Description

    Here is a nice copy of Bonnie Jo Mason's 45 RPM Single "Ringo, I Love You"/ "Beatle Blues" on Annette Records # 1000 from 1964.
    Bonnie Jo Mason is actually Cher and this is Cher's first record ever. In 1964 there were so many records coming out to participate in the Beatlemania that was happening all over the world. So, Phil Spector and a few friends decided to whip out a Beatles related tune and have "backup singer," Cher record it and get it out fast! It has some yeah, yeah, yeahs and few other references to the Beatles. The tune is really not bad, but it didn't go too far.

    I don't have any sales figures for this record, but it could not have sold many copies, and today it has become quite a collectible!
 
    Looking at the vinyl, there are some marks. I play tested both sides twice on my Denon DP 62 turntable with Shure M97 cartridge. The sound is fine. I did not notice any pops or clicks during two playbacks, nothing to interfere with the music. When the music was over, there was some very slight surface sound in the run-out grooves.

   So, I have rated the record as VG+ and will go a step further and say it is a STRONG VG+.

   Shipping/Handling will be FREE Media Mail within the U.S. I will pay for postal insurance on this item.
