Description

This is Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Ruth Brown singing "Love Contest" and "If You Don't Want Me" on Atlantic 1018 from 1954. This R&B record looks NM. "Love Contest" plays in NM condition. "If You Don't Want Me" plays VG++ with light background noise. This record comes in an early Atlantic Records company sleeve. The picture sleeve is a custom sleeve made in Canada or England and is in MINT condition. These custom sleeves are one-off sleeves and are not mass produced. This item comes in a clear, resealable, poly-vinyl protective sleeve with a cardboard backer separating the record from the sleeve. Ruth Brown was also inducted into the National Rhythm and Blues Hall of Fame. It's amazing to find a record that is almost 70 years old and still in NM condition. This copy is perfect for serious collectors!!!!

U.S. postage and handling is free on this item. International customers should email me first for a shipping quote.

I grade in direct sunlight or under a high-intensity lamp to assure the most accurate grading possible. However, you have my unconditional guarantee that I will take the records back if you think that the records are not as stated. My reputation is what has kept me in business for 44 years. 

If you win multiple auctions, I will combine packaging to save you as much postage as possible. I ship with sturdy cardboard packaging to protect your records. Please review my feedback from previously satisfied customers. I have been buying and selling records for 44 years now and as of February 2023 I am celebrating 24 years on eBay.

Definitions:

Mint = 10 = Just like it came from the factory. May still be factory sealed. These will generally be priced close to collector value.

NM = 9 = Near Mint = Very minor surface markings that do not interfere with the audio playback. These will generally be priced at 80% to 90% of collector value.

VG++ = 7.5 = Very Good++ = The surface markings are more noticeable and may or may not affect the audio playback. Sometimes a record can look VG++ but still play in NM condition. These will generally be priced at 60% to 75% of collector value.

VG+ = 5 = Very Good+ = Now the surface markings are quite noticeable and they will generally be heard during audio playback. These will generally be priced at 40% to 50% of collector value.

Generally, I will not list records below VG+ unless it is a rare record of importance to collectors.
