SHIRLEY & LEE Rare

YOU ARE BIDDING FOR A VERY RARE AND OBSCURE ALBUM, CALLED SHIRLEY AND LEE AND RECORDED ON THE ALADDIN LABEL 807. THE TWO KIDS, SHIRLEY PIXLEY AND LEONARD LEE STARTED SINGING TOGETHER IN 1952 WHEN THEY WERE JUST 16. THEIR BIGGEST HIT WAS LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL AND IS INCLUDED ON THIS ALBUM AND SPEAKING OF ALBUMS, I DON'T BELIEVE THIS ALBUM COVER IS AN ORIGINAL ALTHOUGH I AM NOT SURE. THE FRONT IS WRINKLED A LITTLE AND THERE IS MINOR DISCOLORATION DUE TO AGE. THE THICK RECORD HAS MAINTAINED MUCH OF ITS GLOSS. THERE IS SURFACE AND LINE MARKS BUT NO DEEP SCRATCHES. THE DARK MAROON LABELS ARE CLEAN BUT DO HAVE SOME NEEDLE MARKS. I PLAYED THE RECORD PRIOR TO LISTING AND THERE WERE NO SKIPS OR STICKS. THERE WERE POPS AND HISSES DUE TO USE. IT PLAYED QUITE WELL FOR A RECORD ALMOST 50 YEARS OLD. I WISH I HAD MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS ALBUM, HOWEVER I HAVE ONLY SEEN ONE OTHER LIKE THIS AND THAT WAS WHEN A FRIEND OF MINE PURCHASED ONE NEW IN 1956. HE PASSED AWAY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND HIS WIDOW SOLD HIS ALBUMS AT A GARAGE SALE. BASED ON GOLDMINE'S GRADING SYSTEM, THE ALBUM COVER IS GRADED G+ AND THE RECORD VG. SIDE 1; LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL, I'M GONE, SWEETHEARTS, KEEP ON, TAKES MONEY, CONFESSIN. SIDE 2; LEE'S DREAM, I'LL DO IT, TRYIN' TO FOOL ME, COMIN' OVER, SO IN LOVE, WHY DID I. I WILL ACCEPT PAYPAL, CASHIERS CHECK, PERSONAL CHECK OR MONEY ORDER AND WILL SHIP ON DAY OF SETTLEMENT. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, EMAIL ME. PLEASE VIEW MY FEEDBACK, GOOD LUCK AND THANK YOU.

GRADING IS BASED ON GOLDMINE'S GRADING SYSTEM. I'M CONSERVATIVE WHEN GRADING MY ALBUMS AND RECORDS AND I TRY TO BE OBJECTIVE IN DOING SO.

MINT: (M); ABSOLUTELY PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. CERTAINLY NEVER PLAYED AND PERHAPS, STILL IN ORIGINAL WRAPPING.

NEAR MINT: (NM); A NEARLY PERFECT RECORD AND ALBUM COVER. THE RECORD SHOULD SHOW NO OBVIOUS SIGNS OF WEAR. THE ALBUM COVER SHOULD HAVE NO CREASES, FOLDS, SEAM SPLITS,  WRITING OR OTHER NOTICEABLE DEFECTS. NO CUT-OUT HOLES EITHER. BASICALLY, AN ALBUM IN NEAR MINT CONDITION LOOKS AS IF YOU JUST PURCHASED IT FROM A RECORD STORE AND REMOVED THE ORIGINAL WRAPPING.

VERY GOOD PLUS: (VG+); A VERY GOOD PLUS WILL SHOW SOME SIGNS OF USE AND THAT IT WAS PLAYED BY A PREVIOUS OWNER WHO TOOK CARE OF IT. RECORD SURFACES MAY SHOW SOME SLIGHT SIGNS OF WEAR AND ALSO MAY HAVE SLIGHT SCUFFS OR SCRATCHES THAT DON'T AFFECT ONE'S LISTENING EXPERIENCES. SLIGHT WARPS THAT DO NOT AFFECT THE SOUND IS OK. THE LABEL MAY HAVE SOME RINGWEAR OR DISCOLORATION, BUT IT SHOULD BE BARELY NOTICEABLE. THE CENTER HOLE WILL NOT BE MISSHAPEN BY REPEATED PLAY. THE ALBUM COVER MAY HAVE SLIGHT SIGNS OF WEAR AND ALSO MAY BE MARRED BY A CUT-OUT HOLE, INDENTATION OR CORNER INDICATING IT WAS TAKEN OUT OF PRINT. A VERY GOOD PLUS RECORD IS HIGHLY ACCEPTABLE AND DISIRABLE.

VERY GOOD: (VG); SURFACE NOISE WILL BE EVIDENT UPON PLAYING, ESPECIALLY IN SOFT PASSAGES AND DURING A SONG'S INTRO AND FADE. LABELS MAY BE MARRED BY WRITING OR HAVE TAPE OR STICKERS ATTACHED. THE SAME WILL BE TRUE WITH ALBUM COVERS. TAPED SEAMS MAY BE COMMON.

GOOD PLUS; (G+) OR GOOD (G); I RARELY DEAL WITH THIS CATEGORY.

SUMMARY; I SINCERELY HOPE THIS INFORMATION WILL BE OF VALUE TO YOU. I AM NOT AN EXPERT BY I DO HAVE OVER 50 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE BUYING AND SELLING INVESTMENT GRADE RECORDS. I AM SURE YOU WILL BE HAPPY WITH MY AUCTIONS AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST.
