About this Item

Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm vinyl record album, ("Electronically Re-recorded to Simulate Stereo"), Imperial LP-12392 with green & black labels, near-mint vinyl in a near-mint original cardboard jacket which has been opened but still wears its original shrink-wrap bearing two small original price tags (one priced 99 cents), in lovely original Liberty inner paper sleeve advertising The Hollies' "Stop! Stop! Stop!" (1966), Gary Lewis & The Playboys' "Golden Greats" (1966), etc. Here, young Eric Hillard Nelson offers "Honeycomb," Carl Perkins & Howard "Curley" Griffin's "Boppin' The Blues," "Be-Bop Baby," "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You," "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On," seven others. The original release of this LP, on the earlier black-with-stars Imperial label, was 1957, and is highly sought-after. This is the re-channeled stereo version, sometimes listed as 1968. Jacket notes refer to "17 year old Rick's . . . first record last April," which would indicate notes may have merely been picked up from the 1957 release. (Young Nelson was born in 1940.) And indeed, jacket notes also report "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" is about to "start its 14 consecutive season . . . this fall." The show's 14tth (and probably last) season on TELEVISION began in 1965, but they were likely counting the show's debut on RADIO in 1949, which would again date these unsigned notes to the release date of the original 1957 LP.
