Description
Up for auction is a new/sealed vintage stereo LP of Ann-Margret's SONGS FROM THE SWINGER and Other Swingin' Songs - RCA LSP-3710. Arranged and Conducted by the great Marty Paich, with the famous John Williams (then referred to as "Johnny Williams" at this early point in his career) and Quincy Jones arranging selected songs on the album instead of Mr. Paich. The album was produced by renowned recording engineer Al Schmitt and Neely Plumb, and actually recorded by Hank Cicalo at RCA Victor's Music Center of the World in Hollywood. The movie was produced and directed by George Sidney.
Condition is 9+/SS, graded by a fussy record collector (see grading scale below). There is a very slight bend at the bottom edge of the cover, at the side where the record would come out if it was open. It covers the short area in length (between a 1/4-1/2" long) where the front cover slick folds over to meet the back. This occurs only along this edge, and doesn't have any further affect on the appearance of either the front or back cover. I only noticed it when trying to find any condition issues - otherwise, I don't think I would have ever seen it. The close-up picture is along the middle of the side to show that it is sealed.
I got this record years ago from someone I dated briefly. Her father used to work for RCA, so I know the history of this item and that it has been legitimately sealed since in was manufactured in the 1960's. This is the typically more desirable stereo version of Ann's rarest LP, and is likely one of the best copies of the album in existence.
See record grading scale below.
Shipping is via USPS Priority Mail (or better if requested), with a minimum of Delivery Confirmation added to track the package. If you would like insurance, signature confirmation, or some other service, please request. I don't feel comfortable shipping a record this fine via Media Mail.
