This is one of the rarest and hardest-to-find items in Phil Spector's catalog, already overloaded to bursting point with rarities, misprints and curiosities of all kinds. What I have here is the original American version of the album (British 70s reissues are fairly common). Needless to say, the album, issued in 1963, has been unavailable in any way, manner or form in more than four decades, apparently waiting for uncle Phil to finally give up and permit ABKCO or some other label to reissue the album in a decent form.  Well, shoot me if you will (NO, NOT YOU, PHIL), but, in my view, the gentle combination of early 60's pop and light touches of R&B, gospel and folk here and there (two girls singing with Bob B. Soxx have beautiful and very soulful voices) aged with infinite grace. The wall of sound - a production method patented by Phil Spector,  which involved – among other things - torturing artists for maximum effect (just ask Tina Turner whose bra fell apart during the recording of "River Deep, Mountain High") does not get any more vivid or palpable than here. This is a proverbial fortress of sound, consisting of multitude of overlapping layers of voices, sound effects, cascades of rhythm and ornamentation. A joyful, luscious, retrogressive, a*al-retentive, listening experience, in original BACK-TO-MONO format. Phil Spector is king!!! Track listing: Not too young to get married - Why do lovers break each others' hearts - Let the good times roll - My heart beat a little faster - Baby (I love you) - Zip-a-dee-doo-dah - The white cliffs of Dover - This land is your land - Dear (hear comes my baby) - I shook the world - Everything's gonna be alright

The PROMOTIONAL, RADIO STATION-, AUDITION OR DEMONSTRATION COPIES AND RELEASES (such as the one we have here) were often distributed among the radio stations before the record was released to the public, sometimes as much as four months ahead. These records are generally considered to be the "first among equals", which is to say the VERY FIRST generation and the VERY FIRST pressings of the particular title; a PROTOTYPE and the earliest known official pressing of the record.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG VG++. A few light abrasions  ARE VISIBLE, but they appear fairly  insignificant relative to the overall condition of the vinyl, and are only moderately visually distracting. For most part, the vinyl looks impeccable, without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The record has a "deep groove" (an indent in the label about 1/2-inch from the edge of the label, which on SOME labels is associated with very early or first pressings).

(c)           The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(d)          White Promo Label version of this title is much rarer that a regular, commercially released, version of this title. We estimate that stock copies of this album outnumber promo copies by a ratio of at least 50:1.

(e)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

(f)            Stereo copies of this album are NOT known to exist.

(g)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER

THE COVER IS ABOUT VERY GOOD+(+)

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        Cover has a partially split top seam (between 2 and 4 inches  / 5 to 10 centimeters); This split seam was delicately taped by the previous owner with a piece of transparent scotch tape

-        Cover has a partially split bottom seam (between 4 and 6 inches  / 10 to 15 centimeters); This split seam was delicately taped by the previous owner with a piece of transparent scotch tape

-        Cover has a partially split spine (between 1 and 2 inches  / 2.5 to 5 centimeters)

-        Cover has a visible "wrinkle"(crease)  in one of the corners and two smaller wrinkles in two other corners

-        Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 2   (front side) and 4 (back side)

-        Back cover has circular tarnish (grayish, dust-covered sections, which closely follow the contour of the record),  probably caused by friction or by rubbing against other covers during the storage. The tarnish is similar in appearance to a common ring wear, but, UNLIKE ring wear, these grayish areas may be possible to clean up with a minor effort and with a right cleansing solution.

-        Back cover has a few yellowish dust speckles scattered here and there (covering about 60% of the panel's surface)

-        Cover shows some yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging.

-        Back cover has a small peel-off mark, probably from the careless removal of the price sticker.  (less than ¼ square inch in size)

-        Cover shows some light yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging   (nothing significant).

-        Cover has some visible fraying/tattering on all three seams

-        Cover has all four corners slightly worn / dinged / bent.

NO OTHER IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER:

-        No cut-out (drill) holes.

-        No cut-out corners

-        No saw-marks or indents

-        No writing

-        No stamps  (EXCEPT for the promo stamps, one on each side)

-        No stickers or labels

-        No water damage

-        No razor marks, scratches, pressure marks, lines, streaks, or  cuts.

-        No wax, glue, paint or liquid drops on the cover

-        No glue traces or wax residue.

-        No bar codes

-        No RIAA stamps or stickers.
