Marvelettes (2 results)

No Binding. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Not books but a group of six, 7-inch, 45 rpm "single" rock 'n roll records from the year 1961. The Marvelettes' "Please Mr. Postman" (covered by some English scousers a few years later) is "very good"; the vinyl of Ricky Nelson's "Hello Mary Lou / Travelin' Man" is very-good-plus, although the labels here have suffered more harm than a mere sticker pull -- presumably someone glued on and then tore off a pair of larger name labels. (Young Eric Hilliard Nelson was a good looking lad with a warm and pleasant voice, but if you think a good-looking 21-year-old named Joe Schmo from Idaho would be likely to walk into the studio and be told, "OK, for starters, Gene Pitney has offered you a little thing called 'Hello Mary Lou,' and then for a B side Jerry Fuller has come up with a number called 'Travelin' Man' that he'd like you to try," well, you haven't quite grasped how coming from a Show Business family with its own long-running prime-time TV show can help a fella get off the ground.) The vinyl of Dion DiMucci's "Runaround Sue" is also very-good to very-good-plus, as is that of Gene Chandler's "Duke of Earl." The self-penned doo-wop efforts of Lou Josie may not be on the tip of your tongue, but this disc from rendezvous records ("Jeannie / Talk to the Angels") -- while not specifically identified as a demo -- has white labels and near-mint vinyl; we estimate it's a $12.50 value all by itself. And finally we have Decca 31244 on the pink label, The Seniors' "When Will I Fall In Love / Baby Say the Word." This shiny styrene disc would otherwise grade "mint," but someone has created a series of parallel scuffs to the first minute only of "When Will I Fall In Love." The record still plays through, but that introductory passage of the "A" side is noisy, reducing our grade for this disc alone to "good." So they're not perfect, but you get the ORIGINAL RELEASES of six big records from 1961, all for less than $2 apiece, plus shipping! This lot now reduced from $30.…

No Binding. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Not a book but a 7-inch, 45 rpm vinyl rock 'n roll record, Tamla 54116, very good to very-good-plus but with a "cut-out" hole drilled near top of label. Tamla was a division of Motown.
