Description

You are bidding on the rare 45:

Lou Walker- Little Bitty Man / Cause I'm Losing You, released by Starday Records (45-701-A/B) in 1958.

*Alright, I have graded this here record in Poor condition. Please keep in mind that the only reason I am listing it is because it is exceptionally rare. Considering this record's "beyond-rare" status, maybe someone will appreciate getting a poor copy on the cheap. Please see my condition description for further details. This is easily one of the rarest Starday records, period. Lou Walker brings a sensational Rockabilly bopper on his classic "Little Bitty Man".*

The Record is play-graded in Poor condition. The record does play all the way through without skipping, but very substantial surface noise is heard throughout the listen. This record should merely serve as a reference copy. You can get a very good idea of the music's sound by listening to it, but it ain't too pretty at all. Visually, the record looks half-way decent considering. It does show many surface marks but doesn't necessarily look like a "poor" record. On part of the edge & early grooves it has some unknown substance that I have not been able to clean off (I have included a photo of this). This unknown ailment cannot be felt with a fingertip. My best guess is maybe it is paint, but I really have no clue.

The labels show a considerable amount of ring wear and a very minor edge tear on Side A (see photo).

Shipping 45s is $2 (media) or $5 (priority) within the U.S.

Shipping 45s to Canada is $3 (1st Class International).

Shipping 45s to anywhere else in the world is $5 (1st Class International).

For combined shipping of 45s, please add $1 for each additional 45 purchase.

Please contact me If you would prefer this 45 to be combined in shipment with an LP. If so, I will place it securely inside the LP's sleeve and just charge you for shipping the LP. If you buy many records from me, I can ship them all together in one box, and charge you the actual cost I pay at the post office. International customers, please keep in mind that once you reach 4 pounds (roughly 4 LPs+), 1st Class International is no longer a shipping option, and you must ship Priority or Express.

Insurance is your option as a buyer. International customers, please keep in mind that you can only insure your item if you ship Express, which can be very expensive. Please contact me if you would prefer this option.

Please take a look at my other auctions. I'll be starting off my listings this week with a handful of very rare 45's (Doo-Wop, Rockabilly, early R&B and Northern Soul). I'll then be listing a large batch of rare LPs, featuring Country (original black label King releases, pedal steel wonders & private press Bluegrass treasures), traditional Irish LPs (some very very fantastic releases) and some Blues rarities (as I usually do). Once this is done, I'll likely be moving on to a very large, eclectic selection of rare CDs, many of which are American Roots Music, including many releases from the revered Alan Lomax collection. All of my listings are auctions beginning at $4.95 with no reserve, and these fantastic releases are the real-deal, with the utmost quality. Thanks!
