FOUNTAIN PEN "GOT 1956 JAYS' WHICH SUGGESTS THAT THIS ACTUALLY HIT THE SHOPS AT THE END OF 1956 DESPITE MOST DISCOGRAPHIES THAT DATE IT AS 1957. THE BACK IS SLIGHTLY AGE SPECKLED BUT THE SEAMS ARE GOOD. THE VERY TIP OF THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER IS VERY SLIGHTLY FEATHERED BUT THIS IS REALLY MINOR. THE FRONT COVER STILL GLISTENS, SO THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THIS BAGGIE IS THE ORIGINAL AND IT HAS ABSORBED ALMOST ALL THAT NATURE AND TIME HAS THROWN AT IT.
ALSO PRESENT - POSSIBLY AS RARE AS A CLEAN COPY OF THE RECORD! - THE ORIGINAL COLOR CAPITOL RECORDS CATALOG INNER SLEEVE PICTURING SUCH NOW-CLASSICS AS SINATRA'S "PAL JOEY", NAT KING COLE, TENNESSEE ERNIE FORD, "OKLAHOMA" AND SO MANY MORE. THIS INNER SLEEVE HAS A SHORT BOTTOM CENTER SEAM SPLIT AND IS PARTIALLY SPLIT ALONG ONE SIDE BUT STILL FLAT AND CLEAN AND BRIGHT.
THE LP IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, GLISTENING THICK SHINY VINYL WITH A FEW GHOST TRAILS AND PURELY SUPERFICIAL EVIDENCE OF PLAY. FROM THE ALMOST INVISIBLE MINISCULE FAINT SPINDLE TRAILS STRICTLY RIGHT AT & AROUND THE CENTER HOLE ONLY IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS LP HAS BEEN HANDLED CAREFULLY WELL CARED FOR. I DON'T WANT TO EXAGGERATE THE CONDITION OF THIS BUT IT IS REALLY A NICE COPY OF AN LP THAT USUALLY IS WHIPPED.
A TRUE AMERICAN ROCK 'N ROLL CLASSIC LP, RARE 1st PRESSING MONO CAPITOL ROCKER, STILL IN THE BAG!
OVERALL SOLID VG+ OR BETTER COVER IN THE BAG,
