NEW PRESSINGS ON GREEN W-7 LABELS IN ORIGINAL ‘PHONE BOOTH’ COVERS;  ODDLY ENOUGH, AFTER 1968, WARNER AGAIN USED ORIGINAL, “PHONE BOOTH” COVER, BUT THIS TIME AS REGULAR, SINGLE-POCKET COVERS AND WITHOUT THE ORIGINAL PHOTO INSERTS.

Everly Brothers were the Royalty of Rock. With the possible exception of Flamingos, they are our favorite vocal-based Rock'n'Roll band EVER. Nothing and nobody - certainly no white performer - ever came close to the celestial harmonies Brothers were capable of producing. The importance of the Everlies in the development of modern Rock aesthetics cannot possibly be overestimated. They are simply one of the critical pillars of Rock'n'Roll. This is the brothers first album on Warner Brothers label, and easily our most favored one. The Brothers are positively ROCKING on this one, and we guarantee that you will, too.

And, finally, if this is of any relevance (and I do not claim that it is):  DATE WITH EVERLY BROTHERS (TOO BAD THEY ARE NOT EVERLY SISTERS J) is an important  entry in ►my personal top list. Other entries - in no particular order - include Otis Redding, Love, Sam Cooke, Dexter Gordon, James Carr, Can, Tim Buckley, Byrds, Five Royales, Eric Dolphy,  Stooges, Richard and Linda Thompson and  Muddy Waters)

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG VG++. A few light abrasions  ARE VISIBLE, but they appear fairly  insignificant relative to the overall condition of the vinyl, and are only moderately visually distracting. For most part, the vinyl looks impeccable, without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)             The record comes in the original stock inner sleeve.

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER (THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, “PHONE BOOTH” GATEFOLD COVER):

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT  VERY GOOD++ (VG++).

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        The gatefold cover has partially split seams on 1 out of 4 "legs" of the cover (about 4 inches / 1 inch = 2.5 centimeters).

-         Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 3

-         Back cover has circular tarnish (grayish, dust-covered sections, which closely follow the contour of the record),  probably caused by friction or by rubbing against other covers during the storage. The tarnish is similar in appearance to a common ring wear, but, UNLIKE ring wear, these grayish areas may be possible to clean up with a minor effort and with a right cleansing solution.

-         Cover shows JUST A HINT of yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging (BARELY VISIBLE)

-         The front cover used to have a tiny, inconspicuous,  metal ring in the upper left corner , indicating that the album was the property of the radio or broadcasting station. The ring has since fallen out or was removed, leaving a tiny hole in one corner. This is NOT a cutout hole.

-         Cover has some fraying/wear along the upper seam

-         Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the spine  (VISIBLE ON BACK SIDE ONLY)

-         Cover has two corners slightly worn / dinged / bent (just a beginning of the split seam); This two worn corners were delicately taped by the previous owner with a TINY (less than 1/8 sq. inch) piece of transparent scotch tape

NO OTHER IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER:

-        No cut-out (drill) holes.

-        No cut-out corners

-        No saw-marks or indents

-        No yellowing from aging

-        No writing

-        No stamps

-        No peel-off marks

-        No stains

-        No mold or mildew spots

-        No stickers or labels

-        No water damage

-        No razor marks, scratches, pressure marks, lines, streaks, or  cuts.

-        No warping

-        No wax, glue, paint or liquid drops on the cover

-        No glue traces or wax residue.

-        No bar codes

-        No RIAA stamps or stickers.
