Jacket Notes Derek Church (1 results)

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm stereo vinyl instrumental rock 'n roll LP, identified to jacket as Liberty LST-8003, but to disc labels as United Artists Records LST-8003, near-mint vinyl in a near mint cardboard jacket (the boys showing off their stylish late-'60s hairstyles to BOTH front and back covers) which has been opened but still wears its original shrink-wrap. The lads offer jazz guitarist Johnny Smith's "Walk Don't Run" (of course), Bill Doggett's "Honky Tonk," Ellington's "Caravan," Santo & Johnny Farina's "Sleep Walk," Bill Justis' "Raunchy," even Max Steiner's "My Own True Love" (Tara's Theme)" -- plus a couple of originals. Obviously, this is not the Dolton 1960 original, nor even the Dolton 1963 re-release. There were actually two 1970 Liberty re-releases; this is the slightly more valuable one with a new back as well as a new front jacket cover. Why it bears tan "United Artists Records" labels displaying the Liberty catalog number we have no idea -- though admittedly they were both part of "Transamerica" by this point. (UA is generally reported to have issued Ventures product only from 1971 -- when the Liberty label went into eclipse -- through 1977. The Liberty label then resurfaced under new ownership in 1978, and officially supplanted UA under EMI ownership from 1980 to 1984 . . . for those who really care.) Reduced from $15.
