BILLY WARD & THE DOMINOES

"BILLY WARD AND THE DOMINOES" US ORIGINAL 1954 FEDERAL 295-94 10" LP!!!!

POSSIBLY THE RAREST ALBUM IF NOT THE RAREST RECORD IN THE WORLD. THIS WAS ISSUED IN SUCH SMALL QUANTITIES, DUE TO THE LABEL FEARING THAT IT WOULDN'T SELL, THAT IT RARELY TURNS UP FOR SALE, EVEN IN THIS DAY & AGE OF THE INTERNET. IF THEY AREN'T OUT THERE, THEY AREN'T OUT THERE, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

A YOUNG JACKIE WILSON MADE HIS BIG-TIME DEBUT HERE AS ONE OF THE DOMINOES, AND HIS POWERFUL, UNIQUE AND WAILING VOICE IS FEATURED THROUGHOUT THIS INCREDIBLE ALBUM.

THIS COPY IS IN DECENT SHAPE, NOT MINT BUT FOR AS RARE AS THIS IS, NICE. I HAVE PLAYED THIS ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND IT PLAYS AND SOUNDS GOOD, HAS LIGHT SURFACE NOISE AND SOME POPS & TICKS, AND COULD USE A GOOD DEEP VPI OR NITTY GRITTY CLEANING TO GET 55 YEARS WORTH OF SLEEVE DUST ETC OUT OF THE GROOVES. GIVEN A CLEANING I THINK THIS IS A PRETTY AMAZING COPY OF THIS ULTRA-MEGA-INSANELY RARE RECORD!

OF SPECIAL INTEREST IS THE FACTORY ERROR OF PUTTING THE SAME SIDE 2 LABEL ON BOTH SIDES. THE RECORD OF COURSE PLAYS THE CORRECT 8 TRACKS, BUT BOTH SIDES HAVE 'SIDE 2' LABELS.

CONDITION DETAILS:

• TOP-OPENING COVER WITH TYPICALLY VERY FRAGILE COVER SEAMS.
• BOTTOM SEAM IS SOLID, COMPLETE AND INTACT
• RIGHT SIDE SEAM HAS 7" SPLIT.  LEFT SIDE SEAM IS FULLY SPLIT
• THERE IS A FAINT RUBBER STAMP 'PROPERTY OF' IN TOP CENTER
• DEEP GROOVE LABELS, THICK VINYL HAS ETCHED FLP-101, FLP-102 MATRIX NUMBERS
• PLAYING SURFACES HAVE SMALL MARKS, SHORT SCRATCHES, & SUPERFICIAL PLAY WEAR, BUT STILL HAVE A FAIR AMOUNT OF SHEEN. AS WITH ALMOST ALL RECORDS PRESSED LIKE THIS IN THE 50'S (STYRENE?), IT TAKES A LICKING AND KEEPS ON TICKING.  

TRACKS:

• THE BELLS
• HAVE MERCY BABY
• SIXTY MINUTE MAN
• I'D BE SATISFIED
• DO SOMETHING FOR ME
• DON'T LEAVE ME THIS WAY
• THESE FOOLISH THINGS REMIND ME OF YOU
• WHEN THE SWALLOWS COME BACK TO CAPISTRANO

VG COVER, OVERALL VG+ LP

(Other than the seam splits this cover would be easily VG++)

EXPECT A WINNER'S NOTICE DIRECTLY FROM US VIA EMAIL WITH ALL CORRECT SHIPPING OPTIONS & COST FOR THIS ITEM. 

ATTENTION! NO PAY PAL! SEE OUR INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH AND/OR SELLER'S PAYMENT INTRUCTIONS FOR ACCEPTABLE PAYMENT METHODS. IMMEDIATE PAYMENT REQUIRED.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH & GOOD LUCK!
