TOMMY JAMES & THE SHONDELLS

WORLD PREMIER RECORD - "CRIMSON AND CLOVER" b/w  blank groove  

HOW RARE IS THIS? MEGA-RARE! 1968 CHICAGO RADIO WLS EXCLUSIVE GOLD LABEL ONE-SIDED CUSTOM PRESSING BY & FOR ROULETTE RECORDS. THIS WAS A SPECIAL 'ADVANCE PRESSING' SENT AROUND TO OTHER STATIONS WITH AN ACCOMPANYING PHOTO COPY LETTER FROM ROULETTE NATIONAL SALES MANAGER RED SCHWARTZ. THIS ORIGINAL 60'S XEROX COPY OF THE LETTER IS INCLUDED!

WE PUT THE RECORD IN A 60'S ROULETTE LABEL SLEEVE SINCE THE OLD GENERIC SLEEVE THE RECORD WAS SENT OUT IN WAS PRETTY MUCH TATTERED AND WORN.

WLS WAS THE BIGGEST DOG ON THE RADIO SCENE IN THE 60'S, MORE INFLUENTIAL THAN ANY STATION IN NEW YORK OR LOS ANGELES, SINCE AT 50,000 CLEAR WATTS IT COVERED 1/2 OF THE USA DURING THE DAY AND 2/3 OF IT AT NIGHT! WLS GETTING BEHIND 'CRIMSON & CLOVER' AT THIS LEVEL WAS A BIG 'GET' FOR ROULETTE, BUT THEN AGAIN ROULETTE WAS A MOB LABEL AND WLS COULD PROBABLY BE 'ENCOURAGED' BY CHICAGO CONNECTIONS AT THE TIME.

CONDITION:

• LABELS ARE BRIGHT & CLEAN, NO WRITING, NO STICKERS
• PLAYING SURFACE HAS NEARLY FULL GLOSS WITH ONLY MINOR SUPERFICIAL SLEEVE OR HANDLING WEAR AND 1 SUPERFICIAL LITTLE MARK, STILL I'M GUESSING THIS IS POSSIBLY UNPLAYED
• BLANK GROOVE SIDE HAS SOME SLEEVE OR HANDLING SCUFFS
• 60'S ROULETTE LABEL SLEEVE (we are also including the original worn generic sleeve it was mailed in)
• THE LETTER IS ON OLD XEROX TYPE PAPER AND WAS FOLDED TO FIT IN THE '45 SLEEVE. THE LETTER IS IN GREAT SHAPE, NOT BRITTLE 

RARE! SOLID VG++ 7" AND NEAR MINT LETTER!

NO PAY PAL!

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING RATE SHOWN IS FOR REGISTERED MAIL TO MOST COUNTRIES, AS STATED IN THE INTRODUCTION.
