RARE 1960s ROBERT HORTON 1st LP- THE VERY THOUGHT OF YOU- ONLY COPY AVAILABLE

$

30

THIS AUCTION FEATURES ANOTHER EXCELLENT VINYL FIND IN THE HUGE COLLECTION OF A DISC JOCKEY.  YOU WILL NOTICE THE MESSAGE ON THE BACK OF THE ALBUM COVER INDICATING IT IS A "DEMONSTRATION - NOT FOR SALE" ISSUE THAT IS INDICATIVE OF COPIES GIVEN TO DISC JOCKIES FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES.

BEING COLLECTED BY THE DISC JOCKEY IS THE ONLY REASON THE LP ALBUM EVEN EXISTS TODAY.  AS SUCH, IT IS A RARE ALBUM BEING THE ONLY COPY AVAILABLE ON EBAY AT THE TIME I LIST THIS AUCTION. 

IT IS ANOTHER EXCELLENT VINTAGE (APPROXIMATELY 1960) ALBUM WHICH WAS THE 1ST ALBUM THAT ROBERT NORTON EVER RECORDED.  IT WAS RECORDED EVEN BEFORE HE WENT ON TO BECOME THE CO-STAR OF WARD BOND OF THE 1960's TV HIT SHOW, "WAGON TRAIN," AND OTHER MOTION PICTURES.  HE WAS CONSIDERED A HEART THROB BY THE LADIES AND HAD A VOICE THAT MANY COMPARED TO THE ICONIC FRANK SINATRA.  OF COURSE, HE WAS ALWAYS CONSIDERED A LARGE HUNK OF A COWBOY ONCE HE BECAME THE STAR OF "WAGON TRAIN."  HIS COWBOY IMAGE WAS ENHANCED EVEN MORE WHEN HE ALSO BECAME OF THE STAR OF ANOTHER HUGH TV HIT SERIES CALLED, "THE MAN FROM SHENANDOAH."  FANS WHO KNOW HIM WILL DEFINITELY REMEMBER THOSE VINTAGE TV SHOWS.

PRODUCED BY COLUMBIA RECORDS AS A STEREO ISSUE, AT FIRST GLANCE THE LP SMACKS OF EXCELLENT TO NEAR MINT QUALITIES.  THE ALBUM COVER HAS ONLY A MINIMAL AMOUNT OF ANY WEAR THAT YOU HAVE TO LOOK HARD TO FIND (SUCH AS A FAINT HINT OF RINGWEAR THAT YOU HAVE TO LOOK FOR TO FIND.)  IT ALSO HAS A 1-INCH AREA ON THE BACK COVER WHERE THE DISC JOCKEY USED A TOUCH OF WHITE OUT (AGAIN, YOU HAVE TO LOOK TO SEE IT).  THERE ARE SIMPLY NO MAJOR FLAWS - NO SEAM RIPS, NO TEARS, ETC. WHICH IS RARE FOR SUCH A VINTAGE ALBUM.  CONSIDERING THE AGE AND ERA OF THE LP, IT IS AMAZING IT IS IN SUCH GREAT CONDITION ALL THESE DECADES LATER. WE'LL JUST CALL IT "EXCELLENT."

THE VINYL WOULD BE ALMOST MINT WERE IT NOT FOR ONLY A COUPLE OF MINOR SCRATCHES THAT YOU CAN ONLY SEE UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT THAT DO NOT EFFECT PLAY. TO BE SURE, I PLAYED BOTH SIDES OF THE VINYL RECORD WITH NO PROBLEMS.  THAT IS WHEN I DISCOVERED THAT ROBERT NORTON'S VOICE DID, IN FACT, RESEMBLE FRANK SINATRA.  EXCELLENT MUSICAL COLLECTIBLE FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR THE PROVEN HIGH QUALITY ENTERTAINING VINTAGE   ISSUES FROM THE PAST. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IN THE CONDITION OF THE PACKAGE AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS.

AMONG THE TRACKS ARE "THE VERY THOUGHT OF YOU," "P.S. I LOVE YOU," "WITCHCRAFT," "UNFORGETTABLE," ETC.- SEE PHOTOS FOR DETAILS.

OH SO COLLECTIBLE FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR THE TRULY ENTERTAINING VINTAGE VINYL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. 

THE VINYL LP WAS DISCOVERED AMONG A BUNCH OF OTHER SUCH SIMILAR UNUSUAL DISCS ONCE OWNED BY A DISC JOCKEY. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE OTHER SUCH RARE LP'S IN MY OTHER AUCTIONS - MANY OF THEM STILL SEALED (IF THEY HAVE NOT SOLD).
