Gene Ross – “Endless Sleep” / “The Only One”
Label: Herald Records – H-517
Format: 10″ 78 RPM shellac
Genre: Rockabilly / Teen Ballad
Year: Late 1950s
Exceptionally rare 78 RPM single on the yellow Herald Records label.

B-side: The Only One (Ross) — an original, melodic teen-style number
🔍 This 78 version is not documented on Discogs or Popsike, making it a seldom-seen collector’s piece — likely pressed in very limited quantities near the end of the 78 era.
📀 Condition:
Vinyl is visually VG with scattered scuffs and handling marks but retains some gloss
Play-tested on modern 78 setup — plays through both sides without skips
Labels show moderate wear and some ring rub — see photos
🎯 A rare opportunity for collectors of obscure rockabilly, Herald label completists, or archivists of regional 1950s pressings.
Professionally packed in a 78 mailer with extra cardboard padding. Combined shipping available.
