1961 CA 130 DOO-WOP PROMO 45 JERRY LANDIS (PAUL SIMON)

$

50

HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER, VERY HARD TO FIND 1ST PRESSING 45 RPM  PROMO FROM 1961. CANADIAN AMERICAN CA 130 "I'M LONELY"  B/W  "I WISH I WEREN'T IN LOVE", PAUL SIMON SINGING UNDER THE PSEUDONYM JERRY LANDIS. THIS IS ALSO THE FIRST RECORDING OF THE ORIGINAL LINE UP OF TICO AND THE TRIUMPHS (BACKING VOCALS "I WISH I WEREN'T IN LOVE").  TICO AND THE TRIUMPHS WERE A SIDE PROJECT OF SIMONS AT THE TIME.

THE LABELS:

THIS IS THE EARLIEST VERSION OF THE CANADIAN AMERICAN LABEL. IT WAS ONLY USED ON THEIR FIRST FIVE LP'S AND THEIR EARLIEST 45'S. IT IS THE WHITE LABEL "PROMO" DUPLICATE OF THE FIRST BLACK AND SILVER LABEL. THIS LABEL WAS DISCONTINUED AFTER CALP 1005  (LINDA SCOTT 1961) AND A NEW LABEL TOOK IT'S PLACE (5 COLOR BAR ON BLACK) ON CALP 1006. THIS 45 IN LATER PRESSINGS CAN BE SEEN WITH A CA 5 COLOR BAR LABEL AND ALSO WITH A VERY PLAIN WHITE LABEL. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL EARLY 1961 FIRST PRESSING WITH THE RAREST LABEL USED ON THIS ALREADY HARD TO FIND SINGLE. AS YOU CAN SEE THIS 45 WAS IN A JUKEBOX, THE NUMBER REMAINS ON THE LABEL, BUT CAN BE REMOVED. A SMALL NAME HAS BEEN WRITTEN ON THAT SIDE ALSO. LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND ARE WHITER IN PERSON.

RESEARCH OF THIS LABEL WAS DONE AT http://www.bsnpubs.com/nyc/canam/canam.html. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE INFO AT THIS LINK FOR YOURSELF. I HAVE SEEN THE WHITE LABEL 45'S THAT WERE SOLD AS FIRST PRESSING "DJ" COPIES (8 OF THEM HERE ON EBAY) AND I MUST SAY AFTER DOING THE RESEARCH I AM VERY SKEPTICAL THAT THOSE 45'S ARE IN ANYWAY RELATED TO THE 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS SINGLE EXCEPT BY NAME. THESE 45'S ALSO MAKE NO MENTION OF PROMO, DEMO, AUDITION OR DJ ON THERE LABELS. I AM SO SURE THIS IS THE 1ST PRESSING PROMO THAT I WILL RETURN THE BUYERS MONEY AT ANYTIME (1 WEEK, 3 WEEKS OR 3 YEARS DOWN THE LINE) IF I AM PROVEN TO BE MISTAKEN.



THE VINYL:

THIS 45 IS A VERY STRONG VG+ AT LEAST, BY GOLDMINE STANDARDS. THE VINYL HAS RETAINED IT'S ORIGINAL GLOSS. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT MARKS WHICH CAN BE SEEN UNDER STRONG DIRECT LIGHTING, THESE DO NOT DETRACT FROM THE MUSIC UPON PLAYBACK. THIS 45 HAS BEEN PLAY GRADED AND THE PLAYBACK IS CLEAR AND CRISP. I AM PUTTING TWO COPIES OF THE PHOTO'S UP, ONE WITH THE FLASH AND ONE WITHOUT. THE PICS WITHOUT THE FLASH SHOW A MORE ACCURATE DEPICTION OF THE ACTUAL PLAYING SURFACE. PHOTO'S WITH THE FLASH SHOW A MORE ACCURATE DEPICTION OF THE WHITE LABELS......PLEASE SEE MY FEEDBACK, MY GRADING IS ACCURATE AND CONSERVATIVE, BID WITH CONFIDENCE.
