The RAREST PARROT record - FLAMINGOS

$

317

Hi everyone !

Todays listings will be somewhat common, and some that are not very common   These are part of my record collection that spans nearly 28 years !!! My collection contains mostly 45’s and quite a lot of 33 1/3, and quite a few goodies on 78s, too !! (sorry , no classical music, though).

Notice to buyers : You will notice my even LOWER starting bid prices, so that EVERYONE can afford to own these great records. Perfect for buying, trading, and selling !!!  And each record will come in it's own paper sleeve.

From late 1954 on PARROT # 811 .   Yes,  this IS THE EXTREMELY RARE  "I Really Don't Want To Know" on a VG++/ NEAR MINT playing surface  ORIGINAL DISC !!!!!!!!!        You will NEVER see this record again, and in it's condition, IMPOSSIBLE !!!        Flip side is Get With It .    I encourage questions from serious collectors/interested parties, because this is a UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY to own a precious piece of R & B history from the Chicago owned  PARROT label !!     And might I add,  extremely undervalued, too !!!!

ALWAYS REMEMBER I grade very strict, and very honestly of ALL that I sell. I will do my best to represent the description of the merchandise as best that I can, and try not to leave anything out. In the event that there is any information that I missed, and if you should EVER have ANY questions regarding ANY of my collection that I am selling, PLEASE DON’T HESITATE TO ASK ME !!!

I will ALWAYS respect the fact that you need to know as much about what you’re buying, so that you can make an educated decision. This will apply to ANY records at ANY time, that I sell

And all are made in the great U.S. of A. !!!!!!

I visually grade all my records very conservatively with a 10-point grading system: AND, all of my records are free of tape, writing, tears, stains, warps, stickers, number stickers, unless otherwise noted. I will NEVER sell ANY record at ANY time that is lower than a grade 4 (because I don’t have any !!)

Here's what the grading means:

10 = MINT

9 = Near MINT

8 = Better than VG, But below NM

7 = Very Good

6 = Better than Good, But below Very Good

5 = GOOD

4 = Better than Poor, but below Good

3 = POOR

2 = Really trashed

1 = Frisbee !!

I will now,  for your information,  give you a description of the Grading conditions that I have placed on these records :

MINT =  Never played, awesome surfaces with NO defects !!

N MINT = Beautiful labels, beautiful playing surfaces, but has been played slightly.

VG +  =  Same as above,  but played a bit more.   Just a small amount of VERY SLIGHT / light  surface scratches.

VG  =  Labels clean,  but VERY SLIGHT ring wear.    Playing surfaces show a little bit more light surface scratches / or very light surface scuffs. 

VG -   =  Labels have light / medium ring wear,  light surface scratches/ or scuffs.   Has been played quite a bit. 

G +  =   Labels have medium to heavy ring wear,  many light surface scratches/ or many scuffs.   Has been played alot,  but still is an exceptable copy.

G  =    Labels have wear, and some wear damage.   Surface scuffs and scratches are quite prevelent ( I will RARELY sell any of these,  unless it is rare !!).

FEEDBACK  Feedback is the most effective way to either praise or destroy a persons reputation.  I always make it a point to leave feedback for buyers and sellers alike.   But this has not always been reciprocated.  Please be kind and take a few seconds to leave feedback for ANY transactions that are processed by me,  or any other person you do a transaction with.   This way you can express with honesty and confidence - (good or bad), about your buying/selling experience, for everyone to see !!  (thanks !!)

GOOD LUCK ON YOUR BIDDING !!!!!!!!!
