Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm heavy vinyl record album, Decca High Fidelity Long Play (mono) DL 8567, very-good-plus vinyl wearing the old silver-on-black labels in a very-good-plus cardboard jacket which is stamped with the circled letter "T"… to top of verso. This 1957 entry is not exactly rock 'n roll (though jacket back cover does advertise Bill Haley's "Rock 'n Roll Stage Show" and the soundtrack to "Rock Pretty Baby," with Sal Mineo and John Saxon.) Rather, the slow-dancing vocal duo (Al Alberts and Dave Mahoney, backed by Rosario "Sod" Voccaro on trumpet and Lou Silvestri on drums) who had big hits earlier in the fifties with "Tell Me Why" (Gold & Alberts, not Lennon & McCartney) and "Heart and Soul," here offer "Have You Ever Been Lonely (Have You Ever Been Blue)", "Peg O' My Heart," "Heartaches," "There I've Said It Again" eight others of the same ilk. No, the reason this album makes our "Weird Vinyl" collection is the color jacket cover photo of (supposed) teen-agers (supposedly) doing "The Shuffle." Not that we have anything against small people, mind you. But for this cover shoot, did the folks at Decca actually recruit a group of dwarves.
