MARY WELLS BYE BYE BABY MOTOWN LP US 1ST PR '61~NM!

*THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION*

• This is the rare original first white label pressing of Mary Wells, "Bye Bye Baby-- I Don't Want to Take a Chance," on Motown 600 released in 1961. This was the only LP on the Motown Label that was released on this white label variation. It was also the first LP released on the Motown label.
• This LP was her best, and is a cornerstone piece for any Motown/Tamla/Gordy collector.
• Wells had a unique style that made her stand out on her label. She sounded more like a Stax or Atlantic artist.
• Super rare in brand new condition!

VINYL

• With full & very shiny gloss and great high fidelity, this LP grades NM with no play wear at all and will sound brand new. It has a couple of light and small surfcae blemishes that were on the vinyl when I broke the seal, which obviously do not affect play. Most 50's and 60's vinyl have some kind of minor cosmetic imperfections even when bought brand new, which makes the perfection of the Marvelettes Sing LP I have such an incredible rarity in perfect Mint condition, which is why experienced dealers/collectors rarely use the term "Mint" to describe a vinyl LP.

Welcome to Soultown, USA in the Land of No Reissues I buy and sell 60's R&B ORIGINAL vinyl only-- no reissues abide in my world.

I am also a fast payer and I expect sellers to ship to me in like manner!!

My Grading

VINYL:

Mint (M): Verifiably unplayed and unblemished. Only manufacturing marks accepted. Full gloss and shine and labels have no spindle trails or wear.

Near Mint (NM): Looks flawless. Maybe played a few times but no marks due to mishandling. Looks brand new and retains full gloss and shine. Labels have little to no spindle trails or wear.

Excellent (EX): A few light scuffs (but no scratches) that do not affect play at all and Labels may have a few spindle trails. Will play NM. Will still have full gloss.

Very Good Plus (VG+): A few light scuffs and/or scratches that are superficial and only minimally affect play. Labels may have light wear and a few spindle trails at hole and some minimal writing. A played but well (if not perfectly) cared for record. Vinyl still has most of its gloss and shine.

Very Good (VG): This means very good not half trashed!!! Record will have several light superficial scuffs and/or scratches and a few needle scratches some of which may be felt and heard, but record will play thru w/o skipping or sticking. Record may also have some minor groove wear, which will add to surface noise. Spindle holes can have several trails and moderate wear and writing on labels. Vinyl must retain some of its gloss and shine.

I normally do not sell items below VG, but when I do, I will give a thorough description in listing.

COVER:

M: An absolutely flawless cover often with shrink wrap!

NM: Cover may have only one or two minor flaws (slight corner ding, light ring or seam wear or slight age discoloration) that one would have to strain to see, but looks nearly flawless. No writing, tape or splitting whatsoever!!

EX: Almost NM! Slightly more seam or ring wear. Still no writing, tape or splitting!

VG+: Same as EX, but instead of one or two, three or four flaws which may include minor writing and some splitting.

VG: Seams may be completely split and taped and there may be moderate age discoloration along with all the possible flaws of VG+. Also, there may be writing as well.

Again, I am a good and conservative grader, so bid with confidence. Check out my feedback.
