AUTOGRAPHED FRANK SINATRA PROMO RECORD Stormy Weather 12" shellac 1945

AUTOGRAPHED FRANK SINATRA PROMO RECORD - this incredible item is a 12" shellac promo for the songs "Stormy Weather" and "Ol' Man River"; the catalog numbers on the labels are XCO 33934 and XCO 33935; it was released as Columbia 55037 in 1944 or 1945.

The label reads in part "Orchestra under the direction of Axel Stordahl" and "This record not for sale".

The signature is beautiful, clear and unsmudged, written in fountain pen ink on the Story Weather side: "Best Wishes / Frank Sinatra"; the ink and signature look genuine but I am no expert really - it's just been with us for a while but I guess sometimes you have to let go. In 2012, another record like, in worse shape, was auctioned on the Heritage Auction site and sold for $875. This is only the second time I see this record being sold or auctioned.

Condition is VG+ (the shellac is unplayed, besides the one time I played it to make sure ther was no hidden scratch), it does have a minor surface scuff that doesn't alter play, it comes out in the original generic grey sleeve that's not in great shape - but it's all about the record ! 

To the lucky winner : I am throwing in for FREE a postcard reproduction of Frank Sinatra and John Kennedy's photo by Phil Stern, which was a promo card for his exhibition "Hollywood Big Shots" @ the Fahey/Klein gallery in Los Angeles, Jan 16th - Feb 22nd, 2014 !
