Description
UP FOR AUCTION IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE RAREST RECORDS THAT I HAVE EVER OWNED. IT IS JIM DANDY c/w TRA LA LA BY R&B LEGEND, LAVERN BAKER, BACKED BY THE GLIDERS. IT IS ON THE UK COLUMBIA RECORD LABEL. PURPLE COLOUR LABEL WITH GOLD LETTERING. LABEL STATES LAVERN BAKER AND THE GLIDERS WITH ORCHESTRA. DATING FROM 1957 AND NUMBERED 45-DB 3879. THE NUMBER HAS ATLANTIC RECORDINGS PRINTED IN BRACKETS UNDERNEATH. THE ONLY OTHER TWO I'VE EVER SEEN DO NOT. ATLANTIC HAD LITTLE TO DO WITH EMI ( COLUMBIA) IN THIS COUNTRY MAKING THIS EVEN MORE OF A RARITY. BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THAT THIS IS A SCARCE ONE. BUT NOW FOR THE SAD NEWS.
THE VINYL IS MARKED WITH VERY MANY BLEMISHES. NO GOUGES OR DEEP SCRATCHES BUT I CANNOT GRADE IT BETTER THAN GOOD+. I HAVE NEVER PLAYED THIS RECORD SO ALL CHECKS ARE VISUAL. THE A SIDE LABEL IS TRULY STUNNING AND THERE IS A LITTLE WRITING ON THE B SIDE LABEL. PLEASE SEE THE SCANS PROVIDED. I WILL GLADLY PROVIDE MORE SHOULD YOU WISH.
PEOPLE WHO HAVE BOUGHT OFF ME IN THE PAST WILL KNOW THAT I PRIDE MYSELF ON THE GREAT CONDITION OF ITEMS I HAVE COLLECTED OVER THE YEARS. I BOUGHT THIS ONE BECAUSE I HAD NEVER SEEN ONE BEFORE AND "MAYBE I COULD UPGRADE" SOMEDAY. THE OTHERS I'VE SEEN WERE FAR TOO LOVED BY THEIR OWNERS FOR ME TO HAVE OFF THEM
SO THERE WE ARE, A LOW STARTING PRICE WITH NO RESERVE FOR A RECORD THAT REALLY DOES ONLY COME UP RARELY. GOOD LUCK
ALL ITEMS SENT OUT ON SATURDAY MORNING BY RECORDED DELIVERY.
I AM A COLLECTOR NOT A DEALER AS EBAY HAVE ME CALL MYSELF. THESE ITEMS NO LONGER FIT IN WITH MY COLLECTING AND I AM SELLING TO FUND ANOTHER COLLECTION.
