JIM CROCE - FACETS - CROCE 101
RECORDED AT RPL STUDIOS IN CAMDEN, NEW JERSEY IN JULY OF 1966 BY THE 23 YEAR OLD CROCE, THIS PRIVATE PRESSING WAS LIMITED TO A RUN OF 500.
THIS RARE ITEM HAS THE COVER AT A STRONG VG++ WITH THE PASTE ON TITLE SHEET LIGHTLY DIRTY, THE SLEEVE WITH MINOR CORNER DINGS/WEAR AND A SMUDGE ON THE B/C. THE VINYL IS NEAR MINT WITH LIGHT WAX STAINING, NOT UNTYPICAL OF A SMALL PRESS RUN. THE LABELS ARE NEAR MINT WITH FOUR SOFT SPINDLE MARKS. A RARE PIECE BY AN EXTRAORDINARILY GIFTED AND TALENTED SINGER/SONGWRITER!
FROM THE WEB: "In 1966, the young folk artist was planning to marry his sweetheart Ingrid. As the oldest son of a large Italian immigrant family in the Philadelphia area, Croce was expected to use his college education for a respectable, financially stable line of work. His parents gave Croce $ 500.00 as a wedding gift, with one stipulation: It must be used to record an album. Croce's parents figured the task would be so difficult that he would give up on music. But the plan backfired - 500 copies of the album quickly sold out among fans who heard Croce play at local bars, and Croce then devoted himself to music."
NO RESERVE!
