Description
You are bidding on an EXCELLENT CONDITION Little Willie John 45 RPM KING 45-5342 A Cottage For Sale / I'm Shakin'. Plays and Looks NEAR MINT. BEAUTIFUL GLOSS. (K-45-10574-2 & K-45-10575-1 appear to be Machine Etched or Block Etched in the Dead Wax), has very few light superficial surface marks that do not affect the play.
* I have collected many 45’s for most of my life. I have had most since the late 50’s thru early-mid 60’s. My collection includes thousands of 45 rpm records, many in which are Excellent to Near Mint Minus Condition. I recently turned 79 years old and my son has convinced me to start selling and start traveling. When I purchased or acquired them back then, I truly believe most were original pressings. I have kept excellent care of them. Please look at the pictures for details. You can see how well kept the vinyl and labels are for being over 60 years old. I am not trying to fool anyone, I am not a Vinyl Expert. I describe the 45 to the best of my ability based on Price Guide grading and start the bidding at 25% of the book value indicated for EX to NM- 45’s.
Many are machine stamped and many are etched which are originals. I learned that not all record companies used a machine stamp back in the day. Many were etched as well and this is a big issue I have heard about from eBayers. However, you can check with Wikipedia and many others Professional Vinyl Guides and Info that will tell you the same. I have many Absolute Pure Originals from the 1st Pressing and they have Etched Numbers and some are Machine Stamped, just an FYI. I did notice many of the bigger Record Companies did have machine stamped records, while smaller companies did not. If you have any questions about the item please ask.
