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.…

Terms of sale
Email vin@catscuriosities.com. For return and refund information see Abe Books policies. Delivery of parcels to Africa, Latin America, and Asia (except Japan and Singapore) can be problematic. We urge prospective buyers in these regions to contact us in advance to determine if secure shipping can be arranged. Delivery to a relative, business associate or consular official in North America, Europe, Japan or Australia is often the best option. In our experience, deliveries to Italy and France take at least three weeks, regardless of shipping method; we cannot control Customs delays in those countrioes. NOTE: Cat's Curiosities sells used books. We attempt to identify books which have a damp or musty smell, when we sell them at all. Otherwise, while our books are currently stored in a temperature-controlled, smoke-free location, buyers should assume our used books have previously been shelved inside human habitations and have been exposed over the decades to some combination of wood smoke, tobacco smoke, leather dressing, or other aromatic agents unknown to us. We offer no certificates of hypoallergenic purity. Those wishing to make symbolic gestures of support for the prohibition of tobacco and other medicinal plant extracts should apply elsewhere.
Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
