Interested in classic, vintage record albums or 45 RPM records? If so, you have come to the right place. We have recently been consigned 2 large record collections and plan to regularly list them on eBay. So please keep checking our auctions as we continue to list these treasures. We also reduce shipping charges on the purchase of multiple record auctions so do check our other auctions just in case we have other current listings of interest.

You will notice a number of things about our listings. 1. We do grade the 33 1/3 or 45 RPM record and the jacket (if one is available) separately as we have found that often they are not in the identical condition. 2. Background information about the record including the date of release is included whenever possible. This information may have been gleaned from the record or reference may have been made to any of the price guides on collectible records. 3. We are often listing Canadian releases of these classic 33 1/3 or 45 RPM records that are not fully listed in most price guides. You thus may see a 33 1/3 or 45 RPM record you recognize but it is on a record label or has a record number that you will not recognize. So by all means please e-mail us if you have any questions or concerns. (We have made extensive reference to the Goldmine Price Guide to 45 rpm Records 3rd Edition and Goldmine Price Guide to Collectible Record Albums. We consider them very valuable resources in the area of collectible records.) ( Presly )

ARTIST NOTES: Lorez Alexandria

A solid singer who is superior at interpreting lyrics, gives a soulful feeling to each song and improvises with subtlety, Lorez Alexandria has been a popular attraction for several decades. She sang gospel music with her family at churches starting in the mid-'40s and worked in Chicago nightclubs in the 1950s. With the release of several albums for King during 1957-59, Alexandria became popular beyond her hometown and by the early '60s she was living and working in Los Angeles. Despite a long period off records (only a few private recordings during the 1965-76 period), Alexandria has survived through the many changes in musical styles and in the 1990s can be heard in excellent form. In addition to King her earlier recording sessions were for Argo and Impulse while her later albums have been for Discovery and Muse. ~ Scott Yanow
