Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm vinyl rock 'n roll record album, End 305, a very-good-plus glossy cardboard jacket with what may be a small telephone number written in ballpoint at top of both sides, and 11 cuts of lovely, near-mint vinyl ruined by a serious multiple needle-dig to the last cut on Side 2 only, that being The Isley Brothers' "My Love," which will not play without skipping. So how do you grade 11 near-mint tracks and one that's hopeless? We'll compromise and say "fair overall" -- early, 1950s material by the Isleys ("Everybody's Gonna Rock & Roll," "Rockin' McDonald"), The Dubs ("Be Sure My Love," "Is There a Love for Me?") and the Flamingos ("At the Prom") can be hard to find. Here reduced from $18.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm vinyl record, Original Sound Sales OSR-LP 8861, new in sealed, unopened, original shrink-wrap. Repackaged oldies by the original artists includes The Soul Survivors' "Expressway to Your Heart." Chuck Berry contributes "Maybellene" (sic); The Angels offer "My Boyfriend's Back"; from The Diamonds comes "Little Darlin'"; from Little Anthony & the Imperials we get "Goin' Out of My Head"; Mary Wells contributes "My Guy"; from Little Richard we hear "Tutti Frutti"; The Kingsmen offer "Louie Louie," etc. Reduced from $24.

No Binding. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Not a book but a group of six, 7-inch, 45 rpm Rhythm & Blues "doo-wop" vinyl singles. By popular demand, we're back with six more, this time by golden-era vocal groups you MAY ACTUALLY HAVE HEARD OF, combined to consolidate shipping. You know the deal by now: These vinyl records should play well; they grade "good-plus" to "very-good-plus" with scattered scuffs and scratches. The labels show some rub from being stored together without individual protective sleeves; one has a Previous Owner's Name written in pen to both labels. NONE of these vinyl 45s are shiny new, NONE of them grade "near mint." But at a very reasonable price you get the following six ORIGINAL RELEASES: George Gershwin's "Love Walked In," backed by / "Yours," performed by The Flamingos on end Records, 1959; "Elizabeth" / "Believe In Me," by Dave Ford and The Hollywood Flames, on Goldie Records, 1962; "What Time Is It?" (penned by our favorite Australian sheep-herders, Feldman-Goldstein-Gottehrer) / "Beggin' You Please," by the Jive Five with Eugene Pitt on Beltone (1962); "Fireworks" / "The Bounce" by The Olympics on Tri-Disc (1963);"Goin' Out of My Head" (Randazzo-Weinstein) / "Make It Easy On Yourself," by Little Anthony and The Imperials (of course) on dcp International, 1964, and "Sweetest One" / "Time Changes Things," by the Metros on RCA Victor, 1966. There you have it: a group of six early '60s doo-wop 45s, this time by black vocal groups you probably HAVE heard of, combined into a lot at one price to consolidate shipping charges, and now even further reduced from $25.

No Binding. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Not a book but a 7-inch, 45 rpm vinyl "single," End E-1027, very-good-plus vinyl (could actually be Styrene) with a few smudges, brown rectangular stain to B-side label where someone once presumably placed a piece of tape, said tape now gone. First single at End Records for Clarence Collins' group, previously known as the Chesters, and their first big hit. WABC disc jockey Alan Freed, who knew lead tenor Anthony Gourdine, received the demo -- credited to "The Imperials" -- and introduced it on the air with "And here's a new record that's making a lot of noise, LITTLE ANTHONY and The Imperials singing 'Tears On My Pillow.'" The phone lines lit up, at which point the folks at George Goldner's year-old End Records knew they had a hit -- and a problem. They didn't HAVE any records that said they were by anyone called "Little Anthony." So they made the obvious call to the plant (pardon us if we paraphrase): "You know that new 45 by the Imperials? Well I need like a hundred thousand new labels by tomorrow, only they've got to say they're by LITTLE ANTHONY and the Imperials, see?" Which is why original copies of End Records E-1027 credited simply to "The Imperials" (like this one) are now worth basically twice what the revised (and far more common) "Little Anthony and the Imperials" versions will command. This one now reduced from $14.
