I am delighted to offer here,
ONE OF THE MOST DESIRABLE ROCK 'n' ROLL RECORDS - EVER !
The marvelously monikered PEANUTS WILSON with the absolute classic "CAST IRON ARM"
For once I am not going to wax lyrical about the extreme rarity of this 45 as all Rock 'n' Roll collectors know this track from many compilations and re-issues. Suffice to say that this is the UK original dating from 1958 on the Coral Label. The condition of both label and playing surfaces are fabulous and would be described in collectors' terms as "excellent". Actually, I would say the condition is better than that and it sounds absolutely brilliant! Believe me, this is an absolute 'find' and may never come on the market again.
If you were to only buy one more record in your life of collecting, make sure it is this one, you will not have another chance!
As with other rare records I am listing I would like to tell you a little about me to give you confidence in bidding and to assure you that this is an absolutely genuine item. I am the managing director of the world famous BEANOS RECORDS and we have had our shops in South London for over 30 years. I write about rare records, appear on TV and Radio and constantly in the National Press. It is BEANOS LIMITED that are selling this most desirable item but I want to be your contact for any queries and, also, to take away the faceless negotiation that an important international auction can sometimes have. I can tell you everything you need to know about the record if you email me with any questions and, you are welcome to visit our shop and view the actual item (by prior appointment) with myself.

As a PS, just to remind you what real ROCK 'n' ROLL is all about, here are the lyrics, THEY DON'T WRITE THEM LIKE THIS ANYMORE
The other night, me and my girl went ballin'
The other night, me and my girl went ballin'
Went to a place called Joe's, that's where everybody goes
When we walked in, she turned every face in the place
When we walked in, she turned every face in the place
A cool number jumped up and made a play for my girl
So I said, so long boy!
I said, don't mess with me, 'cause I got a cast iron arm
I said, don't mess with me, 'cause I got a cast iron arm
Oh, when you mess with me, that only ring my alarm
Well, the music was a-rockin' and the joint was a-jumpin' with jive
Well, the music was a-rockin' and the joint was a-jumpin' with jive
Well, the same cool number made the same wrong move
I hit him in the head!
I said, don't mess with me, 'cause I got a cast iron arm
I said, don't mess with me, 'cause I got a cast iron arm
Oh, when you mess with me, that only ring my alarm
I said, don't mess with me, 'cause I got a cast iron arm
I said, don't mess with me, 'cause I got a cast iron arm
Oh, when you mess with me, that only ring my alarm
You ain't gonna mess with me boy!
