THANK YOU FOR VIEWING MY AUCTIONS AND FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION,  YOU ARE BIDDING FOR ON OF THE RAREST ALBUM OF ALL, LET THE GOODTIMES ROLL BY SHIRLEY AND LEE AND ORIGINALLY RECORDED ON THE ALADDIN LABEL 807. THIS IS THE MAROON LABEL WITH SILVER PRINT AND LISTS FOR OVER $1,500.00 NM IN THE LATEST GOLDMINE. THE TRAILOFF NUMBERS IN THE DEADWAX AREA, ARE LP-1A AND DATED 12/1/57 ON SIDE 1 AND LP-1B AND DATED 12/1/57 ON SIDE 2. THE COLORFUL ALBUM COVER IS IN GOOD CONDITION CONSIDERING IT'S AGE. THERE IS NO WRITING AND ONLY MINIMAL DISCOLORATION AND RINGWEAR EVIDENT. THE SEAMS HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY REPAIRED TO MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF THE ALBUM AND THERE IS A VERY SMALL DEPARTMENT STORE PRICE TAG AT THE LOER RIGHT CORNER WITH A PRICE IF $2.70. THE THICK RECORD HAS MAINTAINED MUCH OF IT'S ORIGINAL GLOSS AND DOES NOT SHOW SIGNS OF MASSIVE WEAR. THERE IS A MARKING PEN LINE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LABEL ON BOTH SIDES. INSPECTED UNDER THE LIGHT, THERE WERE NO DEEP SCRATCHES OR HEAVY SCUFF MARKS, JUST SURFACE OR LINE MARKS FROM NORMAL USE. I PLAYED THE RECORD PRIOR TO LISTING AND THERE WERE NO STCKS OR SKIPS, JUST SOME POPS AND HISSES FROM NORMAL USE. A STRONG PLAYER AND A VERY GOOD LISTENING EXPERIENCE. IN MY 50 PLUS YEARS OF COLLECTING, I HAVE ONLY THREE OF THESE ALBUMS, ONE THAT A FRIEND OF OWNED UNTIL HIS DEATH, ONE I SOLD EARLIER THIS YEAR AND THIS ONE. THEY ARE MOST RARE AND FROM THE INPUT I RECEIVE FROM AROUND THE WORLD, FEW ARE KNOWN TO BE AVAILABLE. BASED ON GOLDMINE'S GRADING GUIDELINES, THE ALBUM IS GRADED VG AND THE RECORD VG. THERE IS NO RESERVE.

SIDE 1; LET THE GOOD TIME 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, CASHIER'S CHECK, MONEY ORDER OR PERSONAL CHECK AND WILL SHIP ON DAY OF SETTLEMENT. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME. PLEASE VIEW MY FEEDBACK, GOOD LUCK AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

GRADING!

GRADING IS BASED ON GOLDMINE'S GRADING SYSTEM. I AM CONSERVATIVE WHEN GRADING MY ALBUMS AND I TRY TO BE OBJECTIVE IN DOING SO. MOST OF THE ALBUMS OFFERED FOR BID COME FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION WHILE OTHERS COME FROM OTHER COLLECTIONS AND ESTATES. NONE COME FROM GARAGE SALES OR SWAP MEETS.

MINT: (M);  ABSOLUTELY PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. CERTAINLY NEVER PLAYED AND PERHAPS STILL IN THE 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, TAPE OR OTHER NOTICEABLE DEFECTS, INCLUDING CUT-OUT HOLES. BASICALLY, AN ALBUM IN NEAR MINT CONDITION SHOULD LOOK AS IF IT WAS JUST PURCHASED FROM A RECORD STORE AND REMOVED FROM THE ORIGINAL WRAPPING.

VERY GOOD+: (VG+);  A VERY GOOD PLUS WILL SHOW SOME SIGNS OF USE AND THAT IT WAS PLAYED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER WHO TOOK CARE OF IT. RECORD SURFACES MAY SHOW SOME SIGNS OF WEAR AND ALSO MAY HAVE SOME SLIGHT SCUFFS OR SCRATCHES THAT DO NOT AFFECT ONE'S LISTENING EXPERIENCE. SLIGHT WARPS THAT DO NOT AFFECT THE SOUND IS OK. THE LABELS MAY HAVE SOME RINGWEAR OR DISCOLORATION, BUT THEY SHOULD BARELY BE 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 DESIRABLE.

VERY GOOD (VG):  SURFACE NOISE WILL BE EVIDENT UPON PLAYING, ESPECIALLY IN SOFT PASSAGES AND DURING A SONGS 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.

LISTINGS AND DESCRIPTIONS!

WHEN AN ALBUM IS LISTED AND IT IS KNOWN TO BE AN ORIGINAL OR FIRST PRESSING, IT WILL BE STATED IN THE DESCRIPTION, INCLUDING THE TRAILOFF NUMBERS IN THE DEADWAX AREA. I TRY TO BE AS ACCURATE AND OBJECTIVE AS POSSIBLE, HOWEVER IT IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE A MISTAKE AND IF THAT HAPPENS AND YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED, PLEASE LST ME KNOW WITHIN SEVEN DAYS OF THE PURCHASE DATE AND YOU WILL RECEIVE A REFUND OR CREDIT UPON RETURN OF THE ALBUM, IN THE CONDITION IT WAS SENT ORIGIANLLY.
