$

86

Up for sale is the first, and without a doubt, the most collectible LP by Chris Duarte on the Texas based SRS Records label, #SRS-1, titled CHRIS DUARTE AND THE BAD BOYS.  Only 1000 pressings were ever made of this extremely rare LP.  The jacket still has the original shrink wrap in place, and it receives a grade of NM-.  The vinyl and labels also receive a grade of NM-.  This record does not appear to have ever been played.  I grade conservatively, and you will see in the second image that the LP is in near pristine condition, save for a few very minimal rub marks on both sides...you will be very pleased with the condition of this extremely rare and highly collectible LP.  I have included a NM- press release photo of Chris Duarte, which was taken when his group was called CHRIS DUARTE GROUP.  I will ship Internationally, but you must agree to pay the mailing fees that require a signature upon delivery.  Please ask questions before you bid.

One of the watchers on this listing requested that I upload an image of the press release photo of Chris Duarte, so here you have it...good luck to all who bid!

Well, things are getting interesting, as another watcher requested that I take a close-up image of the A side label.  He said it was "nothing personal," but he wanted to make absolutely certain that this LP is as pristine as I said it is, since I only have 2 feedbacks, but there is a reason for only having 2 feedbacks.  Prior to last week, my wife was the one who used ebay, and only to purchase.  I just retired and I have way too much time on my hands, so I thought I'd give selling on ebay a shot to pass the time...and I'm having fun!  Perhaps I should also share with you that I have collected vinyl for over 45 years, and I know how to grade.  Or maybe this gentleman made the request because he knows how rare this LP is, and he is also aware of the fact that Chris Duarte ranked 4th in the "BEST BLUES GUITARIST" catagory in Guitar Player's Magazine; behind only the legendary Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy & B.B.King...pretty special stuff, I'd say.
