GENE ALLISON Tell Me Sugar Baby/Ask VEE-JAY 365 (VG) |
This 45 came from a collector who began buying records as a
teenager from local stores in Los Angeles in the 1950s; most are original first
pressings. Many of them have stickers or writing on the labels (see photos).
The collection also includes early 1960s promotional jazz and R&B 45s sent
to (but not played by) a San Antonio pop radio station and other vintage
records acquired in Texas and Kansas City.
Those graded VG+ or better are clean and glossy with only faint scuffs or blemishes, if any.
See grading codes below. See photos for stickers, writing on
labels, etc.
Combined shipping available on multiple purchases.

Thanks for buying from my eBay store. Your purchases support my blues
writing and research work!
Please keep me in mind if you have blues memorabilia or records you no
longer want to keep or need to sell or donate.
I have many more records, CDs and magazines listed at my
eBay store, BluEsoterica.com Mail Order, and if you are in Kansas City, see my
bins at Happy Rock Antiques, 100 NW 72nd St. in Gladstone, MO (10 miles north
of downtown KC via U.S. Highway 169). The store is open every day (10am-8 pm
Tuesday through Saturday, noon-5pm Sunday, 10am-6pm Monday). My booth is number
152 (the one with the most soul, blues and jazz records; there are several
other booths with records, too).

GRADING: LPs, EPs and 45s are graded M (mint), NM (near
mint), VG+, VG (very good), VG-, G+, G (good), G-, F (fair), and P (poor).
A VG+ record may have some visible scuffs and light
scratches and plays well with little surface noise. Scratches on records graded
VG and VG- may be deep enough to feel with your fingernail, or there may be
scuffs or scratches throughout that cause surface noise. On records in the G+,
G and G- range the level of the music is still above the surface noise caused
by scuffs and scratches. Surface noise is as loud as the music on records
graded F and louder than the music on P records. P records are likely to be
unplayable.
[+ and - denote in-between grades. Grades with a slash in
between indicate the condition of Side A/Side B.]
Jackets graded VG+ have only slight wear; jackets graded VG are more worn but still intact unless defects are noted. G jackets show definite damage and F and P jackets are probably falling apart. Splits, markings, cut corners, and other defects will be noted or shown in the photos with this listing.
