ITEM DESCRIPTION
1957 orig US pressing of this POP ROCKER / TEENER 7" 45rpm Extended Play record
in original hardcover on VERVE Records Label ( EPV 5048 ) by RICKY NELSON *
sent the tape out to more than twenty labels. Each turned it down until Barney Kessel heard it.
Kessel was an acclaimed jazz guitarist and chief A&R man for Verve Records. He had also been
Ozzie's guitarists in the 1940s. Kessel realized that Ricky's image had already been pre-sold
through the weekly TV shows. A deal was made for one three hour recording session for Verve.
Three songs "I'm Walkin''," "A Teenager's Romance," and "You're My One and Only Love"
were completed. On April 10, 1957 "I'm Walkin'" debuted on the TV show.
Within a week "I'm Walkin'" backed by "A Teenager's Romance," was released by Verve.
Through the summer "I'm Walkin'" moved up the charts. In mid-summer
"A Teenager's Romance" caught on. Verve was swamped with orders and quickly fell
behind in in pressing new singles... in addition to this very scarce 4 track Extended Play record. )
Record is in EX- / EX- condition ( rec / slv ) with the original pic hardcover ...
Incredibly clean copy of this cool teen bopper gem... kept in a clear resealable
mylar sleeve with fresh kraft paper sleeve for the record!
Titles on this record are:
Side One: A TEENAGER'S ROMANCE / I'M WALKIN'
Side Two: YOU'RE MY ONE AND ONLY LOVE / HONEY ROCK
We have set a FAIR starting bid, and a low "Buy-It-Now" considering the rarity in this condition!
Will go to the highest bidder or some lucky quick buyer! Good Luck and ENJOY!!!
