Dave Bartholomew – New Orleans House Party – Rock ‘n Roll-Jazz Vinyl LP-WL Promo

$

33

This incredible artist composed over 4000 songs.  He was a powerful trumpet player.  He was an outstanding producer, arranger, and bandleader.  He is a member of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame and the Songwriters Hall Of Fame.  When he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame he was noted as  "one of (New Orleans’) greatest musicians and a true pioneer in the rock and roll revolution."  But the highlight of his nearly endless resume may be that he is the man that discovered Fats Domino.  He was the writer and Fats was the singer, with over 40 hits produced together.  He also briefly led his own band and recorded three albums as well as 15 singles and EP’s.  This was his debut, and as the title suggests, this is early 60’s house party music.  It is almost all instrumental, with a big band feel.  But it’s definitely music meant to get everyone up and dancing.  The album was released on Imperial in 1961, number LP-9217.  This is the original release of the album and it is the very hard to find white label promotional release.  The vinyl is in pristine condition with its bright original luster and no scratches or scuffs.  It plays with virtually no background noise.  The vinyl grades NM.  The album cover shows light ring wear and light corner and edge wear including a one inch split at the top of the spine.  The other seams are sharp, tight, and intact.  The cover grades VG+.

Grading Information

I use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Very occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G.  This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy. 

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. Canada shipping rates have gone up dramatically. The first album will be shipped for $16.  Additional albums will be shipped for $5 per album, with up to five albums able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

The Canada cost determination also applies for all other International shipping, except that the first album is shipped for $23 and each subsequent is just an additional $8. 

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.  Payment by PayPal is preferred.
