The Crests (5 results)

No Binding. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Not a book but a group of three, 7-inch, 45 rpm "single" vinyl records from 1958. The Crests' "16 Candles," credited to Luther Dixon, COED CO-506, is very-good-plus to near-mint with some rub and a small PON to the red-and-black label. The Teddy Bears' "To Know Him, Is to Love Him," both sides credited to Philip Spector, on the pale blue Dore label, is Dore 45-503, near mint, while "Willie and the Hand Jive," sung by and credited to Johnny Otis, is purple label Capitol F3966, 45-18745, near-mint to the "A" side, very-good-plus with a sticker pull to label of B-side "Ring-A-Ling." Following graduation from Fairfax High School in Los Angeles, young Philip Spector convinced Era records to pony up $75 so he could take his vocal group, the Teddy Bears (Marshall Leib, Harvey Goldstein, lead singer Annette Kleinbard, and last minute recruit, drummer Sandy Nelson) into the studio to record his first song, "To Know Him, Is to Love Him." The record stayed in the Billboard Hot 100 for 23 weeks -- Number One for three weeks. At the age of 19, Phil Spector had written, arranged, played, sung, and produced the best-selling record in the country. It sold over two and a half million copies. Leib went on to join the Hollywood Argyles. As "Carol Connors," Annette Kleinbard went on to write the Rip Chords' "Hey Little Cobra" and the Academy Award-nominated Rocky theme song, "Gonna Fly Now." The year was 1958. Does anyone remember? Group of three 45 rpm vinyl "singles," for one price -- in fact, now reduced from $27.

No Binding. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Not a book. We offer the 7-inch, 45 rpm extended play vinyl disc, only, identifying itself somewhat cryptically as "Volume 3." Presumably this originally came in a color picture sleeve (now missing) identifying itself as "Dick Clark's All-Time Hits Volume 3." Vinyl very-good-plus but the yellow label soiled and bearing the name of Previous Owner "Jeanne" several times. (A girl can't be too careful.) Now reduced from $15.
