Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Not a book but a 10-inch "Long Playing" (mono) vinyl LP, Capitol H-513 with purple labels, vinyl "very good" or better," which demonstrates that Capitol (and Miss Morse) were offering rock 'n roll records before anyone had even settled on a name for…the genre. Here, Ella Mae (who was featured on Capitol's first-ever release, "Cow-cow Boogie") offers "Have Mercy Baby," "Rock Me All Night Long," Jesse Stone's "Money Honey," four others. Vinyl plays through nicely with an occasional click or pop. This is early rock 'n roll with no audible guitar -- main instrumental backing is by piano and acoustic bass with an occasional wailing sax. Miss Ella Mae can really belt them out, however -- even if it's hard to keep a straight face when a set of back-up singers that could have been working for Johnny Mann or Sing Along With Mitch contribute their occasional scripted "bop-shoo-wop." Grade the jacket, with some tape adhesions near the top edge, "very good" as well. This 10-inch album has been known to catalog at $400 -- we started at $26, now reduced to $10.50.
